Instead, kde.desktop + contains a full pathname and starttde fixes up PATH if necessary. + * The default Xsession will emulate the startup behaviour of more + shells, in particular bash, zsh and csh/tcsh. + * Setting up the session log is now done by tdm, not the Session + script; option ClientLogFile. + +2004-01-25 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Add support for specifying groups in SelectedUsers, HiddenUsers and + NoPassUsers. Prefix group names with a @. + +2003-12-17 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * XDMCP initiated local displays are now treated as remote displays + (on localhost) by the config reader. + +2003-11-09 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Sanitized display restart behaviour; option StartInterval is gone. + +2003-11-04 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Conversation plugins can be configured now; option PluginOptions. + * The "Restart X Server"/"Close Connection" action can be configured + away; option AllowClose. + * The "Console Login" action can be configured away without touching + Xservers; option AllowConsole. + +2003-10-27 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * TDM now complies with the input model of PAM. The greeter has an + interface for conversation plugins, so alternative authentication + mechanisms can be handled; options PluginsLogin & PluginsShutdown. + * Password-less and automatic logins now use a separate PAM service + (${TDM_PAM_SERVICE}-np). + +2003-10-17 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Add --with-tdm-xconsole configure switch. No need to patch + Makefile.am to enable the built-in xconsole anymore. + +2003-09-23 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Session types are now defined with .desktop files; consequently the + SessionTypes option is gone and we got SessionsDirs instead. + * The default Xsession now hard-wires the session types + - "default" to starttde + - "custom" to ~/.xsession + * The previous session type choice is now saved in a different file + (~/.dmrc) in a different format (ini-file); the SessSaveFile option + is gone. Optionally TDM can be configured to store all .dmrc files + in a common directory (option DmrcDir); this can be useful for AFS + based installations. + * The location of the administratively set user faces is now specified + by the FaceDir option and the pictures have a .face.icon extension + (or .face for "natural" images, possibly photos). + + The spec for the above changes is shared with GDM, so packagers should + choose common directories. + + * The tdmsts file moved to /var/lib/tdm by default; option DataDir. + * Nuked the AutoLoginSession option; i don't think it was useful at all + and it can be emulated anyway. + +2003-09-03 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Add option RandomDevice to override the OS specific default + entropy source. + +2003-08-26 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Add random seed to forged "previous" session type calculation; + option ForgingSeed. + +2003-07-15 Malte Starostik <malte@kde.org> + + * ColorScheme is now interpreted as the base name of the .kcsrc file, + not the contents of its Name field. + +2003-05-11 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * GUIStyle & ColorScheme now accept an empty string, meaning + "built-in default". Made defaults empty, consequently. + +2002-12-01 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Integrated chooser into greeter; external 'chooser' executable + and the Chooser option are gone. + * The chooser can be started locally (without an XDMCP query); + options LoginMode and ChooserHosts. + * Added built-in xconsole to greeter; options ShowLog and LogSource. + This code is not built by default; uncomment the first three lines + in kfrontend/Makefile.am to enable it. + * The DaemonMode option is gone. The command line switches -daemon and + -nodaemon still exist, but are mostly unnecessary, as TDM can decide + what to do based on the parent process ID. + * The AutoLogin option and the -autolog/-noautolog switches are gone. + * The AutoLogin1st option is gone. + * The position of the -debug and -logfile command line options is + irrelevant again. The -xrm option is back, but is ignored by the + KDE frontend. + +2002-08-28 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Made it possible to specify the color scheme for the greeter; + option ColorScheme + +2002-08-10 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Renamed tdmdesktop to krootimage, moved it back into the TDM source + tree, and changed its command line + * krootimage will be automatically invoked by the greeter by default; + option UseBackground + * Chucked out the [Desktop0] section from tdmrc. Instead, the + location of the config file containing such a section is specified + with the BackgroundRc option. + * User images can now be optionally fetched from the users's home + directories; option FaceSource + * The default of the KeyFile option is now empty again + * GreeterScreen now groks -2, meaning upper-right screen + +2002-08-06 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Automatically don't daemonize if started by init. + +2002-03-19 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * The default Xsession will emulate the startup behaviour of sh/ksh + by sourcing /etc/profile and ~/.profile. + +2002-03-10 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added InteractiveSd option. This is not really implemented yet, + so enabling it just makes TDM deny the existence of the shutdown + condition/timing options. + * The Setup script is now executed synchronously. Long-lasting + commands should be put in the background explicitly. + +2002-02-28 George Staikos <staikos@kde.org> + + * GreeterScreen now groks -1, meaning upper-left screen. + +2002-01-14 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added option NumLock {On,Off,Keep} to preset the NumLock modifier + state for the greeter + +2001-12-11 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added AntiAliasing option to disable antialiasing in the greeter + +2001-11-30 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added GreeterScreen option to put the greeter on a particular + screen in multi-headed setups. + * Changed the default of Language from "C" to "en_US" + +2001-11-22 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * The defaults of the options Xservers, Session, Setup, Startup, + Reset and PidFile are now back to the saner XDM defaults, + so TDM works even without config files. + * Changed option ShowUsers: All -> NotHidden + * Renamed the option Users to SelectedUsers and NoUsers to HiddenUsers. + * The GUIStyle option now groks all installed widget styles. + Note that Motif+ and KDE are now called MotifPlus resp. Default. + +2001-11-02 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added conditional/scheduled shutdown modes; options + DefaultSdMode and AllowSdForceNow; moved AllowShutdown from + [X-<dpy>-Greeter] to [X-<dpy>-Core]. + * Added reserve display support; extension to Xservers. + * Added command FiFo support (see README); options FifoDir, + FifoGroup, [ShutDown]/AllowFifo, and [ShutDown]/AllowFifoNow. + FiFo location and capabilities are exported in $XDM_MANAGED. + +2001-10-04 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Xauth files are now created in AuthDir, not AuthDir/authdir. + Changed AuthDir default to /var/run/xauth. + +2001-07-12 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Renamed the option Xwilling to Willing + * The RandomFile option is not recognized on Linux and OpenBSD any + longer, as they have better entropy sources + +2001-07-10 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added the tool 'gentdmconf'. It's supposed to create a suitable + configuration for TDM during 'make install' by merging new defaults + with a previous XDM/TDM config (if any is found). + +2001-07-03 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Added counterpart to the MinShowUID option: MaxShowUID + +2001-06-23 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Xauth files are now created in AuthDir/authfiles, not + AuthDir/authdir/authfiles + +2001-06-16 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Optionally put the cursor right in the "Password" field when + a user is preselected in the "Login" field; option FocusPasswd + +2001-06-15 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * Replaced the ShutdownButton + ShutdownNeedsRoot option pair with + the AllowShutdown {None,Root,All} option + +2001-06-10 Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> + + * The source directory structure changed entirely + * The argument to the -debug command line option is now a bit field; + the DebugLevel resource is gone + * The ErrorLogFile resource is gone + * The greeter module libKdmGreet.so has been converted to an + executable named tdm_greet; the external config parser is now + named tdm_config. The resource GreeterLib and the command line + option -getcfg (and -cfg2get) are gone, as the locations of the + config parser and greeter are derived from the location of the + tdm executable + * The config files are all located in ${kde_confdir}/tdm now; the + defaults for Setup & Session were adapted to this. + * The keys in tdmrc were reorganized: + - [TDM]/ShutdownButton -> [X-<dpy>-Greeter]/(ShutdownButton & + ShutdownNeedsRoot) + - [TDM]/Shutdown -> [Shutdown]/HaltCmd + - [TDM]/Restart -> [Shutdown]/RebootCmd + - [TDM]/LogoArea -> [X-*-Greeter]/ {None,Logo,Clock} + - remaining keys from [TDM] -> [X-*-Greeter]/ + - [Lilo]/Lilo -> [Shutdown]/UseLilo + - [Lilo]/LiloCommand -> [Shutdown]/LiloCmd + - [Lilo]/LiloMap -> [Shutdown]/ + - [Locale]/Language -> [X-*-Greeter]/ (Country key dropped) + * TDM will no longer use tdm-config; most of its resources were + absorbed into tdmrc: + - Servers -> [General]/Xservers + - RequestPort -> [Xdmcp]/(Port & Enable) + - DaemonMode -> [General]/ + - PidFile -> [General]/ + - LockPidFile -> [General]/ + - AuthDir -> [General]/ + - AutoRescan -> [General]/ + - RemoveDomainname -> [Xdmcp]/ + - KeyFile -> [Xdmcp]/ + - AccessFile -> [Xdmcp]/Xaccess/ + - ExportList -> [General]/ + - RandomFile -> [General]/ + - ChoiceTimeout -> [Xdmcp]/ + - SourceAddress -> [Xdmcp]/ + - Willing -> [Xdmcp]/Xwilling + - AutoLogin -> [General]/ + - GrabServer -> [X-<dpy>-Greeter]/ + - GrabTimeout -> [X-<dpy>-Greeter]/ + - AuthComplain -> [X-<dpy>-Greeter]/ + - AuthName -> [X-<dpy>-Core]/AuthNames + - NoPassUsers -> [X-<dpy>-Core]/ & [X-<dpy>-Core]/NoPassEnable + - AutoUser -> [X-<dpy>-Core]/(AutoLoginUser & AutoLoginEnable) + - AutoPass -> [X-<dpy>-Core]/AutoLoginPass + - AutoString -> [X-<dpy>-Core]/AutoLoginSession + - remaining server & session resources -> [X-<dpy>-Core]/ + * In GreetString the HOSTNAME substitution was replaced with the + %%, %d, %h, %n, %s, %r & %m expandos + * EchoMode does not understand "NoStars" any more.
