What's new in dconf 0.15.3:

February 12th, 2013

· This release more or less completes the rewriting of dconf-service.
· Support for backends are now fully-realised (and we have a couple of
· them as proof). 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
