This makes sure that the user only has to type in + his passphrase once if there are multiple objects to unlock + with the same one. Previously, such password caching was + available only when Plymouth was used; this moves the + caching logic into the systemd codebase itself. The + "systemd-ask-password" utility gained a new --keyname= + switch to control which kernel keyring key to use for + caching a password in. This functionality is also useful for + enabling display managers such as gdm to automatically + unlock the user's GNOME keyring if its passphrase, the + user's password and the harddisk password are the same, if + gdm-autologin is used. + * Galician, Serbian, Turkish and Korean translations were added.
