Hi Vlad,

That's great! Thanks for getting back so quickly! I've bumped up the
version and added the <legalnotice>:
http://libertybsd.net/granule/granule-manual-en-1.1.1.tar.gz

Debian is using the 1.4.0-7 release. Most of the bugs which I am fixing
are specific to Debian. However, there are some which may be of interest
to upstream:

- A Swedish translation has been made
  https://bugs.debian.org/361081

- Building with gcc4.8 and -fpermissive has been fixed

http://sources.debian.net/src/granule/1.4.0-7-2/debian/patches/01-fix-template-with-permissive.diff/

- A menu file and an xpm icon have been created
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737922

- configure.in is being depreciated. It should be renamed to configure.ac
  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/deprecated-configure-filename.html

- You don't need to specify the encoding key in .desktop entries anymore
  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key.html

- Some keywords could be added to the .desktop entry
  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry.html

- To comply with policy, I'm going to make a basic manpage for granule.
I haven't done this yet, though.

- Someone has reported a bug with Debian in which they have made granule
segfault. I'm not sure how to fix this, though.
  https://bugs.debian.org/402210

- While not mandatory, for security reasons Debian recommends that
upstreams use GPG signatures to verify releases.
  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature.html

Thanks!

Riley
