Hey,

Here's a couple of new releases

 http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/polkit-0.101.tar.gz
 http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/polkit-gnome-0.101.tar.bz2

Good amount of of bug-fixes in these releases and then there's also
the deprecation of the PolkitBackendActionLookup interface - see this
commit message for how to transition to the replacement interface

 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/PolicyKit/commit/?id=02cebdb060e76e6d176f05ef24968e6d17225edb

Applications using PolkitBackendActionLookup will continue to build
(with deprecation warnings) but the code won't be used. The
PolkitBackendActionLookup interfaces will be removed at some point
before 1.0 so please port your code to new interfaces to avoid compile
errors when these interfaces are no longer available.
