udisks 1.0.2
------------
udisks provides a daemon, D-Bus API and command line tools
for managing disks and storage devices.
All releases in the udisks 1.0 series will retain ABI compatibility at
the D-Bus interface level. This means that any application built
against udisks 1.0.x will work with udisks 1.0.y provided that y >=
x. At this point we do not provide any ABI guarantees for the
udisks(1) command-line tool (neither options nor the name). See the
README file for more discussion of ABI guarantees.

Post-release version bump to 1.0.2

udisks 1.0.1
------------
udisks provides a daemon, D-Bus API and command line tools

All releases in the udisks 1.0 series will retain ABI compatibility at

udisks(1) command-line tool (neither options nor the name). See the
README file for more discussion of ABI guarantees.
ATTENTION: This release fixes a local information disclosure: The
device-mapper udev prober exposed the plaintext password of encrypted
LUKS devices as an udev property "UDISKS_DM_TARGETS_PARAMS", which all
local users can read without restriction. (CVE-2010-1149) The only
affected version is udisks 1.0.0 (it was introduced in commit 2f0154);
No release of DeviceKit-Disks is affected. See fdo #27494 for more
details.
Changes from udisks 1.0.0:
David Zeuthen (3):
Update NEWS for release
Post-release version bump to 1.0.1
Update NEWS for release
