tag_insight = "Update Information:

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.

* Sun Feb  8 2009 Toshio Kuratomi  - 0.3.9-1
- New upstream with important bugfixes.
* Sat Nov 29 2008 Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams  - 0.3.8-2
