<summary>Keyring API usable from any thread</summary>

<compatibility>
<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.
</p>
</compatibility>
<description>
<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.

<summary>Keyring API created</summary>
<version major="1" minor="0"/>
<date day="11" month="12" year="2009"/>

<compatibility>
<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.
</p>
</compatibility>
<description>
<p>
A new API was created for securely storing user passwords.
Where possible it uses a native keyring.
