| <p> |
| |
| <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. |

| <li>Dec 11 '09 <a href="apichanges.html#initial">Keyring API created</a> |
| <p> |
| |
| <p> |
| A new API was created for securely storing user passwords. |
| Where possible it uses a native keyring. |
