ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.26.0

[Stef Walter <stef-list memberwebs com>]

gnome-keyring is the part of the GNOME Desktop that saves your passwords
and encryption keys securely.

This is an stable release for general usage.


Important Notes:
================

    * Some helpful notes for distributors:
      http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Distributors

    * Details of starting gnome-keyring-daemon have changed:
      http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/RunningDaemon

    * DBus is now a required dependency.

    * gnome-keyring now includes a new library:
      - gcr (Gtk based GUI parts for X.509 and related)


Changes between 2.24.0 and 2.26.0:
==================================

    * Refactor PKI code to make it modular, loosely coupled and easier
      to hack and test.
    * Add standard widgets for display of certificates.
    * If login keyring doesn't exist when changing a PAM password,
      don't create it automatically.
    * Overhaul the secure memory allocator to have memory guards,
      be valgrind compatible, and also be sparing with secure memory.
    * When importing keys, prompt to initialize new PKCS#11 tokens.
    * Fix export of RSA keys to be more interoperable.
    * Make the gp11 library multi-thread safe.
    * Rework initialization of daemon, and the way that it
      integrates with the new session manager.
    * Close open file descriptors before starting daemon from PAM.
    * Don't leave keyring daemon running if PAM just started it
      for a password change.
    * Register environment variables with session properly.
    * Remove usage of deprecated glib/gtk stuff.
    * Hundreds of other smaller changes and fixes.


Changes between 2.25.92 and 2.26.0:
====================================

    * Implement support for running gnome-keyring-daemon under valgrind.
    * Checks for asn1Parser tool when configuring. [Alberto Ruiz].
    * Only automatically expose PKCS#11 public key objects for
      private keys.
    * Have the SSH agent only log into the token when we have a private
      key that we want to access.
    * Disable input method in password. [Takao Fujiwara]
