+xdm (1:1.1.8-2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ This version has XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 cookies disabled. While this
+ fixes a couple of problems, there is a problem with left over cookies
+ in users' .Xauthority files.
+ Usually XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 cookies from users' .Xauthority files
+ are removed when logging out. If they are still there when installing
+ this version, then this user will not be able to log in again until
+ removing those cookies from .Xauthority using xauth(1) or deleting the
+ whole .Xauthority file. (Do not do this while logged in. No application
+ will be able to connect to the X server after that.)

xdm (1:1.1.6-4) unstable; urgency=low
- * As many other display managers, xdm does not pass -dpi 100 to the
- X server anymore. xserver-xorg-core now uses 96 instead of 75 by
- default, it should be fine for most people.
- In case of problem, the DisplaySize option be used in the Monitor
- section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to force another DPI. If you
- have multiple RandR 1.2 outputs, DisplaySize should be specified
- in each Monitor section.
