Overview of changes in lightdm 1.19.2
* Add support for greeters running inside sessions. This is enabled by
setting X-LightDM-Allow-Greeter inside the session .desktop file.
The session can then use liblightdm to connect one greeter to the
daemon. The communication is done using a socket
(/var/run/lightdm/<user>/greeter-socket) that is accessible to any
process run by that user. Consider controlling access to this socket
using a MAC system such as AppArmor.
* Report errors for all liblightdm methods. This will require existing
greeters to update their API usage. The ABI is unchanged.
* Handle EAGAIN correctly when daemons communicate with the daemon.
* Drop support for mir-container sessions - no-one ever used these.
