changes:
-bugfixes
-Add dbus activation service file for org.freedesktop.secrets
pkgsrc note: removed dependency on libgnome-keyring; child pkgs
should have been updated to list this dependency explicitely
This switches to the gnome-2.30 release branch
pkgsrc note: temporarily add a dependency on libgnome-keyring which
was split out of the old gnome-keyring pkg, so that client pkgs
get the same as before
Changes in version 2.28.2 are:
* Add license to reference documentation.
* Sent output of g_printerr to syslog.
* No error when can't unlock login keyring.
* Fix assertion when comparing attributes.
* Fix freeing of unallocated memory in test.
* Don't barf on certificates with unsupported algorithm.
* Fix some memory leaks.
changes:
-Build fixes
-Fix problem with RSA key sizes that are not a multiple of 8.
This affected use of SSH keys in particular
-Fix crash related to secure memory
changes:
-DBus now automatically starts the gnome-keyring service properly
-Initialize daemon with LOGNAME and USERNAME environment variables
-Add DBus method for getting the gnome-keyring environment variables
-misc fixes
Changes between 2.24.0 and 2.26.0:
==================================
* Refactor PKI code to make it modular, loosely coupled and easier
to hack and test.
* Add standard widgets for display of certificates.
* If login keyring doesn't exist when changing a PAM password,
don't create it automatically.
* Overhaul the secure memory allocator to have memory guards,
be valgrind compatible, and also be sparing with secure memory.
* When importing keys, prompt to initialize new PKCS#11 tokens.
* Fix export of RSA keys to be more interoperable.
* Make the gp11 library multi-thread safe.
* Rework initialization of daemon, and the way that it
integrates with the new session manager.
* Close open file descriptors before starting daemon from PAM.
* Don't leave keyring daemon running if PAM just started it
for a password change.
* Register environment variables with session properly.
* Remove usage of deprecated glib/gtk stuff.
* Hundreds of other smaller changes and fixes.
This switches to the new gnome-2.20 branch.
(While this is not part of the "platform" subset formally, it is used
by platform -- this looks like an inconsistency in gnome packaging.)
Changes in version 0.8 are:
* Translations
Changes in version 0.7.92 are:
* Fix build by including sys/types.h
* In gnome_keyring_free() don't crash on NULL parameter.
Changes in version 0.7.91 are:

already exists.
* Fix crasher when deleting session keyring.

to be for a single application only with strict access controls.
* New function gnome_keyring_item_get_info_full(_sync) which allow
retrieval of item meta data without the secret, thus not incurring
an ACL prompt.
* Translation updates
* NetBSD fixes
* Crash fix
* Typo fix
* Translations

* Translation updates
* Better title in docs
* Fixed crashes
* New function: gnome_keyring_item_grant_access_rights_sync

* Create ~/.gnome2 if needed
* Save keyring when an ACL is added
* Add password strength meter
* Small bugfixes
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
Changes in version 0.4.0 are:
* Build fix on some systems
* Translation updates
Changes in version 0.3.3 are:
* Translation updates
Changes in version 0.3.2 are:
* New API functions for getting/setting ACL
* Implemented delete keyring operation
Changes in version 0.3.1 are:
* New and updated translations.
* New introduction document
* unlocking the NULL keyring unlocks the default keyring
gnome-keyring is a program that keeps passwords and other secrets for
users. It is run as a damon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and
other applications can locate it by an environment variable.
The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master
password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to
disk, but forgotten when the session ends.
The library libgnome-keyring is used by applications to integrate with
the gnome keyring system. However, at this point the library hasn't
been tested and used enough to consider the API to be publically exposed.
Therefore use of libgnome-keyring is at the moment limited to internal
use in the gnome desktop. However, we hope that the gnome-keyring API
will turn out useful and good, so that later it can be made public for
any application to use.
