[News]

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:

Changes between 2.29.5 and 2.29.90:
===================================

* Quit daemon when the dbus session is disconnected.
* GNU Hurd build fixes.
* Solaris build fixes.
* Translation fixes.
* Don't print out warnings on SSH v1 keys.
* Remove erroneous egg-dbus dependency.
* Allow saving password for encryption keys.
* Fix problems storing secrets in keyrings.
* Expose idle and timeout lock options for keyrings in the
prompt dialog. Fix remaining issues to get this to work.
* Display a different message when unlocking the login keyring.
* Fix problem with phantom 'xxx_1' keyrings appearing.
* Load and use the default keyring properly.
* Support accessing template style pkcs11 attributes.
* Fix endless loop when looking for encryption key password
in login keyring.
