ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.20

[Stef Walter <stef-list memberwebs com>]

gnome-keyring is the part of the GNOME Desktop that saves your network
and other passwords securely.

Important Notes:
================

    * The user's session must be restarted after upgrading to
      gnome-keyring 2.20 from earlier version. The various prompts
      will otherwise fail to work.

    * gnome-keyring has a PAM module which can automatically unlock
      users' keyrings. This needs distro and/or OS integration:
      http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Pam

    * libgcrypt is now a required depedency of gnome-keyring.

    * Optional dependencies are libhal and libhal-storage, which add
      support for using keyrings on removable media.

    * When run on an OS that does not allow a normal user to lock
      memory, passwords and/or keys may be written to disk.


Changes between 0.8 and 2.20:
=============================

    * Unlock keyrings automatically via a new PAM module.
    * Store sensitive data like passwords in memory that is not
      swapped to disk.
    * Grab keystrokes when prompting for passwords, so that
      passwords are not accidentally entered into the wrong
      window.
    * Supports use of keyrings on removable drives.
    * API documentation.
    * Added gnome_keyring_result_to_message() API for
      providing human readable messages from results.
    * The daemon now quits properly on various Unix signals.
    * Log all messages from daemon to the system syslog.
    * The prompt and password dialogs are better looking.
    * Performance enhancements.
    * Remove memory leaks, and better internal structure.
    * Use unit testing to ensure API works properly.
    * Use libgcrypt instead of hand rolled crypto algorithms.
