| D-Bus 1.4.10 (2011-06-01) |
| == |
| |
| Notes for distributors: |
| |
| This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing |
| to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their |
| toolchain supports it reliably, via something like: |
| |
| ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro" |
| |
| or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper. |
| |
| Changes: |
| |
| • Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether |
| it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie) |
| • Allow --disable-gc-sections, in case your toolchain offers the |
| -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and -Wl,--gc-sections options |
| but they're broken, as seen on Solaris (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie) |
| • Install dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper in a more normal way |
| (fd.o #14512; Simon McVittie, loosely based on a patch from Luca Barbato) |
| • Ensure that maintainers upload documentation with the right permissions |
| (fd.o #36130, Simon McVittie) |
| • Log system-bus activation information to syslog (fd.o #35705, |
| Colin Walters) |
| • Log messages dropped due to quotas to syslog (fd.o #35358, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| • Make the nonce-tcp transport work on Unix (fd.o #34569, Simon McVittie) |
| • On Unix, if /var/lib/dbus/machine-id cannot be read, try /etc/machine-id |
| (fd.o #35228, Lennart Poettering) |
| • In the regression tests, don't report fds as "leaked" if they were open |
| on startup (fd.o #35173, Simon McVittie) |
| • Make dbus-monitor bail out if asked to monitor more than one bus, |
| rather than silently using the last one (fd.o #26548, Will Thompson) |
| • Clarify documentation (fd.o #35182, Simon McVittie) |
| • Clean up minor dead code and some incorrect error handling |
| (fd.o #33128, fd.o #29881; Simon McVittie) |
| • Check that compiler options are supported before using them (fd.o #19681, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| • Windows: |
| • Remove obsolete workaround for winioctl.h (fd.o #35083, Ralf Habacker) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.4.8 (2011-04-08) |
| == |
| |
| The "It's like the beginning of a lobster" release. |
| |
| • Rename configure.in to configure.ac, and update it to modern conventions |
| (fd.o #32245; Javier Jardón, Simon McVittie) |
| • Correctly give XDG_DATA_HOME priority over XDG_DATA_DIRS (fd.o #34496, |
| Anders Kaseorg) |
| • Prevent X11 autolaunching if $DISPLAY is unset or empty, and add |
| --disable-x11-autolaunch configure option to prevent it altogether |
| in embedded environments (fd.o #19997, NB#219964; Simon McVittie) |
| • Install the documentation, and an index for Devhelp (fd.o #13495, |
| Debian #454142; Simon McVittie, Matthias Clasen) |
| • If checks are not disabled, check validity of string-like types and |
| booleans when sending them (fd.o #16338, NB#223152; Simon McVittie) |
| • Add UnknownObject, UnknownInterface, UnknownProperty and PropertyReadOnly |
| errors to dbus-shared.h (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering) |
| • Break up a huge conditional in config-parser so gcov can produce coverage |
| data (fd.o #10887, Simon McVittie) |
| • List which parts of the Desktop Entry specification are applicable to |
| .service files (fd.o #19159, Sven Herzberg) |
| • Don't suppress service activation if two services have the same Exec= |
| (fd.o #35750, Colin Walters) |
| • Windows: |
| · Avoid the name ELEMENT_TYPE due to namespace-pollution from winioctl.h |
| (Andre Heinecke) |
| · Include _dbus_path_is_absolute in libdbus on Windows, fixing compilation |
| (fd.o #32805, Mark Brand) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.4.6 (2010-02-17) |
| == |
| |
| The "1, 2, miss a few, 99, 100" release. |
| |
| • Remove unfinished changes intended to support GTest-based tests, |
| which were mistakenly included in 1.4.4 |
| |
| D-Bus 1.4.4 (2010-02-17) |
| == |
| |
| • Switch back to using even micro versions for stable releases; 1.4.1 |
| should have been called 1.4.2, so skip that version number |
| • Don't leave bad file descriptors being watched when spawning processes, |
| which could result in a busy-loop (fd.o #32992, NB#200248; possibly |
| also LP#656134, LP#680444, LP#713157) |
| • Check for MSG_NOSIGNAL correctly |
| • Fix failure to detect abstract socket support (fd.o #29895) |
| • Make _dbus_system_logv actually exit with DBUS_SYSTEM_LOG_FATAL |
| (fd.o #32262, NB#180486) |
| • Improve some error code paths (fd.o #29981, fd.o #32264, fd.o #32262, |
| fd.o #33128, fd.o #33277, fd.o #33126, NB#180486) |
| • Avoid possible symlink attacks in /tmp during compilation (fd.o #32854) |
| • Tidy up dead code (fd.o #25306, fd.o #33128, fd.o #34292, NB#180486) |
| • Improve gcc malloc annotations (fd.o #32710) |
| • If the system bus is launched via systemd, protect it from the OOM killer |
| • Documentation improvements (fd.o #11190) |
| • Avoid readdir_r, which is difficult to use correctly (fd.o #8284, |
| fd.o #15922, LP#241619) |
| • Cope with invalid files in session.d, system.d (fd.o #19186, |
| Debian #230231) |
| • Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285, |
| fd.o #34292) |
| • Raise the system bus's fd limit to be sufficient for its configuration |
| (fd.o #33474, LP#381063) |
| • Fix syslog string processing |
| • Ignore -Waddress |
| • Remove broken gcov parsing code and --enable-gcov, and replace them |
| with lcov HTML reports and --enable-compiler-coverage (fd.o #10887) |
| • Windows: |
| · avoid live-lock in Windows CE due to unfair condition variables |
| • OpenBSD: |
| · support credentials-passing (fd.o #32542) |
| • Solaris: |
| · opt-in to thread safety (fd.o #33464) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010) |
| == |
| |
| • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can |
| crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously |
| only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic |
| nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this |
| issue. |
| • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support. |
| • Windows autolaunch improvements. |
| • Various bug fixes. |
| |
| D-Bus 1.4.0 (6 Sep 2010) |
| == |
| - systemd hookup |
| |
| D-Bus 1.3.1 (23 June 2010) |
| == |
| - New standardized PropertiesChanged signal in the properties interface |
| - Various portability fixes, in particular to Windows platforms |
| - Support forking bus services, for compatibility |
| |
| D-Bus 1.3.0 (29 July 2009) |
| == |
| - ability for dbus-send to send to any bus (--address) |
| - file descriptor passing on Unix socket transports |
| - use of GCC atomic intrinsics for better processor support |
| (requires -march=i486 or above for x86 compilation) |
| - thread-safe FD_CLOEXEC setting on recent Linux kernels (2.6.24-27 and up) |
| and glibc (2.9 for pipe2 and 2.10 for accept4) |
| - feature negotiation in the bus daemon |
