Ship it!


Looks good to me, but I think we lost commit f142cc25 when the implementation of changerecorder_p.h was moved into its own file.


akonadi/changerecorder_p.cpp
<http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106950/#comment16260>

    The lost commit added a safety check for !stream.atEnd() to the for loop to avoid insane memory consumption when the input file is corrupt.



akonadi/changerecorder_p.cpp
<http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106950/#comment16261>

    Same safety check could go here.
