46 This release lands some very large API changes and numerous bugfixes.
47 The list of changes is too large to fully document here; please refer
48 to the documentation, and message-bus-list archives.
53 This is probably the last release before landing the large API changes
54 on the "dbus-object-names" branch.
56 - fix system bus to always use filesystem socket; anyone
57 can create any abstract socket, which isn't secure
58 since if you can crash the system bus you'd be able
60 - add DTD for configuration file
61 - improve specification a bit
66 - fix "service messagebus status" on Red Hat
67 - fix demarshaling of DBUS_TYPE_NAMED
68 - fix "eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session`" to exit properly
69 - fix build without --prefix
70 - useless fooling with Mono bindings
71 - useless fooling with gcj bindings
72 - fix srcdir != builddir
73 - fix various compiler warnings and other issues
74 - add get/set data to DBusMessage
77 - abstract domain sockets support (Linux only)
78 - add dbus-cleanup-sockets utility for people
80 - be consistent about defaulting to --session/--system
81 with command line tools
82 - merge in policies from included config files
83 - fix build on non-x86
85 - lots of other bugfixes
90 - add --enable-docs to turn off/on the docbook stuff
91 (doesn't cover doxygen stuff yet)
92 - make people define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
93 and read warning in README so they don't
94 expect the API to be frozen already
95 - rename .pc files to "dbus-1.pc" instead of
96 "dbus-1.0.pc" etc. - this will require changing
97 pkg-config invocations
99 - add man pages for all executables
100 - allow send to/from bus driver in the default system.conf
101 - fix user lookup bug
102 - implement dbus-launch to launch the session message bus
103 - fix some thread deadlocks
104 - some performance profiling/optimization
105 - add dbus_bus_activate_service() function
106 - fix some minor bugs here and there
107 - install Red Hat initscript in the right place
112 - reversed order of args to dbus_message_new()
113 - renamed dbus_message_name_is() and some other
115 - change DBusWatch to have dbus_watch_handle()
116 similar to dbus_timeout_handle(), drop
117 connection/server-specific handle routines
118 - change message serials to be unsigned
119 - implemented <allow>/<deny>/<limit> features for
120 config file; system bus now has a deny-all policy
122 - system.conf has <includedir>system.d</includedir>
123 so packages can install additions to the default
124 policy to <allow> the messages they need. e.g.
125 CUPS might install a cups.conf - see
126 test/data/valid-config-files/system.d/test.conf
128 - add timeouts for authentication, activation
129 - add glib-style "checks" on public API, enable
130 those by default, disable assertions by default
131 - add GMainContext argument to GLib setup functions,
132 can be NULL for default context. Needed for threads.
133 - add 64-bit integer type
134 - validate type of standard message header fields
135 - consider messages in the org.freedesktop.Local
136 namespace to be invalid (to avoid fake disconnect
137 messages for example)
138 - fix assorted memory leaks and other bugs in
139 the SHA-1 auth mechanism
140 - cache user database information (groups user is
141 in, etc.) helps a lot with NIS
142 - always store uid_t, pid_t, gid_t in "ulong"
144 - implement config file settings for which
147 - dbus-send, dbus-monitor command line utilities
148 - fixed lots of misc crashes and other bugs

154 and fixed many bugs exposed by that

158 main loop by adding a callback on change of
160 - add a pidfile feature to daemon

164 to create a random server address
165 in a temporary directory
170 - fix dumb bug in 0.7
