 +gnome-shell (50~beta-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
 +
 +  * New upstream release: 50.beta
 +  * Refresh patches and fix conflicts:
 +    - Revert-main-Register-session-with-GDM-on-startup.patch
 +    - Revert-tests-Fail-on-warnings-too.patch
 +    - shell-app-Warn-instead-of-crashing-if-disposed-before-sta.patch
 +  * Drop upstreamed patches:
 +    - libgvc/* because 50.beta includes a new snapshot of the subproject
 +      which includes all those changes.
 +    - Revert-main-Register-session-with-GDM-on-startup.patch
 +  * Declare gnome-shell-common breaks old versions of gnome-session-common,
 +    since the systemd services changed: gnome-shell!3960, gnome-session!167

+ gnome-shell (49.3-3) unstable; urgency=medium
+ 
+   * d/control, d/gbp.conf: Branch for 49.x.
+     The debian/latest branch is now being used to package v50 for
+     experimental.
+   * d/patches: Mark libgvc update as included in 49.4
+   * d/patches: Update to commit 49.3-27-g7e2619acb.
+     This incorporates most of the bug fixes backported from 50.beta or
+     earlier that will be in 49.4. I've excluded changes from
+     upstream gnome-shell!4058 for now, since those want a newer version of
+     mutter and will log warnings until we have one.
+     - Update libgvc again, fixing duplicate audio devices and a memory leak
+     - Fix a memory leak when progress spinners are destroyed
+     - In the app grid, only create default folders on first startup
+     - Allow tab-to-focus in the quick settings menu
+     - Fix inconsistent padding in the message list
+     - When prompting for a password, tell ibus whether the text is hidden
+       or visible, so it can hide preedit text when appropriate
+     - Avoid misleading stack traces and possible crashes when a warning is
+       emitted from a background thread
+     - Improve handling of invalid positions in touchscreen swipe tracking
+     - In gdm, show authentication messages for at least 2 seconds,
+       even if they are a very short string like "PIN locked"
+     - In gdm, ensure that we proceed to the session when authentication
+       fails but then succeeds
+     - In gdm, reset correctly if the user verifier connection is closed
+     - Consistently use one-shot idle and timeout functions where appropriate
+     - Translation updates: cs, el, kk, th
