polkit 0.98

[David Zeuthen]

Hey,

Here's a new polkit release fixing a new bugs in 0.97. You may download it from

 http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/polkit-0.98.tar.gz

There's also a new "textual authentication agent" feature in this
release. In a nutshell, it means that pkexec(1) and pkcheck(1) can now
easily be used in environments where no desktop session has registered
an authentication agent (e.g. 'su -' and ssh(1) sessions).

There's no new polkit-gnome release this time.

Enjoy!

Thanks,
David
