If you subsequently downgrade +to an older version, it will no longer find your account data. Taking a backup +copy of ~/.mission-control before you upgrade is recommended. + +Configuration changes: + +• Accounts are now stored in the telepathy/mission-control subdirectory + of g_get_user_data_dir(). On Unix, this usually means + ~/.local/share/telepathy/mission-control, but can be changed with the + standard $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables. + +• ./configure --with-accounts-dir (at build time) and $MC_ACCOUNTS_DIR + (at runtime) no longer change where new accounts are stored. They now set + what Mission Control considers to be the "old" location for accounts; + accounts in that directory will be moved into the new location. + Using this option is deprecated. + +Enhancements: + +• Migrate accounts and avatars from ~/.mission-control to + the location described above (fd.o #35896; W. Jon McCann, Jonny, Simon) +• More removals of obsolete code and interfaces (fd.o #54633, Simon) + Fixes: • Recover from incomplete password migrations caused by upgrading to -- cgit v1.2.1
