usb-modeswitch (1.0.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
UPSTREAM: Version 1.0.5 introduces two major changes.
* The devices configuration is split:
- /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf is dropped in favor of files in
/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/
- This means that the customisation or new devices that were defined in
/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf will be _LOST_.
+ Normally, there no need anymore to play with comments and such to only
get the correct devices switched.
* The detection of devices is greatly improved:
- /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_modeswitch.rules (Debian-specific) is dropped in
favor of /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules (from upstream).
These rules call /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/usb_modeswitch.{sh,tcl} to
handle the automagical detection and switching of the devices.
- This means that any device selection done by comment-tweak in the
Debian-specific .rules file will be lost.
+ But it is normally replaced by a superior and more universal device
detection.
Finally, if you had modified /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf to insert home-brewn
tweaks, you will need to migrate these tweaks to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/*
files. But if you had only selected alternative devices in
/etc/udev/usb_modeswitch.rules, you should normally have nothing to do, as
these alternatives should now be detected (read below).
DEBIAN: Version 1.0.5-1 now makes the rules "opt-in"
* udev (from version 146-1) now ships a modem-modeswitch program that does
what usb-modeswitch used to do. To ensure that the transition to this udev
facility is smooth for everyone, the usb-modeswitch program is kept, but
with an opt-in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules.
* Thus if modem-modeswitch from udev (>= 146-1) works for your device, you
can uninstall usb-modeswitch.
* A contrario, if modem-modeswitch doesn't switch your device, please file a
bug against udev and edit /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules to
enable it.

usb-modeswitch (1.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
For the 1.0.0 release, the command line options have changed in two ways from
their behavior in the 0.9.* versions:
* On/off flags don't require arguments anymore (e.g. '-H' instead of '-H 1')
* long option names changed to standard format (e.g. --huawei-mode instead
of --HuaweiMode).
The old options are _not_ recognised and _will_ make usb_modeswitch fail. So
check your scripts and everything that might be using these command lines.
