23/03/08 - Announcement 0.7.0rc2 and bachelor thesis about mounting We proudly present the second release candidate for Elektra 0.7.0. Many bugs were fixed, kdbGet() and kdbSet() are now really stable, useful and well documented. test_kdb also tests hosts and fstab next to filesys with 6598 test cases (see README in tests to run it).
kdbSet() now supports a parent key to set only a part of the configuration passed by the keyset, allowing to e.g. save system and user configuration seperately. It only calls kdbSet_backend() when it is actually necessary. The splitting works much more efficient with n*b instead of n^2*b. The highlevel functions kdbGetKey() and kdbSetKey() now work well with Capabilities. This allows very easy changing of keys inside backends even with some lacking capabilities, see http://www.libelektra.org/GetStartedMounting Patrick Sabin and I wrote our bachelor thesis about mounting backends for configuration. It gives a detailed introduction in problem and choices and the actual implementation. http://www.markus-raab.org/ftp/elektra.pdf elektra.pdf http://www.markus-raab.org/ftp/elektra.ps.gz elektra.ps.gz thank you Markus Raab _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
