| D-Bus 1.2.1 (04 April) |
| == |
| - Due to issues putting the re-licensing effort on hold indefinitely, it has |
| been decided to move to 1.2.x versioning scheme. Being that 1.1.20 is |
| considered to also be 1.2.0 and this being the second release in the 1.2.x |
| stable series we have versioned this release 1.2.1. This release contains a |
| number of bug fixes identified after 1.1.20. |
| - compiles under some older versions of glibc |
| - compiles without X support once again |
| - fix stuck server grab if dbus-launch is run in an existing D-Bus X session |
| - various Mac OSX build fixes added |
| - don't use the broken poll call on Mac OSX |
| - better checks for linker flag support should allow D-Bus to link under |
| various linkers |
| - exit_on_disconnect is set after the connection registers with a bus so we |
| don't exit if we get a disconnect during the handshake |
| - dicts now work correctly with dbus-send |
| - inotify backend is now less aggressive |
| - pending calls expire correctly |
| - memleak of uuid when the bus is autolaunched fixed |
| |
| D-Bus 1.1.20 - "Conisten Water" (27 Febuary) |
| == |
| |
| - This is the next generation supported STABLE release of D-Bus. For all |
| intents and purposes this is the 1.2.0 release WITHOUT the planned X11/MIT |
| license change due to a couple of license holders who have yet to respond. |
| For the most part this license change is being persued to simplify licensing |
| issues and fix a couple of licensing courner cases. When this happens D-Bus |
| will be released under the 1.2.0 version. |
| |
| - D-Bus 1.0.x effectively goes into security fix mode and will only be |
| updated for major issues. |
| |
| - Fixed CVE-2008-0595 - security policy of the type <allow send_interface= |
| "some.interface.WithMethods"/> work as an implicit allow for |
| messages sent without an interface bypassing the default deny rules and |
| potentially allowing restricted methods exported on the bus to be executed |
| by unauthorized users. |
| |
| - Fixes dbus-launch so the session bus goes away so does D-Bus |
| |
| - Builds against latest gcc/glibc changes |
| |
| - Correctly unref connections without guids during shutdown |
| |
| - About the name: Submitted by Greg K Nicholson, Conisten Water is a lake in |
| Cumbria, England where several water speed records have been broken. Between |
| 1956 and 1959 Sir Malcolm's son Donald Campbell set four successive records on the lake in Bluebird K7, a hydroplane. |

| D-Bus 1.1.4 - 1.2.0RC2 (17 January 2007) |
| == |
| - Fixes inotify support |
| |
| D-Bus 1.1.3 - 1.2.0RC1 (15 January 2007) |
| == |
| |
| - This release is intended to be Release Candidate 1 of major release |
| D-Bus 1.2.0. If nothing is found to be wrong with this release it |
| will become 1.2.0 within a week. If we need to make major changes |
| we will release an RC2 and start the process over again. |
| |
| - This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems |
| are found (though this is extreamly unlikely). |
| |
| - DTD for the introspection format is fixed and uploaded to the servers |
| |
| - Sources now reside in a git repository at |
| http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=dbus/dbus.git;a=summary |
| |
| - Argument path matching of the type arg0path='/aa/bb/' is now supported |
| (see the specification for more information) |
| |
| - New error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ObjectPathInUse added |
| |
| - Autolaunched busses now save their parameters in X11 if possible making them |
| behave closer to busses launched through the normal mechanisms |
| |
| - inotify is now the default backend for watching configuration file changes |
| |
| - More support for the AIX platform has been added |
| |
| - Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements |
| |
| D-Bus 1.1.2 (27 July 2007) |
| == |
| |
| - This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable |
| release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no |
| major problems are found. We'll do more betas if significant |
| changes are made. |
| |
| - This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems |
| are found (though we will try hard not to). |
| |
| - The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a |
| setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody |
| user, while services it launches may need to run as a different |
| user. |
| |
| ***Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be |
| timely right now, before 1.2.0*** |
| |
| A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt |
| |
| - The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be |
| actually usable. The dbus-daemon man page describes the new |
| elements in the address format. 1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces |
| flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner |
| approach. |
| |
| - Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes |
| if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important |
| otherwise. |
| |
| |
| D-Bus 1.1.1 (18 June 2007) |
| == |
| - This is a development release, unless you need specific |
| functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change |
| (though we will try hard not to) |
| - The bus daemon now generates a globally-unique ID for itself, which is available |
| using the convenience function dbus_bus_get_id(). Use this as a unique ID |
| for a user's session, for example. |
| - dbus_server_get_id(), dbus_connection_get_server_id() now available to access |
| the unique ID of a particular address |
| - dbus_watch_get_fd() deprecated since it had unclear cross-platform semantics. |
| dbus_watch_get_unix_fd() and dbus_watch_get_socket() replace it. |
| - support ANONYMOUS mechanism for authentication, which allows a client to |
| authenticate as nobody in particular |
| - add API dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() which will allow the message |
| stream to begin if the client auths as anonymous (otherwise, the client |
| will be dropped unless they auth as a user). |
| - the ANONYMOUS support means you can now use D-Bus (without a bus daemon) as |
| a protocol for a network service provided to anonymous Internet or LAN |
| clients |
| - many internal changes to better support the Windows port, though the |
| port is still not complete in this release |
| - some improved documentation and return_if_fail checks |
| - some small bug fixes |
| |
| D-Bus 1.1.0 (25 May 2007) |
| == |
| - first release in the development series, unless you need specific |
| functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change |
| (though we will try hard not to) |
| - better eavesdropping support now picks up reply messages for debugging |
| - .pc file now lists the directory the daemon is installed into (daemondir) |
| - GetAll call added to the properties interface |
| - support for message serialization added for use with external transports like |
| TUBES!!! |
| - many bugs fixed |
