The freedesktop.org shared MIME database unifies the MIME databases used by GNOME, KDE, and ROX. This means that applications only have to modify one database on installation, and users have a single place to make changes that will affect all applications.

Changes: The type descriptions were made more consistent. Many new types were added. A package-config file was added. A new option for packagers disables the update of the database on install. New "az", "cy", and "no" translations were added.


Changes: This version moves to intltool for translations, adds minor updates to the database, and implements new <alias> and <sub-class-of> elements, to describe relationships between MIME types.
