Important notes:'

  • Python package layout and module layout has changed
  • Client packages have been broken up so that individual components are more modular, to facilitate non-gnome clients, etc.
  • Due to the change of name for the installed protocol package, users updating from previous beta versions may need to uninstall/reinstall to perform an upgrade. This was not consistent across tested installations in QA, and the variance may have been due to environmental issues on the machine on which this was observed.
