 NEWS: sabayon-2.27.0
========================================

Version 2.27.0
==============

  Code name:

	* "Perforated bedsheet"

  What's new in this release:

	* Sabayon now uses Xephyr instead of Xnest for its child
          session.  This means that a) you must have Xephyr installed;
          b) the child session should work much better than before, as
          Xephyr supports most of the recent X extensions, unlike
          Xnest.

	* Sabayon now passes the DEBUG_WHILE_IN_SABAYON environment
          variable untouched to all its child processes.  You can use
          this as a hook from applications to debug them in special
          ways while they are being run inside Sabayon.

	* For debugging purposes, Sabayon no longer eats the stderr
          output from its child processes.  This will change in the
          future as we improve the logging infrastructure.

  Fixes:

	* bgo#542604 - Fix file monitoring (Sayamindu Dasgupta)

	* bgo#576440 - Don't crash if XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME is not set
          (Tomas Bzatek)

	* bgo#564405 - use gobject.timeout_add_seconds() where
          possible (Debarshi Ray)

	* Fix monitoring and saving of panel applets (Sayamindu Dasgupta, 
	  Federico Mena Quintero).  This gets rid of the annoying
	  error, "cannot concatenate str and NoneType objects".

	* Ignore .gvfs in user profiles (Federico Mena Quintero)
