+>>> - new version 3.2.1
+>>> - create own subpackage for gir .typelib
+>>> - clean .spec a bit
+>>
+>> For packages that have a pretty high impact, you probably should test it
+>> before updating.
+>>
+>> In this case 3.2.1 introduces a new dconf system which totally breaks if
+>> you don't do some %post stuff to update the actual data file.
+>>
+>> These instructions were clearly documented and if you'd tested the
+>> package even minimally, you'd have seen the problem and no doubt found
+>> this commit quickly (I saw the problem, did a temporary fix), logged in,
+>> looked in git and found the commit immediately and then fixed the spec
+>> accordingly).

+> Sorry, my bad. I'll do more thorough testing next time. I did read

+> Luckily you were awake and fixed package pretty fast. Thx for that.
+
+Yeah I've asked Ray on IRC to add a bit more info about that change  (it
+should have been in NEWS IMO)...
+
+Anyway, no biggie but gdm in particular is probably one to always test
+first :)
