ChangeLog for Keychain

keychain 2.9.0_beta2 (23 Apr 2025)

Code has been overhauled to be more maintainable and various parts of the codebase have been rewritten. During this
process, which started with 2.9.0_alpha1, various things were broken. THIS IS THE FIRST POTENTIALLY VIABLE WORKING
RELEASE since 2.8.5, so PLEASE TEST AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK. It will be marked as a non-prerelease on GitHub to get
more active testing and feedback.
Please note -- this version of keychain uses gpg-agent by default, if available. We are evaluating the consequences
of this change at the moment, request feedback on complications related to this change, and THIS DECISION MAY BE
REVERSED in the final release of 2.9.0 (we may go back to defaulting to ssh-agent, and have an option to use gpg-agent
in place of ssh-agent, instead of just automatically using gpg-agent.) Please provide feedback in GitHub issues
based on your experience. We have already found some challenges with the gpg-agent-by-default strategy, so no need
to convince anyone. Just share your feedback/opinion. Also note that the man page has been updated to reflect all
these changes, so take a look at the man page for info on the current behavior. There are new sections: LIFECYCLE,
STARTING and SOCKETS AND PIDS.
ChangeLog has been converted to ChangeLog.md (thanks @d4g33z) to facilitate better interoperability with GitHub and
modern conventions.
