The new version has the password migration and a bunch of fixes, I've
tested it on my laptop and it works correctly

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: evolution-data-server
+ The current evolution-data-server version doesn't use gnome-keyring so
+ the passwords are stored in .gnome2_private which is not ideally
+ security wise, using the gnome-keyring would be better
  
- i think the issues that people had with using gnome-keyring have been
- addressed, and it would be nice to see it re-enabled in evolution.
+ TESTCASE:
+ - run evolution
+ - configure a mail account or an ldap addressbook using a password for example
+ - look to Evolution in .gnome2_private to see lines corresponding to your 
accounts
+ - run seahorse, go to the password tabs and see that your evolution passwords 
are not listed
+ 
+ close evolution, install the evolution-data-server upgrade and restart
+ evolution
+ 
+ - the password are transparently migrated when accessing an account which 
require those
+ - try and make sure you can still use your mail account, ldap directory, etc
+ - look in .gnome2_private and see that the corresponding password lines have 
been cleaned
+ - start seahorse again
+ - switched to the password tab and see that your passwords are listed there 
now
