Overview of changes in lightdm 1.19.3

    * Fix in-session greeters not working for greeter logins

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.19.2

    * Add support for greeters running inside sessions. This is enabled by
      setting X-LightDM-Allow-Greeter inside the session .desktop file.
      The session can then use liblightdm to connect one greeter to the
      daemon. The communication is done using a socket
      (/var/run/lightdm/<user>/greeter-socket) that is accessible to any
      process run by that user. Consider controlling access to this socket
      using a MAC system such as AppArmor.
    * Report errors for all liblightdm methods. This will require existing
      greeters to update their API usage. The ABI is unchanged.
    * Handle EAGAIN correctly when daemons communicate with the daemon.
    * Drop support for mir-container sessions - no-one ever used these.

      but report a warning.

      socket to sessions. This used to work but no longer works in Mir 0.21

      option
    * Use only a single compositor on local seats
    * Fix Mir greeter log filename having "(null)" in the name

      LC_IDENTIFICATION variables to the list of inherited locale variables.
    * Implement XDMCP ForwardQuery.
    * Fix small memory leak in XDMCP logging code.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.15.2

    * Support Wayland sessions.
    * Implement autologin-session option.    
    * Generate Vala bindings from GIR instead of manually writing them. This
      fixes some small bugs in both the Vala and GIR bindings.
    * Don't remove autotools generated files in distclean. 

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.15.1

    * Fix default X server command set to XMir in 1.15.0.
    * Internally merge the [SeatDefaults] and [Seat:*] sections together. The
      previous method meant configuration snippets using a mix of old and new

    * Support active session changing via logind.
    * Don't allow liblightdm-gobject to be disabled. It is required for

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.11.9

    * Handle CanGraphical property on logind seats

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.11.7

    * Use logind to provide the list of seats to use. Deprecate the old method
      of manually defining seats.
    * Add --show-config option that shows combined configuration.
    * Drop the surfaceflinger seat type. This was a temporary solution while
      Ubuntu Phone was migrating to Mir.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.11.6

    * Add a seat option 'allow-user-switching' that can disable all user
      switching for that seat
    * Add a new session type 'mir-container' that allows the session to run
      inside a custom system compositor

    * Fix log name for Mir display servers
    * Fix double removal of source IDs

    * Update AppArmor scripts to work in Ubuntu 13.10.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.9.1

    * Correctly set $XDG_SESSION_CLASS for greeters. This was regressed in 1.7.5
      for ConsoleKit and was never passed to logind. logind/ConsoleKit treat
      greeter sessions without this set as user sessions. This causes greeters
      to show the lightdm user able to be logged in with.
    * Set $USER when running the session-setup-script. This is a regression from
      1.7.5.
    * Fix notification of sessions being logged out. This is a regression from

      fixes bugs where some properties wouldn't be updated when they changed in
      accounts service.

      "display-stopped-script" field allows us to run a script right after
      stopping the display server.
    * Allow dm-tool to run outside of a session if it doesn't need to be.
    * Set $MIR_SERVER_NAME to assign a name to launched sessions. Also use a
      "greeter-" prefix for greeter sessions for the benefit of
      unity-system-compositor.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.9.0

    * Fix crash when starting with existing X servers. This was introduced in

        all seats, and can override each setting in a per seat configuration.
      - Default seats are now specified using a [Seat:<name>] section.  If no seats
        are specified then one is started.  This can be overridden by setting
        start-default-seat=false in [LightDM].
      - Support setting autologin user to guest account
      - Split the user accounts configuration into /etc/lightdm/users.conf so the
        main config can be private.

        symlink to their chosen default or set one in lightdm.conf.

        completion.
      - start_session() is now called start_session_sync and blocks until
        completion. The quit signal is removed, and the greeter should quit if
        this method returns TRUE.
      - login() is now called authenticate()
      - Greeters now have hints instead of configuration (greeters should load their
        own configuration from /etc/lightdm if they need it).
      - liblightdm-gobject uses AccountsService if it is available
      - Added regression tests for liblightdm-qt
    * D-Bus API changes:
      - Expose Seats and Sessions on org.freedesktop.DisplayManager
      - Add a CanSwitch property
      - Rename ShowGreeter() to SwitchToGreeter()
    * Greeter changes:
      - Drop "example" from the name of the GTK+ and Qt greeters and make them
        official default greeters.
      - Use GTK3 for GTK+ greeter.

        maintained.

    * When using system authority the authority can be updated by the user.
    * Written X authority files now checks hostname and display number.
    * Enironment is no longer passed through to X servers and sessions, this is
      no longer required now PAM works correctly.

        work well.

    * Configuration changes:
      - Use /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf instead of /etc/lightdm.conf
