-----------------------------------------------

The System Tools Backends version 1.9.3 "Pit stop for the mind" have been released.

The System Tools Backends are a set of cross-platform modules for Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix systems. The backends provide an common DBus interface to all distros for modifying or reading the system configuration.
