Xfconf 4.8.1
============

  * Fix double free crash (bug #8169).
  * Fix compiler warnings on solaris.
  * Avoid gcc 4.6 compiler warning.
  * Allow installation of the helpers in a custom location.
  * Updated translations: hr, is, ko, ms, nl, ru, sk, te, tr, zh_CN.


Xfconf 4.8.0
============

  * Updated translations: Arabic, Greek, Polish, Romanian.


Xfconf 4.7.5
============

  * Updated translations: he, nb, en_GB, pt, ar.


Xfconf 4.7.4
============

  * Don't enable options with --disable-<option> (bug #6820).
  * Updated translations: ug, sk, pt.

Xfconf 4.7.3
============

  * Use G_GSIZE_FORMAT in the DBG message.
  * Add doc module to fixxref options (bug #6304).
  * Link the gtkdoc scanner to GObject and Glib (bug #6407).
  * Check for perl outside bindings option for alias script (bug #6481).
  * Move xfconfd from $libexecdir to $libdir.
  * Updated translations: kk, bn, uk, si, it, sk, fr, id, zh_TW, de.

Xfconf 4.7.2
============

  * Disable cache singletons and improve some code now we know the
    tree is always empty during prefetch. This is only a disadvantage
    when creating multiple new channels with the same name, but
    in that case channels singletons should be used.
  * Lots of memory leaks plugged. Valgrind log is clean now.
  * Fix memory corruption during file loading and use mmap.
  * Properly handle dirty channels in the daemon and avoid excessive
    saving of channels.
  * Disable unimplemented code in the properties cache.
  * Steal values during cache prefetch to avoid a lot of copying.
  * Updated translations: hu.


Xfconf 4.7.1
============

  * Remove dangling nodes from the tree after a recursive remove.
  * Use a seconds timeout to reduce system wakeups.
  * Only print debug messages when compiled with debugging.
  * Merge xml files in reversed order (bug #6079).
  * Use g_strcmp0 for comparing strings.
  * Bump glib depenency to 2.18.
  * Silent the build.
  * Updated translations: pt_BR, nl, gl, fi, ru.


Xfconf 4.7.0
============

  * Add prefetching and caching support to XfconfChannel. Should speed
    things up a bit on app startup, and avoid blocking waiting on DBus
    in other cases.
  * New simpler (internal) handling of property bindings.
  * Use new xdt macros, this requires xfce-dev-tools 4.7.2.
  * New tests for object bindings.
  * Updated translations: es, kk, ca, sv, hu, ro, gl, ja, cs, lv, ast,
    zh_CN, ur, ur_PK, da, eu, pt.


Xfce 4.6.2
==========

  * Fix compilation using Sun cc (bug 5477).


Xfce 4.6.1
==========

  * Be a bit safer when writing out channel xml files: flush data to disk
    using fdatasync()/fsync() before renaming over the old file.
  * Updated translations: pl, es, it, gl, pl, pt, uk


Xfce 4.6.0
==========

  * Remove unimplemented --import and --export functions from xfconf-query
  * Fix encoding bug with xfconf-query input (Bug #4622)
  * Updated translations: ba, ca, cs, da, de, en_GB, es, fr, gl, hu, id, it, ja,
    nb, pl, pt_PT, sv, tr, zh_CN


Xfce 4.6rc1 (Xfce 4.5.99.1)
===========================

  * Don't translate "true" and "false" in the xfconf-query output.
  * Updated translations (cs, da, fi, fr, nl, pt_BR, sv, zh_CN)


Xfce 4.6beta3 (Xfce 4.5.93)
===========================

  * Install xfconfd to $(libexecdir) instead of $(bindir).
  * Fix perl bindings link order on Cygwin (bug 4735).
  * Allow passing arbitrary options to the perl bindings' Makefile.PL
    generation script (bug 4735).
  * Updated translations: Michal Várady (cs), SZERVÁC Attila (hu),
    Daniel Nylander (sv), Terje Uriansrud (nb), Carles Muñoz Gorriz (ca),
    Abel Martín (es), Maximilian Schleiss (fr), Og Maciel (pt_BR),
    Eren Turkay (tr)


Xfce 4.6beta2 (Xfce 4.5.92)
===========================

  * Add xfconf_channel_new_with_property_base() to restrict a channel
    to a subset of the property tree.
  * Add a dbus message filter to xfconfd that catches dbus daemon
    disconnect signals and flushes channels before xfconfd gets
    killed (bug 4487).
  * Change libxfconf GObject bindings API slightly to use gulong IDs
    for each binding to be used when removing bindings.  Extend the
    unbind functions a bit.
  * Bump libxfconf interface version due to incompatible change.
  * Add libxfconf perl bindings.
  * Remove xfconf_channel_remove_property() and
    xfconf_channel_remove_properties().
  * Only treat the XML file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME as a "user" file,
    and treat all others as system files.  This fixes the problem where
    Xfce-installed defaults get read *after* the user's config when
    Xfce is installed to a user-writable prefix (bug 4592).
  * Fix build on Cygwin and other platforms that actually care about
    library link order (bug 4559).


Xfce 4.6beta1 (Xfce 4.5.91)
===========================

  * Remove xfsettingsd (moved to xfce4-settings package).  This removes
    xfconf's gtk+ dependency entirely.
  * Add xfconf_channel_get() which returns an XfconfChannel singleton
    object that lives until calling xfconf_shutdown().
  * Add xfconf_channel_reset_property(), which is a replacement for the
    'remove' functions.  This more accurately describes what 'remove'
    actually does in the presence of locked properties and/or properties
    that have system-wide defaults.
  * Deprecate xfconf_channel_remove_property() and
    xfconf_channel_remove_properties().
  * Change D-Bus interface to reflect above two changes.
  * Add IsPropertyLocked() to the D-Bus interface, as well as a
    corresponding xfconf_channel_is_property_locked() libxfconf function,
    which allows clients to query whether or not a property can be
    modified.
  * Don't send out a PropertyChange signal if a property is set to the
    value it already held.
  * Fix daemon crash when resetting properties recursively.
  * Fix daemon sending incorrect property names in the PropertyRemoved
    signal when removing multiple properties at once.
  * For GObject property bindings, if the bound xfconf property is
    removed from the config store, try to reset the GObject property
    to the default value specified in its GParamSpec.
  * Add -R option to xfconf-query which causes the -r option (reset) to
    operate recursively to include all properties under the specified
    property.
  * Add -a option to xfconf-query which forces setting a property as an
    array even if the array only has one element.
  * Fix xfconf_channel_get_property() so it properly converts the value
    fetched from the config store into the type that the caller
    requested (if any).


Xfce 4.6alpha (Xfce 4.5.90)
===========================

  * Initial release.  There are bugs, and the API and ABI are not frozen.
