GDM2 2.16.3 (stable), the "Bit Late" Release




AOOH-GAH
--------

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

The 2.16.3 release is a stable release of GDM with the following
new features:

- Now support altfile[n] propery to cater for alternative
  image file definition.  (Erwann Chenede)

- Fix custom lists so that focus does not ever leave the
  username/password entry field.  (Brian Cameron)

- Update to make casting more clear in PAM logic.  This fixes a
  bug where the Kerberos PAM module was sending multiple error
  messages and GDM was not processing them properly.
  (Brian Cameron)

- Add X_EXTRA_LIBS and X_LIBS to utils/Makefile when building
  gdm-dmx-reconnect-proxy to fix bug #368808.  (Brian Cameron)

- Translation updates (Djihed Afifi, Wouter Bolsterlee, Luca
  Ferretti, Pema Geyleg, Priit Laes, Duarte Loreto, Christophe
  Merlet, Jovan Naumovski, Daniel Nylander, Ankit Patel, Ignacio
  Casal Quinteiro, Satoru SATOH, Francisco Javier F. Serrador,
  Alexander Shopov, Ilkka Tuohela)

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.
