================================================================================
 Django-1.2.3-1.fc12 (FEDORA-2010-14875)
 A high-level Python Web framework
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Today the Django team has released Django 1.2.3, which remedies several issues
with the recent 1.2.2 package.    This package corrects the following problems:
* The patch applied for the security issue covered in Django 1.2.2 caused issues
with non-ASCII responses using CSRF tokens. This has been remedied.  * The patch
also caused issues with some forms, most notably the user-editing forms in the
Django administrative interface. This has been remedied.  * The packaging
manifest did not contain the full list of required files. This has been
remedied.    See: http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2010/sep/10/123/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Mon Sep 13 2010 Steve 'Ashcrow' Milner <me at stevemilner.org> - 1.2.3-1
- Update for http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2010/sep/10/123/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


================================================================================
 botan-1.8.10-1.fc12 (FEDORA-2010-14874)
 Crypto library written in C++
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Update to Botan 1.8.10. These are the release notes:    This release changes a
number of aspects of how private keys are encrypted. The default encryption
algorithm has changed from 3DES to AES-256; botan has supported AES for this
purpose for many years but 3DES was chosen as the default for compatibility with
other libraries. However supporting AES should not be a problem any longer in
recent libraries, so moving to a safer default seems reasonable. In addition,
the default iteration count for PBES1 and PBES2 encryption schemes (which are
used primarily to encrypt asymmetric keys like RSA or DSA) has increased from
2048 to 10000, which should make brute force key cracking substantially harder.
The first round of AES now uses a smaller set of lookup tables; this only
reduces performance slightly but some timing and cache analysis attacks against
AES are substantially harder when AES is implemented this way.    The class
known as S2K was renamed PBKDF in 1.9, with a typedef for backwards
compatibility. For providing an equivalent forward compatibility path, 1.8.10
includes a typedef for PBKDF and a new accessor function get_pbkdf. It also
includes a new interface for deriving keys with a passphrase which takes both
the passphrase and desired output length as well as the salt and iteration
count; in many cases this call is actually significantly more convenient than
the older API.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Sat Sep  4 2010 Thomas Moschny <thomas.moschny at gmx.de> - 1.8.10-1
- Update to 1.8.10.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


================================================================================
 bti-028-1.fc12 (FEDORA-2010-14886)
 Bash Twitter/Identi.ca Idiocy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update to bti enables OAuth authentication for Twitter and identi.ca. This
re-enables Twitter support, since basic authentication is now disabled by
Twitter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Wed Sep  8 2010 Michel Salim <salimma at fedoraproject.org> - 028-1
- Update to 028

================================================================================
 etckeeper-0.49-1.fc12 (FEDORA-2010-14852)
 Store /etc in a SCM system (git, mercurial, bzr or darcs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Update to version 0.49, with these bugfixes:     * Ensure that PATH contains the
directory containing etckeeper, so that hook scripts that re-exec etckeeper are
guaranteed to find it.   * Ignore -m switch to etckeeper commit, in case someone
tries to use it with that option common to several VCS.   * Remove HOME setting
in etckeeper. sudo now defaults to setting HOME itself as of version 1.7.4p4, so
it is not necessary for etckeeper to work around its behavior anymore. (sudo
also allows disabling that for those who enjoy using guns around feet.)   * Fix
file quoting problem in processing .etckeeper file in init.    Update to version
0.48, which has a lot of bugfixes and enhancements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Wed Sep 15 2010 Thomas Moschny <thomas.moschny at gmx.de> - 0.49-1

- Add patch from upstream that fixes bz 588086.
* Wed Jul 21 2010 David Malcolm <dmalcolm at redhat.com> - 0.41-2
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7/MassRebuild
