If you have no clue what GDM is, refer to the documentation links at the bottom of this announcement.

There has been a lot of work in GDM in the 2.19 unstable branch, and though we've made a real effort to make sure this version of GDM works reasonably, I'm sure there are many issues that have been introduced into the code. The GDM development team would greatly appreciate hearing about any issues or bugs that you find. Link to bug tracking tool for GDM at the bottom of this announcement.
