## Legend
---------
    + New features
    - Bug fixes
    * Others

## 0.14.0 - 2016-08-28
----------------------
    + New sddm.conf option EnableAvatars (useful for slow filesystems)
    + New sddm.conf option UserAuthFile on the XDisplay section
      to change the default Xauthority file name and path.
    + New sddm.conf option SessionLogFile on XDisplay and WaylandDisplay
      sections to change the default user session log location.
    + ComboBox now exposes the arrow background color as
      "arrowColor" property.
    + New "style" theme configuration for QtQuick Controls 2.0.
    + Require Qt 5.6 or better.
    + Enable HiDPI support.
    + Refresh sessions list.
    + Always fallback to an embedded theme if no suitable theme is found.
    - Actually change Qt platform theme.
    - Switch to Wayland session vt only when authentication
      succeeds.
    - Close PAM session.
    - Delete PAM credentials after closing the session.
    * More theme-neutral default user and root avatars
    * REMOVED the "circles" theme. Remember to change it if you had it set!
    * REMOVED the "maui" theme as a standalone theme as it is now
      embedded in the greeter. Remember to change the theme to empty
      if you had it set to "maui".
    * Update Estonian translation.
    * Add Catalan translation from Robert Antoni Buj Gelonch.
    * Add Dutch translation from Eric Hameleers.
    * Add Slovak translation from Martin Minka.
    * Add Swedish translation from Kristoffer Grundström.
    * Add Ukrainian translation from Cherevan Andriy.
    * Add Indian flag from Sanjeev Premi.

It would be a pitty if these changes would have to be patched cherry-
picked after release of 16.10

The Release-Annoncement [1] contains any important information, like
patches/their links.

This Release requires Qt-Version 5.6 or higher, so it would qualify to
be backported to Xenial-LTS.

Source-Code: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/archive/v0.14.0.tar.gz

Debian is already informed about this via their PTS [2]. There is
appearently no action taken since - which would imply a FFe now.

Thanks for the quality of life the Ubuntu-Flavors offer to the people
around the world.
