Description:
    Conary 1.0.24 is a maintenance release.
    
    Server Changes:
     o  Administrators can now download server binary access logs by
        visiting the http://servername/conary/log URL. Once the log
        is accessed, it is rotated automatically by the repository
        server. Subsequent accesses to the log URL will only yield
        log entries added since the last access. (CNY-638)
     o  The Users and Groups tab in the web management UI is no longer
        highlighted when administrators change their passwords.
    
    Client Changes:
     o  A --what-provides option has been added to the conary query
        and conary repquery commands.
     o  A bug that installed extra components of a package that is
        being installed instead of updated due to the existing package
        being pinned has been fixed. (CNY-682)
    
    Build Changes:
     o  When pulling files out of a src.rpm file, Conary now stores
        the src.rpm file itself in the repository rather than the files
        pulled from it. (CNY-684)
     o  Mono dependency version mappings are now discovered in CIL policy
        .config files. (CNY-686)
     o  The internal util.literalRegex() function has been replaced by
        use of re.escape(). (CNY-634)
    
    Bug Fixes:
     o  The Conary Repository web interface no longer returns a
        HTTP_FORBIDDEN (403) when a bad password is given by the user.
        This allows the user to re-try authentication.
     o  The --signatures and --buildreqs flags now work with the conary
        showcs command. (CNY-642)
     o  A bug in the NetworkRepositoryClient default pwPrompt mechanism
        has been fixed.
     o  Error messages when entitlements fail to load have been improved.
        (CNY-662)
     o  The repository client no longer caches repository access info when
        the attempt to access was unsuccessful. (CNY-673, affects CNY-578)
     o  A bug that caused x86 flavored troves from being updated properly
        when using the conary updateall command on an x86_64 system has
        been fixed. (CNY-628)
     o  A bug has been fixed that caused migrate behavior to not respect
        pins when the pinned troves were set to be erased. (CNY-680)
     o  Calling r.ComponentSpec(':foo') works again; it is exactly
        equivalent to r.ComponentSpec('foo'). (CNY-637)
     o  Calling r.Move() with only one argument now fails explicitly
        rather than silently doing nothing. (CNY-614
