This release includes a bugfix to the
fedora.client.AccountSystem().verify_password() method.  verify_password() was
incorrectly returning True (username, password combination was correct) for any
input.  Although no known code is using this method to verify a user's account
with the Fedora Account System, the existence of the method and the fact that
anyone using this would be allowing users due to the bug makes this a high
priority bug to fix.
