- Fix sudo shutdown helper for systems without HAL (bug 4849).
- Avoid a spurious error dialog when using the sudo shutdown helper
  to shut down the system (bug 4849).
- Fix crash in autostart editor when adding a new app (bug 4934).
- Translation updates: el, eu, gl, hu, id, it, pl, ru, tr

4.5.99.1 (Xfce 4.6rc1)
======================

- Translation updates: cs, da, fr, nb_NO, pt_BR, sv, zh_CN.

4.5.93 (Xfce 4.6beta3)
======================

- Don't let autostart get run twice when using the failsafe session
  (bug 4486).
- Display username in logout dialog (bug 3083).
- Ignore DBUS_GERROR_NO_REPLY errors on suspend/hibernate (bug 4629).
- Use xfce_message_dialog() instead of xfce_err() for the Balou config 
  dialog.
- Check for the existence of pwd.h and getpwuid().
- Display the currently logged-in user in the shutdown dialog.
- Properly signal that startup is complete when using the failsafe
  session.
- Translation updates: ca, cs, de, es, eu, fi, fr, hu, id, ja, nb_BO, 
  pt_BR, sq, sv, uk, tr.

4.5.92 (Xfce 4.6beta2)
======================

- Hook up Help button in settings dialog.
- Implement support for the RestartImmediately restart style hint.
- Fix possible crash with uninitialised GError (bug 4202).
- Link libxfsm against all required libs to avoid link-time errors
  (bug 4429).
- Make splash engines store their settings in Xfconf.
- Handle the ProcessID SM property properly.
- Add a session editor to the settings dialog.
- Fix compilation on some Linux systems with a broken linux/ioprio.h
  header (bug 4515).
- Fix a possible crash on amd64 (bug 4510).
- Add support for suspend and hibernate via HAL.  Initial patch from
  Michael Casadevall (bug 2672).
- When restoring clients on startup, be sure to set their current
  working directory if the cwd was set as a part of their saved state.
- Add SaveSession kiosk capability (bug 2998).
- When a client requests interaction, don't continue to kill all other
  clients while it's still interacting.  And then don't ignore it when
  it wants to cancel shutdown.  Also fixes a similar problem when
  interaction is requested during a phase 2 save-yourself (bug 4284).

4.5.91 (Xfce 4.6beta1)
======================

- Start up session in parallel to greatly shorten startup time (bug 4312).
- Add a D-Bus interface for some limited amount of remote control.
- Implement support for the ShutdownCommand SM property when a
  client has RestartAnyway set as its restart style hint.
- Implement support for the RestartNever restart style hint.
- sync() disks early in the shutdown process if on Linux and
  ioprio_set() is available (bug 4313).  Otherwise sync() right before
  quit as before (bug 4313).
- Check for a running gnome-keyring instance before launching
  a new one (bug 3007).
- Convert most of xfce4-session to use Xfconf.  Splash settings are still
  stored in the xfce4-splash.rc file.  The xfce4-session.rc file is no longer
  used, however.

- Fix compile-issues with -Wall -Werror in mice theme-engine and settings-dialogs

- Remove dependency on deprecated NETK
- Translations: am, ar, az, be, bn_IN, ca, cs, da, de, dz, el,

4.3.99.2
========
- Remove references to xftaskbar4 and xfce4-iconbox and rename xffm to Thunar
  for the Tips'n'Tricks displayed on startup (#1332).
- Be sure to start Thunar prior to xfdesktop on first login to avoid the trash
  error from xfdesktop if the session bus is not configured properly (#2447).
- Applications that fail to startup on login do no longer time out, but are
  dropped immediately from the session, which results in faster startup in
  that case.
- Merge the sudo and the HAL shutdown helpers into a single shutdown helper,
  which tries to use HAL first, and falls back to sudo.
- Drop GLib 2.2.x compatibility code.
- Updated translations: Pau Rul-lan Ferragut (ca), Sylvain Vedrenne (eo),
			ByungHyun Choi (ko), Phan Vĩnh Thịnh (vi)
- New translations: Sonam Rinchen (dz)


4.3.99.1
========
- Add support for HAL to shutdown/reboot the computer. Must be enabled
  explicitly using --with-shutdown-style=hal to configure (Bug #2046).

  applications that will be automatically start on session login. Autostart
  items from the previous location (~/Desktop/Autostart/) will be migrated
  automatically on first run of the new session manager.
- The list of autostarted applications can now be altered using a simple
  editor application (xfce4-autostart-editor).
- The xfce4-tips tool is now part of xfce4-session and well integrated with
  the new autostart mechanism.
