     ionic state restore
  * mm-rich-text-editor now admits a new parameter adjust-height (default: true). It admits an HTML DOM Id string or boolean. Specifying it will adjust height of the editor to the selected element. If true it will adjust to the whole page and false will use height parameter instead.
  * Generators on stores are deprecated. Using generators will make Android < 4.4 fail. Use keyPath instead. They will be automatically generated if needed. DB Functions query, update and where are not allowed using compoung indexes see JSdoc DB functions on db.js for more info.
+ * A new field has been added to config.json: privacypolicy.
