I'm pleased to announce the 0.1.3 version of gnoMint: a graphical Certification Authority managing tool.

This version add some useful features to 0.1.2 version:
* It allows exporting uncrypted private keys (useful for unattended SSL/TLS servers).
* It requires a minimum length (8 characters) for private-key export passphrase (so OpenSSL can import this keys).

It also fixes some nasty bugs:
* Now, gnoMint checks that passphrase and confirmation are the same in private-key export passphrase.
* The focus is grabbed correctly when asking for passphrase, so no mouse action is needed.

GtkUnique 0.9.0 has been released:

Here's the initial beta release of GtkUnique, a library for creating single instance applications[1]. all back-ends are available and working:

* D-Bus [preferred]
* Xlibs
* Unix domain sockets

the IPC is completely hidden behind the API, so you don't have to care about it; the better encapsulation of the IPC code made possible to review the design and actually allow the subclassing of the GtkUniqueApp object[2]. so, now, you can implement your own application object as a subclass of GtkUniqueApp.
