| requires a certain API feature in order to function. For example, if you |
| see here a feature you need which is labelled <samp>1.20</samp>, your |
| manifest should contain in its main attributes the line: |
| </p> |

| <a name="edt">Keyring API usable from any thread</a> |
| </h3> |
| <em>Jan 6 '12; API spec. version: 1.10; affected top-level classes: <a href="./org/netbeans/api/keyring/Keyring.html"><code>Keyring</code></a>; made by: phejl; issues: <a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206475"> |
| #206475</a></em> |
| <br> |
| |
| <p> |
| It hasn't been allowed to call the Keyring from EDT. |
| This change removes the limitation as the need to read |
| password from the UI is not so rare. To resolve this people |
| had to code custom threading solution to prevent possible |
| deadlock on fallback implementation of the keyring API. |
| </p> |
| |
| <br> |
| <strong>Compatibility: </strong> |
| |
| <p> |
| Existing callers should use the Keyring directly from |
| any thread and should not try to avoid EDT anymore. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| SPI implementors should not be changed and they may |
| continue to assume that they will not be called directly |
| from EDT. |

| <a name="initial">Keyring API created</a> |
| </h3> |
| <em>Dec 11 '09; API spec. version: 1.0; made by: jglick; issues: <a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173413"> |
| #173413</a></em> |
| <br> |
| |
| <p> |
| A new API was created for securely storing user passwords. |
| Where possible it uses a native keyring. |
| </p> |
| |
| <br> |
| <strong>Compatibility: </strong> |
| |
| <p> |
| Modules formerly storing passwords in some other way should |
| not only begin using <code>Keyring</code>, but also delete any |
| passwords from the old storage as they are transferred. |
