> As most of you have realized we did a silent 2.4.1 release some time

> clue as to what changed between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1. It probably makes it
> easier to see what is new for the next release too :-)

> This is a quick collection of fixes, the gory details are in the

> Overview of Changes in GAIL 1.4.1
> =================================
> * Set role for accessible object for GtkMessageDialog to
ATK_ROLE_ALERT
> (bug #122551)
>
* Apply build fixes for Darwin (bug #1243343) [Jerry Talkington]
>
* Correct text length reported in text-changed signals emitted when
> label changes (bug #123696)
>
* Avoid emitting focus notification for out-of-process GtkSocket (bug
#120991)
>
* Fix documentation build (bug #123876) [Malcolm Tredennick]
>
* Report children of menu item correctly when menu item has a submenu
> whose menu items are created only when menu is shown (bug #120303)
>
* Report label change only if toplevel window is showing. (bug #123470)
>
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> gcalctool (4.3.3 -> 4.3.16)
>
> * Fixed bug 124377. Fixed rounding errors when the radix character for
a
>   locale isn't ".".
> * Online help updated for various recent (small) changes.
>
> * Fixed bug 124172. The "+" character on a German keyboard is on the
> lower level of a key (i.e. the Shift key doesn't need to be down).
Added
> another mask/keysym pair to the "+" entry to handle this.
>
> * Fixed bug 120737. Changed the accessible text for the OR button from
>   "Logical OR" to "logical OR" so that it's not changed by FreeTTS's
>
> * Fixed bug #123948. Removed the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag from
>   .../gcalctool/gcalctool/Makefile.am, to allow the depreciated
>   GtkItemFactory, to successfully build.
>
> * Fixed bug 123724. Hitting Esc now does the same as hitting
>   Control-Backspace; i.e. the CE (clear entry) functionality.
> * Updated the gcalctool man pages to reflect this change, and the
> changes for bug #118826.
>
> * Refixed bug 122373. gcalctool now uses nl_langinfo() to get the
> numeric point for the users locale, rather than via a localised
string.
>
> * Fixed enhancement #65806. Changed that label for e^x (e superscript
x)
> to use an italised "e".
>
> * Fixed bug 118826. The keyboard shortcuts for the six hex. digits are
>   now "A" to "F". The functions that previously used those letters
have
>   been reassigned to their lowercase equivalents.
>
> * Fixed bug 122408. The tooltips for the numeric buttons (0-9) have
been
>   removed as they are redundant.
>
> * Fixed bug 120749. When gcalctool is displaying a menu, typing
Alt+Tab
>   can no longer switch windows.
>
> * Fixed bug 120745 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120745)
>   Accessible names have now been added to each of the widgets in the
>   mode panel when in Scientific mode.
>
> * Fixed bug 122373. The decimal separator is now a translatable string
> so that other locales that don't use a period can adjust accordingly.
>
> * Fixed bug 120605. Gcalctool debug messages are no longer
translatable
> strings.

> 2.4.4.5 stuff:

> - Brown paper security bag: ~/.Xauthority could be left readable

>
> - gecos info (face browser user name) didn't get through if non-utf8

> 2.4.4.4 stuff:
>
> - SECURITY: Fixed CAN-2003-0793, a local DoS, the socket connection
>   is now non-blocking and limitted to the number of commands
>
> - SECURITY: Fixed CAN-2003-0794, a local DoS, the line length is
limited
> to 4096 bytes (note, this was not a buffer overrun).
>
>   (Thanks to Jarno Gassenbauer for pointing out the above two
problems)

> - Avoid possible DoS by using "-audit 0" for the X server command line

          - When cookies are in the fallback dir touch them every
>   12 hours to avoid tmpwatch from removing them
>                                                                       
          - Add config key NeverPlaceCookiesOnNFS to allow

          - Graphical greeter now graphically complains if it can't
>   load a theme rather then plainly failing.
>                                                                       
          - Go shell quoting crazy (fixes among others rh #105858,
>   but none of the issues were actually security problems,
>   "annoying" on really weird configs at most)
>                                                                       
          - Some more anality with touching user owned files
>                                                                       
          - Fixed the graphical greeter line breaking to not upset

>                                                                       
          - Fix an underlining bug in the graphical greeter when the
underlined letter is the last letter. (discussed in rh #106189)
>

          - The graphical greeter now wraps text correctly (and
>   all text).  Plus you can insert \n in the welcome text
>   now too (it worked for gdmlogin before) Fixes #123017
>                                                                       
          - The entry type in the graphical greeter listens to

>   the normal state) (Anton Altaparmakov, me)
>                                                                       
          - Tweak fontsizes in the default themes to be smaller.  For
>   some reason they very suddenly very huge.
>                                                                       
          - Further memory savings in the graphical greeter (though
>   it may be offset by the new wrapping code which is quite
>   large :)
>                                                                       
          - Another security audit, but no new security holes found,

>

          - Fix the session setup to be both back-compatible and
>   fully KDM (kde 3.2) compatible, among others:
>   - SessionDesktopDir is now a path
>   - Change 'Default' to 'default'
>   - Honour TryExec correctly

          - Use the a11y modules for the chooser as well as the
