GNOME System Tools Version 2.29.2, 2010-01-11
-----------------------------------------------

  Users
  =====
  - Move to new System Tools Backends protocol (new liboobs API). We now
only commit changes to one user at a time, reducing the risk for
dangerous bugs.
  - Include default profiles configuration file (user-profiles.conf).
Distributors should modify it to suit their needs and send them back for
inclusion.
  - When creating an user, don't force UID, main group, home directory
and shell: these parameters are now handled (better) by the platform
tools.
  - Allow removing home directory when deleting an user.
  - Don't allow deleting the last administrator account, and warn when
the user is losing its own admin rights. Same for active users.
  - Don't allow creating a group with an existing GID.
  - Use UID and GID ranges defined by liboobs, depending on the
platform's abilities.
  - Clear suggested login entry when Real name is emptied in the new
user dialog.
  - Change GConf "showall" option to apply only on users. System groups
are always shown, since they are the most interesting ones.
  - Various UI and string improvements.
