ANNOUNCEMENT: Seahorse 0.9.2



You've ordered the special.


Try out these features:
==========================

Use SSH keys instead of SSH password logins:
  - Generate yourself an SSH key using the menu item
    'Key | Create New Key' in the 'Encryption Keys' program.
  - Use 'Configure SSH Key for Computer' to send your key to
    a remote machine.

Save your SSH key passphrases in gnome-keyring.
  - Make sure you have a SSH key agent setup properly
    (most distros do)
  - Check the 'Automatically load SSH keys' checkbox on
    the 'Passphrase Cache' tab in 'Encryption Preferences'.

Save your GPG key passphrases in gnome-keyring.
  - Select the 'Always remember passphrases whenever logged in'
    option on the 'Passphrase Cache' tab in 'Encryption Preferences'.


About Seahorse:
