-propellor 5.2.0 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
- * [ Joey Hess ]
- * bootstrappedFrom: Set up local privdata file.
- * Parted: Fix names used for FAT and VFAT partitions.
- * Parted: Add an Alignment parameter. (API change)
- A good default to use is safeAlignment, which is 4MiB,
- well suited for inexpensive flash drives, and fine for other disks too.
- Previously, a very non-optimial 1MB (not 1MiB) alignment had been used.
- * DiskImage: Use safeAlignment. It didn't seem worth making the
- alignment configurable here.
- * Fixed rounding bug in Parted.calcPartTable.
- * DiskImage: Fix rsync crash when a mount point does not exist in the
- chroot.
- * Fix bug in unmountBelow that caused unmounting of nested mounts to
- fail.
- * Grub.boots, Grub.bootsMounted: Pass --target to grub-install.
- * Added Propellor.Property.Installer modules, which can be used to create
- bootable installer disk images, which then run propellor to install
- a system. This code was extracted from the demo I gave in my
- talk at DebConf 2017.
- * [ Sean Whitton ]
- * Sbuild: add notes about Debian jessie hosts and backports of sbuild and
- autopkgtest."""]] \ No newline at end of file

+propellor 5.3.0 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+ * Avoid bogus warning about new upstream version when /usr/bin/propellor
+ is run on a Debian system, but ~/.propellor was not cloned from the
+ Debian git bundle.
+ * Parted: Allow partitions to have no filesystem, for eg, GPT BIOS boot
+ partitions. (API change)
+ * Added rawPartition to PartSpec, for specifying partitions with no
+ filesystem.
+ * Added BiosGrubFlag to PartFlag.
+ * Add HasCallStack constraint to pickOS and unsupportedOS, so the
+ call stack includes the caller.
+ * Run su with --login, to avoid inheriting some problematic environment
+ variables, such as TMP, from the caller.
+ * Grub: Added properties to configure /etc/default/grub.
+ * Laptop: New module, starting with powertopAutoTuneOnBoot."""]] \ No newline at end of file
