+
+ * Add support for greeters running inside sessions. This is enabled by
+ setting X-LightDM-Allow-Greeter inside the session .desktop file.
+ The session can then use liblightdm to connect one greeter to the
+ daemon. The communication is done using a socket
+ (/var/run/lightdm/<user>/greeter-socket) that is accessible to any
+ process run by that user. Consider controlling access to this socket
+ using a MAC system such as AppArmor.
+ * Report errors for all liblightdm methods. This will require existing
+ greeters to update their API usage. The ABI is unchanged.
+ * Handle EAGAIN correctly when daemons communicate with the daemon.
+ * Drop support for mir-container sessions - no-one ever used these.
+
+Overview of changes in lightdm 1.19.1

+
+ * Fix default X server command set to XMir in 1.15.0.

+ * Add an option for XDMCP and VNC servers to only listen on one address.

+ errors.
+ * Fix small memory leaks.
+ * Improve logging messages.
+ * Test improvements.
+

+ * Handle CanGraphical property on logind seats
+
+Overview of changes in lightdm 1.11.7

+ * Fix double removal of source IDs
+
+Overview of changes in lightdm 1.9.5
+

+
+Overview of changes in lightdm 1.9.1
+
+ * Correctly set $XDG_SESSION_CLASS for greeters. This was regressed in 1.7.5
+ for ConsoleKit and was never passed to logind. logind/ConsoleKit treat
+ greeter sessions without this set as user sessions. This causes greeters
+ to show the lightdm user able to be logged in with.
+ * Set $USER when running the session-setup-script. This is a regression from
+ 1.7.5.
+ * Fix notification of sessions being logged out. This is a regression from
+ 1.7.5 and caused greeters to show sessions logged in after they had been
+ logged out.
+ * Refactor liblightdm user scanning to be simpler and more reliable. This
+ fixes bugs where some properties wouldn't be updated when they changed in
+ accounts service.
+ * Add support for a "display-stopped-script" field in lightdm.conf. The
+ "display-stopped-script" field allows us to run a script right after
+ stopping the display server.
+ * Allow dm-tool to run outside of a session if it doesn't need to be.
+ * Set $MIR_SERVER_NAME to assign a name to launched sessions. Also use a
+ "greeter-" prefix for greeter sessions for the benefit of
+ unity-system-compositor.

+
+Overview of changes in lightdm 1.7.15
+
+ * Set XDG_VTNR=1 as a fallback if using SeatUnity without a functioning
+ compositor or working VT switching, so that logind will recognize the VT
+ as active.
+
Overview of changes in lightdm 1.7.14
* Correctly set permissions on Xauthority file.
