Hi all,
desktop-file-utils was finally migrated from cvs to git. The git repo is
xdg/desktop-file-utils:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/desktop-file-utils/
Also, this made it possible to finally do a new desktop-file-utils
release. So here we have desktop-file-utils 0.16:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/desktop-file-utils/releases/desktop-file-utils-0.16.tar.bz2
This is the first release in two years (!).
Changes in desktop-file-utils 0.16:
desktop-file-install
- do not unlink the destination file if it's the same as the source
file in desktop-file-install
desktop-file-validate
- check that a main category is included in the Categories
- check that categories required by another one are present
- do not always show warnings about KDE specific uses
- check that the Comment does not look like the Name and the
GenericName
- display error about multiple keys with the same name earlier
- improve MIME type check to make sure that the MIME types are valid
- add LXDE in the list of registered OnlyShowIn values
- add "warning" to error strings to make them easily greppable
- handle AutostartCondition key, as proposed for the autostart
specification and used in GNOME
- accept empty Categories key as valid
- make new errors non-fatal to give some time to maintainers to fix
their .desktop file after a release of desktop-file-utils
- plug leak
- code cleanups
update-desktop-database
- improve MIME type check to make sure that the MIME types are valid
- improve error messages
- fix format string vulnerability warning
misc
- use AM_SILENT_RULES
- improve build system
Thanks
Vincent
