wicd (1.7.4+tb2-3) unstable; urgency=medium

    From 1.7.2.4 to 1.7.3 upstream changed the way the to-be-sent hostname
    is replaced in /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template. If you use
    "$_HOSTNAME" in there, please replace it accordingly to the updated
    template at /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template.default.

    Background is that from now on not only the hostname gets replaced but
    the whole line.

wicd (1.7.0+ds1-3) unstable; urgency=low

    From version 1.7, wicd uses /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template as
    its configuration file for dhclient(1), if you chose it as DHCP
    client.

    Before connecting, this will copied to /var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf,
    after a backup of the original file has been made. The backup would be
    restored after the connection terminates.
    
    For more information about how to use this file, refer to
    dhclient.conf(5).

wicd (1.5.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

    From this version onwards, the wicd-client GUI will be available 
    only to users of the `netdev' group, so as to avoid users not 
    enabled by root to change network configuration.
    This means that, if you do *not* belong to that group, wicd-client 
    will refuse to start with a permission denied error by DBus, as soon 
    as installation of 1.5.9-1 succeeds.

    To add yourself to the netdev group, ask your administrator to 
    do, or do as root yourself:

      # usermod --append --groups netdev <yourusername>

    (obviously replace "<yourusername>" with the user you want to grant 
    access to wicd-client to). This could also be done with graphical 
    user management programs.

    Also, be sure to reload the D-Bus daemon with:

      # /etc/init.d/dbus reload
