Over time applications +sometimes need to rearrange the way configuration options are stored. Since +such an update shouldn't influence the configuration options that the user +has selected, the application must take care that the options stored in the +old way will still be honored. + +What used to happen is that the application looks up both the old and the +new configuration option and then decides which one to use. This method has +several drawbacks: +- The application may need to read more configuration files than strictly + needed, resulting in a slower startup. +- The application becomes bigger with code that will only be used once. + +kconf_update addresses these problems by offering a framework to update +configuration files without adding code to the application itself. + +See the <a href="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kconf_update/README.kconf_update?view=markup">README file</a> for more information. + +@authors +Waldo Bastian \<bastian@kde.org\> + +@maintainers +[Unknown/None] + +@licenses +@lgpl + +*/ +// vim:ts=4:sw=4:expandtab:filetype=doxygen |
