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

This is an unstable development release, and we're currently in the
middle of integrating a large batch of refactoring changes to make the
PKCS#11 code more modular, easier to test and hack.


Important Notes:

    * Code refactoring.
    * Support automatically initializing a PKCS#11 token when
      not initialized.
    * Add modular user-store module for general storage of
      keys and certs.
    * Build fixes [Saleem Abdulrasool, Jeff Cai]
    * Add modular roots-store module for storage of trusted CA certs.
    * Add modular rpc-layer for communication between module and daemon.
