-----------------------------------------------
The System Tools Backends version 2.9.0 "Once Again" have been released. This development release is incompatible with the previous 2.8 series.
Changes since last release
==========================
- New users and groups protocol. This includes many changes, notably:
* Ability to commit users and groups individually (preferred method), to avoid destroying the system when severe bugs occur.
* Password received in clear text, so that they are changed using the standard PAM stack (this fixes problems with keyrings, encrypted folders, and new encryption methods)
* New fields: whether home should be removed when deleting user, or chown to user when created; whether to disable password; encrypt home directory; locale and location (for future extensions).
* When creating users, leaving some fields empty allows the platform tools to choose defaults, and the filled structure is sent as a reply.
* UIDs and GIDs are now uint32, to work with all of our platforms.
- Fixed error reporting when running external commands.

System Tools Backends Version 2.8.2, 2009-O9-29
-----------------------------------------------
The System Tools Backends version 2.8.2 "Don't mess with my arguments!" have been released.
Changes since last release
==========================
- Add compatibility with Upstart init system, used on the Debian platform. For now, this means only traditional scripts are handled; Upstart jobs are ignored and the stb won't conflict with them
- Don't daemonize on start by default; this fixes problems with D-Bus activation
- When starting external programs, call system() with argument as an arrays to avoid the shell messing with them. This notably fixes problems when users' Real Name field contains apostrophes (Bug 519273).
- Automatically set invalid service priorities to a default value of 50, instead of committing wrong data. This allows GUIs not to worry about this implementation detail if they don't mind.
- Remove useless versioning for Debian platform. All platforms should probably do the same to get things cleaner and less bug-prone.

This is a behavior and format change, but given that the adoption of s-t-b isn't very wide, it's worth to do it now. (garnacho)
