Security enhancement: added support for encrypting communications between qingy and its user interface, triggered by new ./configure option: --enable-crypto, enabled by default.

-

Security enhancement: Overwrite memory areas containing sensitive user info before quitting...

-

Security fix: now authentication data is passed between qingy and its GUI trough a securely created temp file.

-

A drop-down mouse menu for sessions has been implemented.

-

Added customizable keybindings support.

-

Because of the above, removed old powerkeys support

-

Fixed a rather obscure bug in which login could fail even if username and password were correct

-

Added new setting in theme file, native_resolution, which lets you specify the screen resolution the theme was crafted for. This way, when qingy encounters a resolution different than this one, it will scale all graphic elements so that they look the same on all resolutions.
Note that this requires updating existing themes!

-

Added two new font sizes that can be used in theme files: smaller and tiny.

-

Updated handling of utmp/wtmp logging so that chrootkit no longer finds deletions in the latter when user logs out.

-

Brought tty guardian to a nearly completed state: now it checks the tty you came from; if you were logged in as root or as same user on the destination tty, it lets you pass, otherwise it will ask you to enter either destination user or root password. If authentication fails, it will send you back to the tty you came from. It also remembers the last user who successfully authenticated, so that he will not have to authenticate again every time he switches to the guarded tty (but if you switch to a tty owned by a third user and go back, authentication will be asked again). The only drawback is that if you come from an X session in which you are logged in as root, it will ask you to authenticate, because that situation can not (yet) be distinguished from when you come from an unused tty (which is owned by root as well)...

-

Fixed a number of tty guardian related bugs.

-

Other small fixes and clean-ups.

-

Finally the code behind the sleep button has been implemented: just set up the sleep variable in config file to the command you would like to execute for sleep mode, and press the button in qingy...

-

Now the directory qingy uses to store its temporary files can be customized

-

Added support for automatically logging in a user when the machine powers up

-

Unset the DISPLAY env variable when starting a text mode session, in case PAM provided a (wrong) one to us anyway.

-

Added support for passing user-defined arguments to the X server. To enhance security, as a default we also pass -nolisten tcp...

-

Added optimizations for AMD Athlon64 processors

-

Fixed support for shadow passwords authentication

-

Fix stuff so that qingy links correctly against the PAM library when compiled as a static binary.

-

Session files containing spaces are now supported

-

Reworked qingy PAM module to make it work with more distros (tested on Fedora, Debian, Gentoo)

-

Added support for retries setting in config file which allows user to specify how many times qingy should try to bring its gui up before reverting to text mode...
