AOOH-GAH -------- If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.
The 2.20.1 release is a stable release of the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) program with the following bug fixes and improvements: - Now gdmlogin and gdmgreeter treat Tab like enter if the focus is on the entry field. This addresses usability issues as described in bug #433495. (Lo\357c Minier) - Fix bug that was causing the user's default language/session choices to not get saved properly if they didn't already have a $HOME/.dmrc file. (Brady Anderson) - Fix bug with XDMCP logic that was causing GDM to get confused about when the maximum number of XDMCP sessions has been reached. (Francis Giraldeau) - Fix an issue that was causing the username to be logged as a debug message when using GDM configured to use crypt or shadow passwords (instead of the default PAM). This could cause the user's password to get saved as a debug message if the user accidently typed their password into the username field when using crypt/shadow passwords. No longer translate debug messages in general. (Brian Cameron) - Set stdout/stderr to DEV_NULL when spawning at_spi_registryd and the prefetch program, fixing a hanging problem. (Huang Peng) - GDM now always sends the daemon a response before exit to avoid a hang. (Ray Strode) - Fix gdmXnestchooser and gdmsetup so debug isn't on by default. (Brian Cameron) - Updated the gdmgreeter themes so that they display correctly on 800x600 displays. (Dave Fincher) - Build/configure fixes for Solaris. (Brian Cameron) - Translation updates (Sunil Mohan Adapa, Gil Forcada, Duarte Loreto, S\303\255lvia Miranda, Ankit Patel, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Changwoo Ryu) Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <mkp mkp net>. Much work has been done on GDM2 by George Lebl; and Brian Cameron now currently shares maintainership duties with the Queen of England. Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will however save backups with the .orig extension first. #ifndef GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED Note3: Note3 has been depracated ... #endif /* GDM_DISABLE_DEPRECATED */ Downloading: ============ Online Documentation - http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ Latest Stable - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm/2.20/ Latest Unstable - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm/2.21/ Bug Reporting - http://bugzilla.gnome.org in the "gdm" category.
