This release includes a bugfix to the fedora.client.AccountSystem().verify_password() method. verify_password() was incorrectly returning True (username, password combination was correct) for any input. Although no known code is using this method to verify a user's account with the Fedora Account System, the existence of the method and the fact that anyone using this would be allowing users due to the bug makes this a high priority bug to fix.
