About dconf
===========

Configuation database system

News
====

This release more or less completes the rewriting of dconf-service.
Support for backends are now fully-realised (and we have a couple of
them as proof).  Many small bugs (some with serious symptoms) have been
fixed vs. the last release.

 - fix problem related to empty changesets (caused by empty 'dconf
   load', for example).  These are now handled properly on the server
   side but also forbidden in the client libraries.

 - new icons: hicolor icons have been updated and a HighContrast set
   added

 - loosen some assertions on the order of messages being returned from
   the service.  D-Bus violates this order in the case that the service
   crashes and that's no reason to take the client with it as well.

 - improve autogen.sh non-bash compatibility

 - add some backends to the dconf-service (that were 'considered' as per
   the last NEWS).  The first backend is a null backend that allows for
   a temporary database tied to the lifetime of the session, possibly
   useful for testing.

 - also add a new 'keyfile' backend for the service.  This is primarily
   intended to be used with NFS (where use of mmap is not safe)

 - add a mkdir() in the case of an empty home directory where
   ~/.config/dconf does not already exist

 - fix crashes in the service caused by failures to write (including
   failures caused by the above issue being overlooked)

 - work around an issue with a testcase hanging and failing due to a
   GLib change to the order in which testcases are run

 - running autoreconf on tarballs should now work
