Version 0.9.2

Development release of ConsoleKit2 targeting the 1.0 release.
Please report all problems to

Changes to the public DBUS API:
    - Adds the PowerOff/Reboot and respective Can APIs.
    - Adds the PolkicyKit interactivity flag to the
      API calls. Same as logind.

Other minor changes:

Version 0.9.1
==============
[Please note that this is a development release.]

Development release of ConsoleKit2 targeting the 1.0 release.
Please report all problems to
https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2/issues

Only one commit with this release but since it changes the
public DBUS API it's better to get it out now before someone
starts writing for the 0.9.0 APIs.

Hybrid Suspend has been added as a sleep method. The sleep
API has been reworked to emulate logind so that supporting
both is easier.

==============
Version 0.9.0

[Please note that this is a development release.]

Development release of ConsoleKit2 targeting the 1.0 release.
Please report all problems to

ConsoleKit2 is a fork of ConsoleKit since it is no longer maintained.

Added OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD backends, pulled in FreeBSD and
GNU/kFreeBSD provided to the ConsoleKit bugtracker or on distro's
public repositories. As well as many other patches floating around
so that distributions no longer have to carry large patchsets.
Please report any other patches required or currently in use and
those can be added as well.

The 63 threads issue has been resolved if the Linux kernel has
support for the notification required.

ConsoleKit2 supports suspending and hibernation for Linux, FreeBSD,
DragonFlyBSD, and OpenBSD through a DBUS API.
