[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Now version 0.26

============
Version 0.26
============

This version fixes an error that snuck into the Meson build files in version
0.25. The Autotools build is unaffected. Since the previous release has only
been out for a day, Autotools support is maintained in this release.

 update-desktop-database
  - Fix erroneous installation as "desktop-file-update" when using the Meson
    build system (fdo#58) (Antoine Jacoutot).

============
Version 0.25
============

This version adds support for the Meson build system and deprecates
Autotools. Support for the latter will be removed in the next release.

 common
  - Add Meson build system (fdo#14) (Félix Piédallu).

 desktop-file-validate
  - Allow desktop file spec version 1.4.
  - Make it possible to deprecate keys starting with "X-" (Bastien Nocera).
  - Add the "Implements" field from spec version 1.2 (fdo#55) (Dylan Baker).
  - Add the "PrefersNonDefaultGPU" key and deprecate "X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu"
    (Bastien Nocera).
  - Set locale for correct output message encoding (Philip Withnall).
  - Add coloured output support (Philip Withnall).
  - Fix parsing of escaped double quote in quoted strings (fdo#56). Found
    by Frédéric Brière.
  - Add GNOME Flashback, GNOME Classic desktops (Alberts Muktupāvels).

Note that we have to move to meson now. Autotools support will be dropped in the next version.

It builds with meson --prefix=/usr .. && ninja && ninja install, however there is a bug in meson that it triggers that we'll need to work around by removing '/usr/bin/desktop-file-edit' (which is a symlink) prior to installation. I'll put an instruction before the meson commands to handle this.
