ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.29.5

[news 28]

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 2.29.4 and 2.29.5:

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

 

* 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.
