System Tools Backends Version 2.9.0, 2010-01-11
-----------------------------------------------
The System Tools Backends version 2.9.0 "Once Again" have been released.
This development release is incompatible with the previous 2.8 series.
Changes since last release
==========================
- New users and groups protocol. This includes many changes,
notably:
* Ability to commit users and groups individually (preferred
method), to avoid destroying the system when severe bugs occur.
* Password received in clear text, so that they are changed
using the standard PAM stack (this fixes problems with keyrings,
encrypted folders, and new encryption methods)
* New fields: whether home should be removed when deleting user,
or chown to user when created; whether to disable password; encrypt home
directory; locale and location (for future extensions).
* When creating users, leaving some fields empty allows the
platform tools to choose defaults, and the filled structure is sent as a
reply.
* UIDs and GIDs are now uint32, to work with all of our
platforms.
- Fixed error reporting when running external commands.
