This file lists notable changes in each release. For the full history of all

changes, see ChangeLog.

Version 1.90.9:

Highlights:

 - Fix multiple daemon lockup issues (#97)

 - Fix print garbage collection to not delete used prints

 - pam: Use the device with the most prints

Version 1.90.8:

It seems that we are finally reaching the end of the tunnel with regard

to regressions. One more issue that cropped up was that a pam_fprintd fix

to avoid a possible authentication bypass caused issues when fprintd was

just started on demand.

Highlights:

 - pam: Only listen to NameOwnerChanged after fprintd is known to run (#94)

 - Place new ObjectManager DBus API at /net/reactivated/Fprint

Version 1.90.7:

While 1.90.6 fixed a number of issues, we did have a bad regression due

causing pam_fprintd to crash when there are no fingerprint devices

installed.

Highlights:

 - pam: Guard strdup calls against NULL pointers

Version 1.90.6:

The 1.90.5 release was unusable due to a number of inter-related issues

with the DBus interface and authorization. We also found a number of

problems with possible security implications.

Currently fprintd will do interactive authorization even if this was not

requested using the correct DBus method call flag. All API users MUST be

updated to set the flag as it will be enabled in the future!

Highlights:

 - Fix fprintd DBus configuration

 - Change details of what requires authorization

 - Fix various race conditions in pam_fprintd

 - Permit interactive authorization from fprintd utilities

 - Do not allow deletion while another operation is ongoing

Version 1.90.5:

The 1.90.4 release contained some bad errors, this release addresses those.

Highlights:

 - Permit building with polkit older than 0.114

 - Fix possible issues with PAM test

 - Fix incorrect DBus policy

 - Fix build so that CFLAGS enviroment is correctly used

 - Skip hotplug test with older libfprint (which times out otherwise)

Version 1.90.4:

This fprintd release contains major core reworkings and improved testing.

As such, only the most important changes are listed here, focusing on

changes relevant to distributors.

Highlights:

 - Authentication is now required to enroll a new print (#5)

 - Add support for the libfprint early reporting mechanism

 - Proper hotplug support together with libfprint 1.90.4

 - Handle STATE_DIRECTORY containing multiple paths

version 1.90.1:

- Add support for prints saved on the fingerprint device itself

- Add integration tests using the virtual image driver, and further

  tests for the utilities

- Port build system to meson

- Loads of build warnings and memory leak fixes

- PAM module:

  - Port PAM module to sd-bus from dbus-glib

  - Use systemd to not ask for a fingerprint scan on remote logins

  - Add man page for PAM module

  - Add tests
