Hello,

The Linux-PAM developement team is pleased to announce the release
of version 0.99.10.0. Depending on the number and severity of bugs,
we will release this version later as Linux-PAM 1.0 (or a version
based on 0.99.10.0 with bug fixes, no new features).


There are quite some new features since the last release:

* New substack directive in config file syntax.
* New module pam_tty_audit.so for enabling and disabling tty
  auditing.
* New PAM items PAM_XDISPLAY and PAM_XAUTHDATA.
* Auditing login denials based by origin (pam_access), time (pam_time),
  and number of sessions (pam_limits) to the Linux audit subsystem.
* Support sha256 and sha512 algorithms in pam_unix when they are supported
  by crypt().
* New pam_sepermit.so module for allowing/rejecting access based on
  SELinux mode.
* Improved functionality of pam_namespace.so module (method flags,
  namespace.d configuration directory, new options).
* Finaly removed deprecated pam_rhosts_auth module.


Please report bugs to the sourceforge bug tracking system.

  Your Linux-PAM development team
