ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.19.6

From:  Stef Walter <stef-list-AT-memberwebs.com>

Subject:  ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.19.6
Date:  Sat, 28 Jul 2007 00:06:07 +0000 (UTC)
Message-ID:  <20070728000607.3FDEAD4C18@mx.npubs.com>

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

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

    * gnome-keyring has a PAM module which can automatically unlock
      users' keyrings. This needs distro and/or OS integration:
      http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Pam

    * gnome-keyring now optionally depends on libhal and libhal-storage.
      This is to support use of keyrings on removable media.

    * When run on an OS that does not allow a normal user to lock
      memory, passwords and/or keys may be written to disk.

Changes between 2.19.5 and 2.19.6:
==================================

    * Grab the keyboard when prompting for passwords, and always
      put the prompt window above other windows.
    * Now supports use of keyrings on removable drives.
    * PAM module to automatically unlock keyrings on login, or unlocking
      a screensaver.
    * Simplify daemon code (now uses cooperative threading) and get it
      ready for other PKCS#11, SSH and other stuff running in same
      process.

Updated Translations:
