ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.29.5



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

This is an unstable release for testing and development.


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

    * gnome-keyring-daemon no longer supports the old protocol
      for accessing secrets or passwords. A new DBus API called
      'Secret Service' is implemented. The new libgnome-keyring
      abstracts this change in a mostly transparent way.

    * libgnome-keyring is no longer bundled. It is distributed
      separately.

    * GTK+ 2.18 is now required.

    * The XDG autostart files are used more extensively to
      startup and control what components of the daemon run.

    * Some helpful notes for distributors:

==================================

    * Implement lookup collection passwords in login keyring.
    * Various prompting fixes.
    * Store PKCS#11 objects after any attribute change.
    * Add 'Type' property to Secret Service API DBus item interface
    * Various warning, and uninitialized memory fixes.
