10. By Martin Pitt on 2010-04-09

* Urgency medium, just two small, but important bug fixes.
* Add 00git-pkexec-information-disclosure.patch: Fix information disclosure
  vulnerability that allows an attacker to verify whether or not arbitrary
  files exist, violating directory permissions.
* 00git-fix-error-freeing.patch: Fix crash when calling CheckAuthorization()
  with an invalid PID. (LP: #540464)

9. By Michael Biebl on 2010-01-16

* New upstream release.
* debian/libpolkit-backend-1-0.symbols
  - Update for new API addition.

8. By Michael Biebl on 2009-11-14

* New upstream release.
* Remove patches
  - debian/patches/02_dont_export_private_symbols.patch (merged upstream)
  - debian/patches/03_path_max.patch (merged upstream)
  - debian/patches/04-ref-authority.patch (merged upstream)
  - debian/patches/05-pkexec-env.patch (merged upstream)
  - debian/patches/99_autoreconf.patch (obsolete)
* debian/control
  - Bump Build-Depends on libeggbus-1-dev to (>= 0.6).
* debian/rules
  - The example application is no longer built by default so we don't need
    to manually remove it anymore.
* debian/libpolkit-{backend,gobject}-1-0.symbols
  - Update for new API additions.

7. By Martin Pitt on 2009-11-03

* Add debian/patches/04-ref-authority.patch: Ref the instance returned by
  polkit_authority_get(), since the documentation says that it needs to be
  unref'ed after usage. This fixes crashes in NetworkManager and probably
  other programs, too. (LP: #438574, #432452, fd.o #24566)
* Add debian/patches/05-pkexec-env.patch: Add missing comma so that pkexec
  saves both LANG and LANGUAGE, not LANGLANGUAGE. (Cherrypicked from trunk)
* Add myself to Uploaders: with Michael's consent.

6. By Alexander Sack on 2009-10-16

* fix network-manager crashes when opening connection editor
  with system connections; crahes turned out to be caused by
  freed policy kit authority - fix involves propery reffing
  authority in singleton accessor (LP: #438574, #432452)
  - See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24566
  - add 03_0001-authority-g_object_ref-authority-when-returning-sing.patch

5. By Michael Biebl on 2009-09-27

* Rename package to policykit-1. Upstream (at least temporarily) forked
  the project to make it installable in parallel with policykit 0.9, until
  all programs are ported to the new API.
* Drop all patches except 01_pam_polkit.patch.
* Refresh debian/patches/01_pam_polkit.patch.
* debian/control
  - Update Build-Depends
    + Drop libdbus-1-dev, libdbus-glib-1-dev.
    + Add libeggdbus-1-dev (>= 0.5) and lsb-release.
    + Bump libglib2-dev dependency to (>= 2.21.4).
  - Update list of binary packages and their package descriptions.
  - Drop dependency on adduser.
  - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3.
    + Add README.source which refers to the quilt documentation.
  - Update Vcs-* fields. Package is now managed using Git and hosted on
    git.debian.org.
* Update shared library structure: libpolkit-{,dbus,grant} →
  libpolkit-{agent,backend,gobject}-1.
* Rename policykit, policykit-doc → policykit-1, policykit-1-doc.
* Update and revise all *.install files.
* debian/rules, debian/policykit.init: Drop init script, package doesn't use
  /var/run any more.
* debian/policykit-1.postinst: Don't create "polkituser" system user, it's
  not used any more.
* Update watch file.
* debian/patches/02_dont_export_private_symbols.patch
  - Don't export private symbols in the libraries.
* debian/patches/99_autoreconf.patch
  - Update the autotools files as the previous patch also touches the build
    system.
* Add symbols files for libpolkit-{agent,backend,gobject}-1 for improved
  shlibs dependencies.
* debian/rules
  - Disable introspection support.
  - When building for Ubuntu, install a localauthority.conf.d configuration
    file which considers "admin" group users as administrators.
  - Don't install example application.
* debian/copyright
  - Update copyright holder.
  - License was changed to LGPL 2.1+.

4. By Martin Pitt on 2009-08-26

Add proper shlibs files. Don't use symbols files, they are too complex
because of the egg-dbus-binding-tool clutter.
