Unstable release in 1.8 series. This release contains a quite major refactoring so please look out for any regressions. All the existing regression tests pass and a number of new ones were added for things that had never been checked. Overview of changes in lightdm 1.7.5 * Quit Plymouth correctly when using the unity seat type * Release the VT when the system compositor fails to start * Load sessions and greeters from /usr/share/lightdm/sessions and /usr/share/lightdm/greeters. The existing directories are checked if the sessions are not in these directories. * Refactor the Display class so that it merges with the Seat class * Support running the greeter and session in different display servers instead of re-using the same one during a login. * Add more regression tests * Documentation fixes https://launchpad.net/lightdm/+download -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
