libsecret
|
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A [GObject]-based library for accessing the Secret Service API of the
|
|
|
|
|
[freedesktop.org project], a cross-desktop effort to access passwords, tokens
|
|
|
|
|
and other types of secrets. libsecret provides a convenient wrapper for these
|
|
|
|
|
methods so consumers do not have to call the low-level DBus methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The actual Secret Service API spec can be found at
|
|
|
|
|
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/.

If libsecret is not translated in your language or you believe that the
|
|
|
|
|
current translation has errors, you can join one of the various translation
|
|
|
|
|
teams in GNOME. Translators do not commit directly to Git, but are advised to
|
|
|
|
|
use our separate translation infrastructure instead. More info can be found at
|
|
|
|
|
the [translation project wiki page].

Releases
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The release tarballs use [semantic versioning] since 0.19.0, which
|
|
|
|
|
basically means:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The major version will be incremented if backward incompatible changes are added
|
|
|
|
|
- The minor version will be incremented if new functionality is added in a backward compatible manner
|
|
|
|
|
- The patch version will be incremented if only backward compatible bug fixes are added
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that there is no stable/unstable indication in whether the minor
|
|
|
|
|
version number is even or odd.
