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 + +Translations updated: + Aragonese + Friulian + Galician + Greek + Hebrew + Hungarian + Italian + Lithuanian + Norwegian bokmål + Polish + Serbian + Slovak + Slovenian + Spanish + Thai + Uyghur + +Bugs closed: + 595579 support NFS + 663961 Cannot build without a git checkout + 673834 dconf commandline tool doesn't initialise the locale + 686998 add keywords to the desktop file + 687120 gnome-ostree-3.8 triggers expected && oc->change == expected assertion + 687310 dconf-editor should install a highcontrast app icon + 689136 Crash in dconf_writer_real_end(): change is NULL (when $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dconf does not exist) + 690316 writer: Fix typo causing segfaults on service shutdown + 690477 Can't build with gnome-apps-3.6 module set + 691013 Crash on missing ~/.config/dconf and clear pointer + 692144 needs a nicer icon + 692186 build: autogen.sh uses /bin/sh but depends on advanced shell redirection shorthands + Changes in dconf 0.15.2 ======================== -- cgit v1.2.1
