ANNOUNCEMENT: gnome-keyring 2.25.5

news · January 21, 2009

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:

================

* Some helpful notes for distributors:

* Details of starting gnome-keyring-daemon have changed:

* DBus is now a required dependency.

Changes between 2.25.4 and 2.25.5:

==================================

* Refactor out gcr library for crypto UI and related tasks.

* 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.

* Add modular ssh-agent as the main gnome-keyring-daemon agent.
