System Tools Backends Version 2.5.2, 2007-11-12
-----------------------------------------------

The System Tools Backends version 2.5.2 "Drifting beyond all time" have been released.

The System Tools Backends are a set of cross-platform modules for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and other Unix systems. The backends provide an common DBus interface to all distros for modifying or reading the system configuration.

Right now the System Tools Backends fully support various distros/OS such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian (and derivations like Ubuntu, Linex, Guadalinex...), FreeBSD, Solaris, Gentoo, Slackware, OpenNA, PLD, Vine and Specifix.

Changes since last release
==========================

- Add an internal UserConfig module, this is accessible outside s-t-b as SelfConfig, to edit the requester user settings (garnacho)
- Compare internally users through login name instead of the exported ID (independent to UID), this will make a login change count as a user addition+removal, but will make the process more reliable, and will not have to count on having the other side implementing the right behavior. This is a behavior and format change, but given that the adoption of s-t-b isn't very wide, it's worth to do it now. (garnacho)
