New in zuluCrypt 4.6.6 (Nov 18, 2013)
- fix a regression,retrieving keys from kwallet using volume UUID broke.
- volumes in gnome are now stored in libsecret and no longer in libgnome-keyring

- add an internal system that can securely store keys independently of kde kwallet and gnome libsecret.Useful to those who
- want to store keys securely but dont want gnome or kde dependencies
- add compile time option to use mount points in user home directory instead of "/run/media/private"
- NOTE: changes in management of wallets are not backward compatible and hence volumes will have to be readded after the update.My
- apologies for the inconvenience.

- feature added:users who are members of "zulumount-exec" group will have their volumes opened with "exec" mount option.
- This will allow them to be able to execute commands from the mount point.The default and recommended option is not mount with "noexec" option.
- feature added:A "-M" option is added that will create a publicly accessible "mirror" of a mount point in "/run/share" from the private
- original one created in "/run/media/$USER.This option is there to allow a user to mount a volume and have it accessible from other users of the system.
