Please unblock package tomboy-ng v0.36a

[ Reason ]
Poor testing on my part lead to the use of bad colors for dark
themes with version 0.36 currently in Bookworm. This relates to
tomboy-ng's recent move to using Qt5 instead of gtk2 and,
perhaps, my own person preference to not use dark themes.
V0.36a is now uploaded and my sponsor requested I apply for an
unblock.

[ Impact ]
As several users of the version currently in Testing have advised
me, with some dark themes, the existing version might display
some text with the same color as the background. Not good.

[ Tests ]
I have personally tested the proposed new version, 0.36a extensively.
Similarly, some testing by end users has also taken place.

[ Risks ]
All changes relate to text colors. No other application logic
has changed.
As no package depends on tomboy-ng, effects beyond tomboy-ng approach
zero. In every case identified, the 0.36a delivers the same or better
user experience.

[ Checklist ]
   [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
   [x] I initiated and reviewed all changes and I approve them
   [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
Attached is a debdiff between 0.36 and 0.36a, quite a lot of its
content relates to the Lazarus IDE's making inconsequential of
changes to po and form files. Of significance is changes to
man pages (better description of how to manage it's Qt5 colors)
and editbox.pas where the means of determining appropriate
colors has been changed. Changes to settings.pas to inform user
of non-standard colors and save preferences.
Some related minor change to loadnote.pas and mainform.pas

Thanks for your consideration, David Bannon

Why are you removing the old changelog entry?

Cheers

Good question Sebastian.  Sadly, I don't have a good answer. Seems in my
haste to get the important fixes into the app in time, I messed up use
of my packaging scripts. (Noting I release tomboy-ng in several other
Linux packages, Windows and MacOS.)

The changelog 'should' look like this (just updated) -

https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy-ng/blob/master/debian/changelog

But the one you have is missing transition from 0.35 to 0.36. Future
releases will have the missing information.

// ----------------------------------------------

I'd appreciate a -2 upload fixing the changelog. As 0.36 removes
features, users should know about that.

Cheers

Hmm, yes, you are quite correct. The Tomdroid link has been removed and
that absolutely should be mentioned in the change log (users have been
warned for several releases and it was always 'experimental' but still ...)

I have now uploaded a -2 version to Mentors.  Attached is the debdiff,
fortunately the changelog appears at the top !  You will see a much more
conventional progression of changes now.

https://mentors.debian.net/package/tomboy-ng/

And, obviously, no changes to other than the changelog !

I will notify my sponsor of this upload.

Thanks for your help at a busy time.
