NEWS: gdm-2.17.2
========================================
2.17.2 Stuff:
- Add ConsoleKit support. This is a new feature and not tested. If you
find that GDM does not allow you to log in, try using the configure
option --with-console-kit=no to turn this feature off. This feature
turns on GDM notification of session open, close and lock events via
D-Bus. (William Jon McCann)
- Added warnings when no themes are selected in "Random Theme Mode".
Disable the delete button on Random theme mode for the theme that
is selected in "single theme mode". (Lukasz Zalewski)
- Fix custom lists so that focus does not leave the username/password
entry field. (Brian Cameron)
- Add new languages to the locale list. (Peter Nugent)
- Translation updates (Priit Laes, Christophe Merlet, Francisco Javier
F. Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Ilkka Tuohela)
2.17.1 Stuff:
- No longer crash if at-spi-registryd cannot be started.
(Ariel Rios)
- Now support customcommands in GDM configuration so that sysadmins
can specify custom commands to appear in the GDM GUI (in addition
to reboot/shutdown/etc.). Refer to the comments in the GDM
configuration file and documentation for details. Also support
new QUERY_CUSTOM_CMD_LABELS and QUERY_CUSTOM_CMD_NO_RESTART_STATUS
gdmflexiserver commands. (Lukasz Zalewski)
- Now support for "combo" style lists, and id values of "session"
and "language" are supported for displaying the session/language
lists as drop-down combos. (Brian Cameron). For example:
-
-
- Now OK/Start Again buttons are sensitive/insensitive in a more
sensible way for both gdmlogin and gdmgreeter (if GTK style buttons
are used in gdmgreeter). (Brian Cameron)
- Face Browser widget and background rectangle (for gdmgreeter)
is not shown if there are no users to display. (Brian Cameron)
- Help button now enabled in gdmphotosetup. (Matthias Clasen)
- Fix so that if timed user script returns an invalid user that
timed login is not turned on. (Andrew)
- Fix bug that was causing %t to be expanded improperly when
used in the timed login label. (Brian Cameron)
- Set authdir to NULL after freeing to avoid accessing an invalid
pointer. Fixes bug #359831. (Amnon Aaronsohn)
- Introduce altfile[n] property to cater for alternative image file
definition in gdmgreeter themes. (Erwann Chenede)
- Leaks fixed. (Kjartan Maraas)
- Documentation improvements. (Malcolm Parsons)
- Build improvements. (Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Dwayne Bailey, Luca Ferretti, Satoru SATOH, Jens Seidel,

NEWS: orca-2.17.2
========================================
2.17.2 - 05-Nov-2006
* Updates to requirements and specifications documents.
* Fair amount of work on Gecko.py script, though it is not at all ready
for compelling access to Firefox (and hence the web) yet. Also did

bugs against the AT-SPI implementation in progress in Firefox 3.
* Fix for bug 369292: gcalctool now speaks the new result when
the "=" button is activated.
* Fix for bug 337063: Orca now supports an alternate .orca location via
the -u and --user-prefs-dir command line options.

more concise information for check box items.
* For for bug 353422: Mapped vte application to gnome-terminal script and
also fixed the "backspace" problem in gnome-terminal.
* Workaround for bug 368626: prevent gnome-panel from crashing and add
some defensive code to work in the case where there is no event
source in an at-spi event.
* Fix for bug 338838: Orca now speaks "newline" only when moving by
character or word.

in "Users and groups" dialog of users-admin application.

(like the greater thans) on a line that also has text, Orca respects the
punctuation settings in Orca. But, if the repeated characters are on
a line by themselves (i.e. 30 greater thans, nothing else), Orca
indicates their presence ("30 greater than characters") regardless
of the level of punctuation.
