Changes between 2.20.0 and 2.22.0:
==================================

    * Completed the basic certificate store which supports
      X.509 certificates, RSA and DSA keys, and trust
      values.
    * Added an SSH agent which integrates with the users
      login, and with the key store.
    * Support for unencrypted password keyrings when the
      user chooses to use a blank password for the keyring.
    * Use gconf to control which components of the daemon
      are started.
    * Fix hangs when daemon version does not match that
      of the library.
    * Don't prompt for a password from the PAM module
      in cases where the user has not already entered
      a password.
    * Use less non-pageable memory when prompting the
      user to enter a password.
    * Automatically activate keyring daemon via DBus if
      it is not already running.
    * PAM module now works with SELinux
    * Many crash, and other fixes.
