Hi list The SDDM team is proud to announce the 0.9.0 release of the Simple Desktop Display Manager. This release is possible thanks to the collaborative work of the Maui Project, KDE and LXDE, as well as the help and contributions from dozens of other developers.
SDDM is the recommended display manager for LXQt. It features full Qt 5 compatibility for use in the Qt5 version of LXQt. Release highlights: * Several systemd, logind and journald improvements. Note that systemd is not required to run SDDM. * The SDDM greeter now runs as its own user and group, instead of root. * Support for setting the keyboard layout from the greeter. * An "AutoUser" config key to configure automatic login. * A "NumLock" config key to configure NumLock state at boot. * Overhauled configuration file handling. * SDDM runs with the default configuration without /etc/sddm.conf * Initial (albeit not fully functional) Plymouth support. * Translations in 11 languages. * Several licensing and packaging improvements. * Better documentation, including man pages for sddm(1), sddm-greeter(1), sddm.conf(5) and sddm-state.conf(5). Changes since 0.9.0-rc1: * Better session listing. Failsafe will no longer be selected by default. * Fix running SDDM under a Plasma 5.0 desktop. * Various bug fixes For a full list of changes, see our CHANGELOG file: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/v0.9.0/ChangeLog The /etc/sddm.conf configuration file is not shipped anymore. SDDM now runs with the default configuration without /etc/sddm.conf Users can override default settings providing their own /etc/sddm.conf, but the format has changed since the previous release. See sddm.conf(5) for more information. This release also moves SDDM from alpha to beta status. It has been battle-tested in several production machines and we are looking forward to fixing any remaining issues with it.
