gnome-keyring ANNOUNCEMENT: 2.29.4



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:
      http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Distributors


Changes between 2.28.2 and 2.29.4:
==================================

     * Refactor how the daemon starts up.
     * Allow init with already present environment variables,
       using --start.
     * Install autostart files for each component of the daemon.
     * New DBus Secret Service API for accessing passwords and secrets.
     * Old protocol for accessing secrets is no longer present.
     * libgnome-keyring is now its own module, and no longer bundled
       with gnome-keyring.
     * Use normal GtkEntry when prompting for passwords.
     * Requires GTK+ 2.18
     * Implement new more flexible control protocol for pam and startup.
     * Complete more of the gp11 PKCS#11 wrapper library.
     * Implement AES key wrapping and unwrapping in PKCS#11 components.
     * Implement DH key generation and derivation in PKCS#11 components.
     * Integrate testing of PKCS#11 components via p11-tests.
     * Implement PKCS#11 component for storing 'keyring' style secrets.
     * Don't complain if we can't set session environment variables.
     * When running a debug build, warnings are fatal.
     * Refactor testing.
     * Encrypted channel for password with prompting dialog.
