  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * new default exhibit image from Marcus Haslam, many thanks
  * tweak html for the default text layout
  * softwarecenter/utils.py:
    - never cache local urls in the SimpleFileDownloader
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/exhibits.py:
    - fix bug in banner image rendering when the agent serves the images
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/app.py, debian/control:
    - renenable plugin loader
    - add conflict against older oneconf as the old oneconf plugin
      will crash softwarecenter because of mixing pygtk with pygi
    - load plugins from $SOFTWARE_CENTER_PLUGINS_DIR,
      /usr/share/software-center/plugins,
      ~/.local/share/software-center/plugins (LP: #631457)
  * doc/example_plugin.py:
    - updated to the gtk3 version
  * softwarecenter/backend/scagent.py:
    - generically deal with exhibts without a title
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/exhibits.py:
    - set the default exhibit cycle time to 10s but do not cycle if
      the main application does not have the active toplevel focus
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/views/catview_gtk.py:
    - if there is only a single app in a exhibit, show that on
      click (LP: #848995)
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/panes/availablepane.py,
    softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/views/catview_gtk.py:
    - when showing a exhibts list, show with flags=["nonapps-visible"]
      (LP: #849035)
  * softwarecenter/backend/scagent.py:
    - if the server does not provide a title for a exhibit use the
      html title tag or the first h1
  * software-center-gtk3:
    - removed, the gtk3 version is now default and identical to
      the software-center command
  * softwarecenter/utils.py:
    - avoid race condition on slow connections (LP: #839462)
  * lp:~mvo/software-center/per-thread-xapiandb:
    - create per-thread xapian.Database objects to avoid race
      condition with multiple threads

  [ Matthew McGowan ]
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/app.py:
    - inhibit system error bell (LP: #846138)
  * softwarecenter/utils.py,
    softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/description.py,
    test/test_description_norm.py:
    - tweak the description parser to not omit linebreaks when
      a newline follows a terminator (e.g. "." or ":"), add a
      preparser special case for texlive-fonts-extra, update
      unit test (LP: #846944)
  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/session/navhistory.py:
    - fix multiple navigation items generated during search
      (LP: #842734)
  * lp:~mmcg069/software-center/bug844068:
    - if search is cleared by the user whilst the search context is a
      subcategory, return to the unfiltered subcategory list not the
      category page (bug 844068).
  * lp:~mmcg069/software-center/themeing-improvements:
