38

Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
69
** Takes new --foreground option
70

72

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
142
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
143
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
144
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
145
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
