+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
