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