Hey,
Here we go again with a new PolicyKit release
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/polkit-0.91/
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/polkit-0.91/docs/
Lots of bug fixes and new features this release; major highlights
- parallel builds should work
- plug-in architecture landed
- a null backend
- authentication agent helper library completely reworked
- almost 100% doc coverage; including docs for the D-Bus interfaces
- configuration file to control what administrator authentication
means, see /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/50-localauthority.conf
for details
The next release will focus on porting the remaining bits of
PolicyKit-gnome (which will probably mean changes to the Authority
structure and the AuthorityManager D-Bus interface) and factoring out
some general utilities from the local authority backend (the FreeIPA
people have requested this).
There's still a few rough edges; same disclaimers as for 0.90 applies.
Also note that PolicyKit-gnome has now moved to git.gnome.org
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/PolicyKit-gnome/
Thanks,
David
