4 This release consists almost entirely of fixes made by Robert to
5 dconf-editor. A few other trivial build fixes are included as well
6 (bumping library version dependencies to match reality, etc).
11 This is entirely a cleanup/fixes release. Some fixes here to make the
12 increasingly-strict toolchain happy, and also some fixes for some
13 crashers in the GSettings backend and service.
15 - remove some unused variables (new GCC gives a warning: #640566, another)
16 - add a mutex to fix multi-threading issue (#640611)
17 - don't crash if we have no D-Bus
18 - clean up symbol exports
19 - fix a crash in the service when using 'reset'
20 - drop old linker options that were for libtool
22 Changes in dconf 0.7.1
23 ======================
25 The last release contained a few problems that caused build failures on
26 some strict linkers. Those should be fixed now.
31 - new library to use dconf with libdbus-1
32 - quite a lot of improvements and bug-fixes in dconf-editor, thanks to
34 - some bug fixes in the GSettings backend (crashers caused by use if
35 custom dconf profiles)
36 - some FreeBSD build fixes
37 - increased Vala dependency to 0.11.4 (required for dconf-editor fixes)
42 - Rewrite a lot of the GSettings backend to reduce GDBus abuse. We use
43 our own worker thread now instead of trying to hijack GDBus's.
44 - disable gobject-introspection support for now
45 - drop support for GTK2 in dconf-editor
46 - Add a new torture-test case
47 - Increase dbus timeout to 2 minutes (in case the service is heavily loaded)
48 - Fix several memory leaks and other bugs
50 Changes in dconf 0.5.1
51 ======================
53 - Adjust to GDBus API changes
54 - Send correct object path in Notify on WriteMany
55 - Use printf() and exit() instead of g_error() to avoid too many crash
57 - Require gobject-introspection 0.9.5
59 - Make dconf-editor optional
60 - Drop libgee requirement for dconf-editor
61 - Tweak shared library installation to make ldconfig happy
62 - Bump .gir version to dconf-1.0
63 - Fix introspection build with recent gobject-introspection
69 - Include a dconf-editor
71 - allow compiling without gobject-introspection
72 - autotools/build fixups
73 - repair some broken use of tags
74 - many updates for glib API changes
75 - fix a crasher in the service
76 - prefer 'automake-1.11' if it is in the path
77 - add support for layering (ie: for system defaults)
78 - add support for multiple writers in one service
79 - add a shared memory status region to indicate if the gvdb is stale
80 this prevents dconf from having to reopen the file each time
81 - support keyfile-maintained system settings (via 'dconf update')
82 - port client library and commandline tool to vala
83 - client library no longer has unimplemented calls
84 (except for write_many_async, due to bugs in valac)
85 - gtk-doc is now complete for the client library
86 - install our own vapi
87 - support 'reset' in the GSettingsBackend
92 - fix crashes when the dconf database doesn't yet exist
93 - add some incomplete gtk-doc
94 - use new GVDB (note: dconf file format has incompatibly changed)
95 - implement GSettings sync()
96 - use string tags instead of sequence numbers since it was impossible
97 to have universally unique sequence numbers
98 - theoretical support for sharing dconf databases between machines with
100 - fix bug where first write was not successful when auto-starting
102 - FreeBSD build fixes
103 - client API cleanups
104 - GObject introspection support
105 - enable automake silent rules by default for tarball builds
