@@ -1,4 +1,43 @@ =============== +Version 2.29.2 +=============== + +- Now GDM supports Include, Exclude, and IncludeAll configuration options to + allow the ability to configure which users are displayed in the FaceBrowser. +- Now GDM supports better debugging. Users can set the debug/Enable + configuration option to turn on GDM debugging. +- The directory where GDM screenshots are placed has been moved to its own + directory: /var/run/gdm/greeter/GDM-Screenshot.png. The screenshot directory + can now be specified at build time via the --with-screenshot-dir configure + argument. +- Many simple-greeter Face Browser usability improvements. +- The simple-greeter Face Browser tree view search entry is now obscured to + help prevent accidental display of passwords. +- Shutdown and reboot functions are moved to a menu in the simple-greeter panel + instead of being presented as buttons. The shutdown menu is better + positioned on multi-monitor displays. +- The simple-greeter panel notification area has been improved and now honors + the GConf setting for /apps/notification_area_applet/prefs/padding. +- The entry field in the simple-greeter now has accessibility labels so it will + work better with accessibility programs. +- The clock in the simple-greeter panel no longer shows the date, making the + screen look a little cleaner. The date is moved to the clock tooltip so it + is still available. +- The simple-greeter now uses gethostname instead of g_get_host_name since + is more reliable when the hostname changes at runtime. +- The user switch applet now honors disable_lock_screen. The option to lock + screen is now not shown if disable_lock_screen is set. +- The /var/run/gdm directory is better locked down. +- GDM no longer crashes on bad UTF-8 in the /etc/passwd file. +- When the worker dies, the auth-failed signal is no longer sent. This + prevents a crash that happens when switching run-levels when the login screen + is displayed. +- Ensure that the length of sockaddr structure is set to the correct length for + IPv4 or IPv6. This makes GDM work better on some operating systems that are + picky about the length being exact. +- String and documentation improvements. + +=============== Version 2.28.1 =============== |
