| D-Bus 1.0.0 (08 November 2006) |
| == |
| - Documents updated with API/ABI garuntees |
| - Added missing patch FreeBSD need to run out of the box |
| - dbus-monitor now has a profile mode |
| - AUTHORS file updated with names from the ChangeLog |
| Thanks to everyone who helped get us here |
| |
| D-Bus 1.0 RC 3 (0.95) (02 November 2006) |
| == |
| - DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE no longer needs to be defined when building apps |
| - ./configure checks now work when cross compiling |
| - dbus-uuidgen --ensure is now run in the init script so there is no need to |
| run it in a post script |
| - dbus-uuidgen now writes out to /var/lib/dbus to work with systems that do not |
| have a writable /etc. Packages should install and own the /var/lib/dbus |
| directory |
| - recursive locks are now used when dbus_threads_init_default is called |
| - standard_session_servicedirs tag added to the session.conf |
| under a normal build this specifies these service directories: |
| /usr/local/share/dbus-1/services |
| /usr/share/dbus-1/services |
| $HOME/.local/share/dbus-1/services |
| - fixed crash when a service directory is specified more than once |
| - fixed a crash in *BSD when watching config directories for changes |
| - fixed Irix build by using dirp->__dd_fd to get the file descriptor |
| - cleaned up the LOCAL_CREDS vs CMGCRED credential code so *BSD's don't |
| crash here anymore |
| - dbus_message_iter_get_array_len deprecated |
| - cleanup-man-pages.sh added so packagers can clean up Doxygen man page output |
| from 7 to 2 megs |
| - large documentation improvements |
| - numerous bug fixes |
| |
| D-Bus 1.0 RC 2 (0.94) (14 October 2006) |
| == |
| - dbus-uuidgen binary added for future remote machine identification |
| packagers should call dbus-uuidgen --ensure in their post |
| - GetMachineId peer method added to the bus API |
| - dbus_connection_set_route_peer_messages API added to let the bus send |
| peer messages directly to an app |
| - Autolaunch abilities added to dbus-launch with the --autolaunch flag |
| This feature allows libdbus to start a session bus if none can be found |
| This is an internal feature and should not be used by scripts |
| DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is still the correct way to specify a session bus |
| - dbus-launch now prints out a simple key value pairs instead of shell scripts |
| if one of the shell flags aren't used |
| - support DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT env variable to cause blocking waiting for gdb |
| - weak ref are now held for shared connections so the right things happen |
| this fixes some pretty major bugs with the way connections were handled |
| - Some refactoring for Windows (doesn't effect Unix) |
| - Solaris build fixes |
| - MacOSX build fixes |
| - Cross compile build fixes. We now assume getpwnam_r is posix and va_lists |
| can be copied by value since we can't check this in a cross compile. If |
| this is not true for a particular target is up to the developer to patch. |
| - Bug fixing all around |
| |
| D-Bus 1.0 RC 1 (0.93) (14 September 2006) |

| - We now print out a warning and do nothing when someone tries to close a |
| shared connection |
| - The --introspect switch has been added to the bus for printing out |
| introspection data without actually running the bus |
| - LOCAL_CREDS socket credentials are now supported for systems which |
| support it such as NetBSD |
| - Generalize kqueue support so it works with NetBSD as well as FreeBSD |
| - Numerous bug fixes and memory leaks patched |
| |
| D-Bus 0.92 (18 August 2006) |
| == |
| - Proper thread locking added to pending calls |
| - Threading semantics changed from init early to init before the second thread |
| is started |
| - Correctly error out when an application tries to acquire or release the |
| org.freedesktop.DBus name instead of sending false result codes |
| - kqueue directory watching code can now be used to monitor config file changes |
| on FreeBSD |
| - --with-dbus-daemondir configure switch added so the daemon can be installed |
| separate from the user binaries |
| - Makefiles fixed for cygwin |
| - Various fixes for the ongoing Windows port |
| - Fixed docs and comments to use the D-Bus spelling instead of D-BUS |
| - Many memleaks and bugs fixed |

| - Pending calls get timed out on connection disconnect |
| - dbus_connection_send_with_reply returns TRUE and a NULL pending call |
| if you call it on a connection object which has been disconnected already |
| (it returns FALSE on Out of Memory errors only) |
| - dbus-monitor now correctly catches methods, not just signals |
| - dbus-monitor now prints object paths |
| |

| |
| D-BUS 0.50 (06 September 2005) |
| === |
| This is a minor release from 0.36.2. The series number has changed |
| not because of any technical reasons but as an indication that we |
| are moving closer to 1.0. It is hoped that this will be the last |

| test/data/valid-config-files/system.d/test.conf |
| for an example. |
| - add timeouts for authentication, activation |
| - add glib-style "checks" on public API, enable |
| those by default, disable assertions by default |

| - validate type of standard message header fields |
| - consider messages in the org.freedesktop.Local |
| namespace to be invalid (to avoid fake disconnect |
