System Tools Backends Version 2.8, 2009-O8-20
-----------------------------------------------

The System Tools Backends version 2.8 "Greetings from Marienham" have
been released.

The System Tools Backends are a set of cross-platform modules for Linux,
FreeBSD, Solaris and other Unix systems. The backends provide an common
DBus interface to all distros for modifying or reading the system
configuration.

Right now the System Tools Backends fully support various distros/OS
such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian (and derivations like
Ubuntu, Linex, Guadalinex...), FreeBSD, Solaris, Gentoo, Slackware,
OpenNA, PLD, Vine and Specifix.

Changes since last release
==========================

    - Port to PolicyKit1. This change breaks compatibility with clients
that don't support it, namely the gnome-system-tools < 2.28. (Milan
Bouchet-Valat)
    - Fix D-Bus and PolicyKit policy files (Milan Bouchet-Valat, Simon
McVittie, Josselin Mouette and Colin Walters)
    - Move the s-t-b executable to sbindir (Vladimir Lettiev)
    - Remove stale PID file when terminating (Chris Coulson)
    - Copy timezone to /etc/localtime instead of symlinking. Packaging
tools should take care of updating themselves that file when they update
the timezone data. (Steve Langasek)
    - Fix Gentoo support in several ways (Jeremy Guitton)
    - Fix translation files being installed with broken name (Götz
Waschk)
    - Fix failure in time-admin when looking up "Europe/Helsinki" as
time zone value (Michael Terry)
