ANNOUNCE: Bonobo Configuration Moniker (bonobo-conf 0.2)

[Dietmar Maurer <dietmar ximian com>]

The second release of bonobo-conf provides two major features: First, it
is now
completely independent of database backends - backends are provided
through
the moniker system. You can simply plug in a new backend by providing a
new
moniker. A moniker for GConf is included in this release.

The second feature is a framework to make it easy to create preferences
dialogs
for applications. It is now possible to write such dialogs with minimal
programming effort.

bonobo-conf 0.2 summary:

     - new architecture which allows several backends
     - new xml based file format for configuration data
     - we use xml-i18n-tools
     - new GConf moniker (can be used as backend for bonobo-conf)
     - more documentation
