GDM2 2.15.6 (unstable), the "Full Moon" Release




AOOH-GAH
--------

(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)

The 2.15.6 release is an unstable release of GDM with the following
new features.

- Timed Login message fixed so it works when TimedLogin is set to a
  piped script.

- Fix decoding of suspend command so it works.

- Make sure that focus is returned to entry after dialogs are launched
  from the new Options button.

- NoHost icon updated to use official GNOME logo.  New default face
  image with a facelift.

- Scrolling regions in gdmsetup User tab are now scrollable
  vertically, improving UI experience.  gdmsetup now generates a
  proper error message and fails when it can't find the custom
  configuration file.

- Translation updates (Runa Bhattacharjee, Raivis Dejus, I. Felix,
  Yair Hershkovitz, Inaki Larranaga, Chao-Hsiung Liao, Dukas Novotny,
  Daniel Nylander, Rajesh Ranjan, Hendrick Richter, Ilkka Tuohela)

Note that this also contains an important security fix that was
originally released in 2.15.4, so please make sure to update if
using an older version than 2.15.4.

Note:  GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp mkp net>.
Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl, and Brian Cameron
currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England.

Note2:  If installing from the tarball do note that make install
overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf.  It will
however save backups with the .orig extension first.
