The "St. Pancreas" release, on the stable branch. All of these fixes will also
be in 5.3.0 when that release happens.

This release fixes a security bug reported today in which account data files
(including passwords etc.) had incorrect permissions. Upgrading is highly
recommended.

Tarball:

Signature:

The latest reviewed code is always available from:
git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/telepathy-mission-control.git
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=telepathy-mission-control.git (gitweb)

Enhancements:

* Better debug output under various circumstances, including outputting the
  version number on startup (smcv)

* Add the concept of always-on accounts, which can't be disabled or otherwise
  put offline (smcv)

* Try to set initial presence before calling Connect (smcv)

Fixes:

* fd.o #23778: make sure account details (including passwords) are stored in
  directories readable only by the user. Distributions wanting this fix
  without any other changes should cherry-pick git commits 16c55625,
  2a42ac03, c16f40ec and 3558c3b2 (smcv)

* Replace deprecated g_strcasecmp with g_ascii_strcasecmp (Jonh Wendell)

* Don't close old-style Tubes channels if they can't be dispatched, since
  that closes the new-style StreamTube/DBusTube channels that everyone
  should be using, as a side-effect (smcv)

Regards,
    Simon
