including mobile broadband functionality, Phase2 WPA support, and static IP functionality.
NetworkManager would would cause a segmentation fault when resuming a session. This
was caused by the HAL dropping privileges before connecting to D-Bus, meaning that the
HAL could not send signals to NetworkManager. NetworkManager now explicitly permits
signals from the HAL.
sometimes, X would freeze if the NetworkManager menu and a keyring manager window
were open at the same time. This updated package includes a patch from upstream that
prevents this behavior.
if NetworkManager requires a network key from the user, it will open a pop-up window.
However, the applet previously could not steal focus from metacity and would remain in the
background. The window was therefore not obvious to the user. The applet now opens in
the foreground, alerting the user to take action.
when resuming, NetworkManager could sometimes re-establish a wireless connection, but
not a route. A fix for this problem from upstream has been included in this update.
NetworkManager did not previously support Cisco Airo Wi-Fi cards, as these devices did not
respond to NetworkManager's attempts to detect them. NetworkManager can now detect
and use these cards.
the NetworkManager applet would wake up and redraw its icon once per second, even when
NetworkManager was not active. Now, the applet will not wake up unless NetworkManager is
running.
NetworkManager 0.7 connects faster than libnotify can provide a notification bubble. When
this happens, the bubble will appear at the top left corner of the screen, rather than under
the taskbar. NetworkManager notification bubbles are now delayed for a few seconds,
allowing libnotify to react.
dbus-glib re-base
The dbus-glib integration library has been re-based to version 0.73.8 This update provides
support to updated versions of NetworkManager and also implements the following bugfix and
enhancements
cleanup of the DBusGProxy objects treated pending remote method calls incorrectly and
may have resulted in freeing invalid memory. Consequently, processes using DBusGProxy
objects may have crashed when the DBusGProxy object was freed. With this update dbus-
glib correctly handles the destruction of DBusGProxy objects, resolving this issue.
two new function calls, dbus_g_proxy_call_with_tim eout and
dbus_g_proxy_begin_call_with_tim eout, have been added to dbus-glib providing
the ability to specify a timeout when making a request to a remote service.
dbus-binding-tool now ignores namespaced Extensible Markup Language (XML) nodes
when processing introspection definition files.
Sudo Aktualisierung
sudo wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf Upstream Version 1.6.9. Diese Version von sudo
unterstützt nun LDAP, und ermöglicht das Suchen nach sudo-Rechten auch im Unterbaum,
statt nur der Basis-Suche (d.h. nur Baum-Ebene). Dies ermöglicht es Administratoren, sudo-
Rechte in einem Baum zu kategorisieren, was wiederum die Handhabung der
Benutzerprivilegien vereinfacht.
