Boxes 3.7.4



Hi everyone,

Announcing another release in the 3.7.x unstable cycle. Changes since 3.7.3:

- Make use of new libosinfo API to avoid starting installation in language
  unsupported by installer media.
- Add smartcard support. If --enable-smartcard support is passed we create new
  VMs with smartcard support, or let you add it to old VMs.
- Ensure driver files cache is up2date and unique.
- Once installation is complete,
  - Eject CDROM.
  - Delete installer files.
- Make the progressbar on wizard's preparation page more useful by showing
  progress of media detection and drivers download and keeping user informed
  about current activity.
- Adapt to Clutter 1.12 and Gtk+ 3.2.
- Added/updated/fixed translations:
  - Assamese
  - Belarusian
  - Bulgarian
  - Estonian
  - Galician
  - Hebrew
  - Hungarian
  - Lithuanian
  - Norwegian bokmÃl
  - Polish
