83
** Takes new --foreground option
84

146
for disabled clients correctly.

Version 1.4.0 (2011-10-09)
150

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
156
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
157
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
158
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
159
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
160
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
161
see DBUS-API for details.
