Hello,

The Linux-PAM developement team is pleased to announce the release
of version 0.99.2.0.

This release is the first version based on autoconf, automake and
libtool which is declared as "stable" by the Authors.

We would like to ask all Linux Distributors to update to this version,
the old "0.8x" branch will be no longer supported.

Beside the security fix from the 0.81 release it contains the
following changes since 0.99.1.0:

* Fix parsing of full path tty name in various modules
* pam_xauth: Look for xauth executable in multiple places
* pam_env: Support /etc/environment again, but don't treat it as
  error if it is missing.
* pam_userdb: Fix memory leak.

See the ChangeLog file for more details.

You can find the tar archives "Linux-PAM-0.99.2.0.tar.gz" and
"Linux-PAM-0.99.2.0-docs.tar.gz" on ftp.kernel.org and all mirrors
in the directory /pub/linux/libs/pam/pre/library/
