wdm-1.28 -- Mar 27 2005
	- problem with xdmcp not working properly if there's
	  ipv6 network packet was fixed
	  (thanks to Jennifer Elaan <jen@elaan.com>)
	- welsh translation added (by Kevin Donnelly <kevin@dotmon.com>)
	- several file-descriptor leaks were fixed

wdm-1.27 -- Feb 28 2004
	- french translation added (by Mathieu Roy <yeupou@gnu.org>)
	- SELinux support added (by Tom Vogt <tom@lemuria.org>)
	- some FreeBSD compatibility issue fixed
	- some minor bugs fixed
	- ExitLogin item removed from menu in wdmLogin by default.
	  to reenable it use --enable-exitlogin

wdm-1.26 -- Sep 18 2003 
	- more options in wdmLogin-config file
	- development of wdmPrefs and wdmChooser programs 
	  started.
	- en locale is now different from C locale. [that trick
	  allowed to remove last compile-time warning]
	- wdm now compiles with -Wall -Werror. :)
	- install target of Makefile.in fixed
	- daemon mode works again
	- fixed problem with wdm not reacting to signals sent
	  to process with pid written to pid file.
	- spanish translation added
	  (by Manolo Padron Martinez <manolopm@cip.es>)
	- czech translation added
	  (by Vladimir Nadvornik <nadvornik@suse.cz>)
	- parts of code dealing with streams (-DSTREAMSCONN)
	  DECnet (-DDNETCONN) and Chaos was completely removed
	  from wdm sources. More unused code will be removed later
	- xdm source tree removed from wdm tarball.
	- fixed problem with pam (same as in kdm)

wdm-1.25 -- Jun 06 2003
	- removed call to wstrndup function, that appeared only
	  in post 0.80.1 cvs snapshots.
	- fixed bug in Makefile.in, that caused generation of .mo files
	  even without msgfmt program.
	- added workaround for bug in libfontconfig, which caused wdmLogin
	  to crash.
	- added geometry option for wdmLogin. It was placed in wdmLogin-config
	  file. see INSTALL for more info.
	- added support for antialiaesed fonts. New options was placed
	  in wdmLogin-config file.
	
	Note two new options for configure script: --with-fakeroot and
	--enable-aafont.

	If you enable antialiased fonts, then expect first run to be very
	long. That's because fontconfig will build cache of fonts.
	  
wdm-1.24 -- Jun 01 2003
	- pixmaps have been moved to /usr/share/pixmaps/wdm by default.
	  You can always specify other locations with --with-gfxdir option
	  to configure script (patch by Julio Merino <jmmv@menta.net>)
	- logging functions rewritten. it is now possible to redirect
	  all messages from wdm to syslog or to file.
	- option to select on which display login panel will appear
	  when using xinerama
	  (with help from Carlos Torres <vlaadbrain@operamail.com>).
	- configure.ac rewritten. It may stop working on some systems.
	  Report me if you have such system. All graphics format
	  detection code removed. wdm never uses this libraries directly
	  only via libwraster.
	- added basic support for xcursor_themes (for XFree86 4.3.0,
	  see description of wdmCursorTheme resource in wdm man page).
	- translations fixed. now all "... failed" messages displayed
	  correctly.

wdm-1.23 -- Mar 31 2003
	- ChangeLog is now generated from repository history.
	  Old ChangeLog is saved as ChangeLog.old.
	- man page fixed. There was references to xdm everywhere. :)
	- default help message translated.
	- started process of separation wdmLogin configuration file
	  from wdm configuration file.
	- lots of internal improvements in wdmLogin.
	- german translation added
	  (by Michael Buesch <freesoftwaredeveloper@web.de>)
	- fixes for animations in wdmLogin
	  (by Michael Buesch <freesoftwaredeveloper@web.de>)
	
	There's traces of ongoing development like libwdm. It's not
	used now in any sources, but will be used in some of future
	versions.

wdm-1.22.1 -- Feb 20 2003
	There was a bug. I forgot to change pam service name
	from xdm to wdm. This release fixes it.
	
wdm-1.22 -- Feb 09 2003
	- xdm-base upgraded to xdm from XFree86-4.2.1.
	- wdmLogin translated to russian and japanese.
	Now, what will be in next releases:
	- compatibility with ancient versions of WINGs
	  will be dropped.
	- configuration files will be changed to PropList
	  format (If you want to arue, mail me or chat with me at
	  #wdm on irc.ornet.ru, or #windowmaker on irc.freenode.net)
	- wdm <-> wdmLogin protocol will be changed to implement
	  better PAM support.

wdm-1.21 -- Jan 07 2003
	- development started again. This release collects almost
	  all patches I can find on net. If you have more patches
	  please send them.
	- directories rearranged, build system rewritten (see
	  README.voins for explanations).
	- everything is ready to start migration to newer xdm base.
	
wdm-1.20 -- Feb 29 2000
	- a problem which forbid for some wdm's resources to be set
	  differently for multiple displays was corrected.
	- a problem with incorrect user permissions being set on
	  devices (e.g. mixer) was corrected by replacing some
	  xdm-3.3.2 code with xdm-3.3.6. I think all the xdm stuff
	  definitely should be updated to the latest version.
	- a problem with random wdm hangs under at least FreeBSD
	  was corrected.
	- more detailed installation instructions are given for
	  Linux systems. Feel free to send anything useful for other systems.
	- some messages weren't centered one to each other on the login panel,
	  this looked ugly.

wdm-1.19 -- Sep 21 1999
	- a security problem was present when using the default
	  username and password: they were passed in clear on wdmLogin's
	  command line whenever wdm launched wdmLogin. Now wdm reads them
	  as before, but uses them internally instead of passing them
	  to wdmLogin which passed them back to wdm: it was stupid
	  and was a big security hole, so it's corrected now. ENJOY.
	- a Makefile problem caused wdm-login to not be created at all.
	  This problem was only noticed by new users. It works fine now.

wdm-1.18 -- Sep 16 1999
	- a problem about login name length was corrected
	- a default username / default password can now be
	  set in wdm-config. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND
	  WITH A VERY RESTRICTED ACCOUNT (e.g. no shell, etc...)
	  ELSE YOU COULD VERY WELL OPEN A HUGE SECURITY HOLE TO
	  ANYONE WHO HAS A PHYSICAL ACCESS TO THE MACHINE.
	  AND DON'T FORGET TO: chmod 600 wdm-config
			       chown root.root wdm-config

wdm-1.17 -- Sep 8 1999
	- user environnement settings in /etc/login.conf now
	  propagate correctly to the client session.
	- some modifications were done to compile for Irix.
	- a problem about libz and libpng when configuring
	  was corrected.
	- some cleanups to the source trees and the code.

wdm-1.16 -- Jul 7 1999
	- GFX_LIB_PATH and GFX_INC_PATH now
	  are set correctly in configure.

wdm-1.15 -- Jul 6 1999
	- the pixmaps weren't installed anymore,
	  now it's corrected.
	- wdm's Xsession didn't load X resources
	  before running ~user/.xsession but after.
	- a mailing list was set up (see README)

wdm-1.14 -- Jul 1 1999

	- added support for GIF (both libgif and libungif)
	- add check for libtiff34 as well as libtiff
	- "RollUp" animation finalized as diagonal
	- wdm Xresourses now cleaned up when Xsession is started
	- to simlify configuration/installation on FreeBSD, -lXt is
	  now included (will not hurt even if it is not used)
	- bugfixes
	- configuration changes to make it easier to install and run
	  wdm on different systems
	- minor changes in the "look" of the login and help panels to
	  make them a bit more symetrical.

	- adjust Login panel's "look" to make it more symetrical

	  windowmanager
	- new wdmAnimations Xresource to enable/disable shake and rollup

	- changed wdmBg Xresource so that if it is missing of has the value
	  none, then the background is not set (the user can still set it via
	  other means)
	- chooser is no longer compiled by wdm .. it was not installed
	  anyway.

wdm-0.12 -- beta six -- Aug 24 1998
	- ./configure will now look for a number of window managers and
	  use the found path in Xclients.  It also build WMLIST based on
	  the found window managers.  This can continue to be overriden by
	  the --with-wmlist=<...> option.
	- added Xsession.XFree86 example.
	- INSTALL and README so that INSTALL now contains the
	  configuration and installation information
	- ./configure --with-wmlist=<...> can be used to specify

	  alternate file (from .../wdm/pixmaps directory) to be

	  uses the new "Secure" mode which displays better
	- The default distributed mode for the wdmVeryify xresources is
	  true -- this requires entering a valid username/password
	  when performing Reboot/Halt/ExitLogin.
