The 2.28.0 release is a stable release of the GNOME Display Manager
(GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements:
- Now GDM supports the ability to specify the automatic/timed login user
via a script via the same interface that the old GDM supported.
- Now the user's dmrc and face image files are stored in /var/cache/gdm,
so that the login process does not need to access the user's $HOME
directory before authentication. Refer to bug #565151.
- Fix the login GUI options widget so the language/session/layout
choices are not reset after a failed login.
- Fix language dialog so it does not crash if the user click's the "OK"
button when no language is selected.
- Fix to ensure that the login dialog regains focus after the language
or layout dialogs are used.
- The language dialog has improved logic to sort the language names more
correctly.
- Make sure to check error variable is not NULL before referencing it in
the gdm-user-manager code.
- Make sure to not print NULL strings since this causes crashes on some
platforms.
- Improve documentation.
