Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
88
** Takes new --foreground option
89

163
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
164
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
165

200
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
201

202
password is received from the specified server.
