1 D-Bus 1.7.2 (UNRELEASED)
5 · Under systemd, log to syslog only, not stderr, avoiding duplication
6 (fd.o #61399, #39987; Colin Walters, Dagobert Michelsen)
7 · Include alloca.h for alloca() if available, fixing compilation on
8 Solaris 10 (fd.o #63071, Dagobert Michelsen)
9 · Allow use of systemd-logind without the rest of systemd
10 (fd.o #62585, Martin Pitt)
11 · When built with CMake, link to librt and use the right path for
12 meinproc's XSLT stylesheets (fd.o #61637, Ralf Habacker)
15 · Do not claim that all bus clients have the dbus-daemon's credentials
16 (fd.o #61787, Ralf Habacker)
17 · Pick up local TCPv4 clients' credentials (process ID and session ID)
18 using GetExtendedTcpTable() (fd.o #61787, Ralf Habacker)
20 D-Bus 1.7.0 (2013-02-22)
23 The "Disingenuous Assertions" release.
25 This is a new development release, starting the 1.7.x branch. D-Bus 1.6
26 remains the recommended version for long-term-supported distributions
27 or the upcoming GNOME 3.8 release.
29 Build-time configuration changes:
31 • The --with-dbus-session-bus-default-address configure option is no longer
32 supported. Use the new --with-dbus-session-bus-connect-address and
33 --with-dbus-session-bus-listen-address options instead. On Windows, you
34 usually want them to have the same argument; on Unix, the defaults are
37 • Similarly, the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS CMake variable is no longer
38 supported; use the new DBUS_SESSION_BUS_LISTEN_ADDRESS and
39 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_CONNECT_ADDRESS variables instead.
41 • cmake/cross-compile.sh has been removed. Instead, please use a
42 cross-toolchain file (-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE) as documented at
43 <http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling>; or use Autotools
44 as documented in "info automake Cross-Compilation", and set
45 PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately.
49 • Man pages now require xmlto (or either xmlto or meinproc, if using CMake).
50 • man2html is no longer used.
54 • D-Bus Specification 0.20
55 · actually say that /org/freedesktop/DBus is the object that
56 implements o.fd.DBus (fd.o #51865, Colin Walters)
57 · various reorganisation for better clarity (fd.o #38252, Simon McVittie)
58 · stop claiming that all basic types work just like INT32 (strings don't!)
60 • The "source code" for the man pages is now Docbook XML, eliminating
61 the outdated duplicate copies used when building with CMake.
62 (fd.o #59805; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
66 • In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the system
67 bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)
69 • Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless warnings
70 with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932, Arun Raghavan)
72 • Merge <servicehelper> from system-local.conf if necessary (fd.o #51560,
75 • Under CMake, prefer xmlto over meinproc (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
77 • Stop duplicating CMake's own logic to find libexpat
78 (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
80 • Don't assume CMake host and build system are the same (fd.o #59733,
83 • Avoid deprecation warnings for GLib 2.35 (fd.o #59971, Simon McVittie)
86 · Check for functions in libpthread correctly, fixing compilation on
87 (at least) OpenBSD (fd.o #47239, Simon)
88 · Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927,
90 · Update sd-daemon.[ch] from systemd (fd.o #60681)
91 · Add partial support for QNX (fd.o #60339, fd.o #61176; Matt Fischer)
94 · The default session bus listening and connecting address is now
95 "autolaunch:", which makes D-Bus on Windows interoperate with itself
96 and GDBus "out of the box". Use the configure options and cmake variables
97 described above if you require a different autolaunch scope.
98 (fd.o #38201, Simon McVittie)
99 · Avoid a CMake warning under Cygwin (fd.o #59401, Ralf Habacker)
101 • Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
104 D-Bus 1.6.8 (2012-09-28)
107 The "Fix one thing, break another" release.
109 • Follow up to CVE-2012-3524: The additional hardening
110 work to use __secure_getenv() as a followup to bug #52202
111 broke certain configurations of gnome-keyring. Given
112 the difficulty of making this work without extensive
113 changes to gnome-keyring, use of __secure_getenv() is
116 D-Bus 1.6.6 (2012-09-28)
119 The "Clear the environment in your setuid binaries, please" release.
121 • CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables (fd.o #52202)
122 Thanks to work and input from Colin Walters, Simon McVittie,
123 Geoffrey Thomas, and others.
125 · Fix compilation on Solaris (fd.o #53286, Jonathan Perkin)
126 · Work around interdependent headers on OpenBSD by including sys/types.h
127 before each use of sys/socket.h (fd.o #54418, Brad Smith)
129 D-Bus 1.6.4 (2012-07-18)
132 • Detect that users are "at the console" correctly when configured with
133 a non-default path such as --enable-console-auth-dir=/run/console
134 (fd.o #51521, Dave Reisner)
136 • Remove an incorrect assertion from DBusTransport (fd.o #51657,
139 • Make --enable-developer default to "no" (regression in 1.6.2;
140 fd.o #51657, Simon McVittie)
143 · Launch dbus-daemon correctly if its path contains a space
144 (fd.o #49450, Wolfgang Baron)
146 D-Bus 1.6.2 (2012-06-27)
149 The "Ice Cabbage" release.
151 • Change how we create /var/lib/dbus so it works under Automake >= 1.11.4
152 (fd.o #51406, Simon McVittie)
154 • Don't return from dbus_pending_call_set_notify with a lock held on OOM
155 (fd.o #51032, Simon McVittie)
157 • Disconnect "developer mode" (assertions, verbose mode etc.) from
158 Automake maintainer mode. D-Bus developers should now configure with
159 --enable-developer. Automake maintainer mode is now on by default;
160 distributions can disable it with --disable-maintainer-mode.
161 (fd.o #34671, Simon McVittie)
163 • Automatically define DBUS_STATIC_BUILD in static-only Autotools builds,
164 fixing linking when targeting Windows (fd.o #33973; william, Simon McVittie)
167 · Check for libpthread under CMake on Unix (fd.o #47237, Simon McVittie)
169 D-Bus 1.6.0 (2012-06-05)
172 The “soul of this machine has improved” release.
174 This version starts a new stable branch of D-Bus: only bug fixes will
175 be accepted into 1.6.x. Other changes will now go to the 1.7.x branch.
177 Summary of changes since 1.4.x:
180 · PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE on Unix
181 · compiler support for 64-bit integers (int64_t or equivalent)
183 • D-Bus Specification v0.19
185 • New dbus-daemon features
186 · <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/> rules allow the service to
187 own names like com.example.Service.Instance3
188 · optional systemd integration when checking at_console policies
189 · --nopidfile option, mainly for use by systemd
190 · path_namespace and arg0namespace may appear in match rules

194 · functions to validate various string types (dbus_validate_path() etc.)
195 · dbus_type_is_valid()
196 · DBusBasicValue, a union of every basic type
199 · removed an unsafe reimplementation of recursive mutexes
200 · dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has far too many file descriptors
201 · dbus-daemon.exe --print-address works on Windows
202 · all the other bug fixes from 1.4.20
204 • Other major implementation changes
205 · on Linux, dbus-daemon uses epoll if supported, for better scalability
206 · dbus_threads_init() ignores its argument and behaves like
207 dbus_threads_init_default() instead
208 · removed the per-connection link cache, improving dbus-daemon performance
211 · optional Valgrind instrumentation (--with-valgrind)
212 · optional Stats interface on the dbus-daemon (--enable-stats)
213 · optionally abort whenever malloc() fails (--enable-embedded-tests
214 and export DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL=1)
216 Changes since 1.5.12:
218 • Be more careful about monotonic time vs. real time, fixing DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
219 spec-compliance (fd.o #48580, David Zeuthen)
221 • Don't use install(1) within the source/build trees, fixing the build as
222 non-root when using OpenBSD install(1) (fd.o #48217, Antoine Jacoutot)
224 • Add missing commas in some tcp and nonce-tcp addresses, and remove
225 an unused duplicate copy of the nonce-tcp transport in Windows builds
226 (fd.o #45896, Simon McVittie)
228 D-Bus 1.5.12 (2012-03-27)
231 The “Big Book of Science” release.
233 • Add public API to validate various string types:
234 dbus_validate_path(), dbus_validate_interface(), dbus_validate_member(),
235 dbus_validate_error_name(), dbus_validate_bus_name(), dbus_validate_utf8()
236 (fd.o #39549, Simon McVittie)
238 • Turn DBusBasicValue into public API so bindings don't need to invent their
239 own "union of everything" type (fd.o #11191, Simon McVittie)
241 • Enumerate data files included in the build rather than using find(1)
242 (fd.o #33840, Simon McVittie)
244 • Add support for policy rules like <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/>
245 in dbus-daemon (fd.o #46273, Alban Crequy)
248 · make dbus-daemon.exe --print-address (and --print-pid) work again
249 on Win32, but not on WinCE (fd.o #46049, Simon McVittie)
250 · fix duplicate case value when compiling against mingw-w64
251 (fd.o #47321, Andoni Morales Alastruey)
253 D-Bus 1.5.10 (2012-02-21)
256 The "fire in Delerium" release.
258 On Unix platforms, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE (as specified in POSIX 2008 Base
259 and SUSv2) is now required.
261 • D-Bus Specification 0.19:
262 · Formally define unique connection names and well-known bus names,
263 and document best practices for interface, bus, member and error names,
264 and object paths (fd.o #37095, Simon McVittie)
265 · Document the search path for session and system services on Unix, and
266 where they should be installed by build systems (fd.o #21620, fd.o #35306;
268 · Document the systemd transport (fd.o #35232, Lennart Poettering)
270 • Make dbus_threads_init() use the same built-in threading implementation
271 as dbus_threads_init_default(); the user-specified primitives that it
272 takes as a parameter are now ignored (fd.o #43744, Simon McVittie)
274 • Allow all configured auth mechanisms, not just one (fd.o #45106,
277 • Improve cmake build system (Ralf Habacker):
278 · simplify XML parser dependencies (fd.o #41027)
279 · generate build timestamp (fd.o #41029)
280 · only create batch files on Windows
281 · fix option and cache syntax
282 · add help-options target
283 · share dbus-arch-deps.h.in with autotools rather than having our
284 own version (fd.o #41033)
286 • Build tests successfully with older GLib, as found in e.g. Debian 6
287 (fd.o #41219, Simon McVittie)
289 • Avoid use of deprecated GThread API (fd.o #44413, Martin Pitt)
291 • Build documentation correctly if man2html doesn't support filenames on
292 its command-line (fd.o #43875, Jack Nagel)
294 • Improve test coverage. To get even more coverage, run the tests with
295 DBUS_TEST_SLOW=1 (fd.o #38285, #42811; Simon McVittie)
297 • Reduce the size of the shared library by moving functionality only used
298 by dbus-daemon, tests etc. into their internal library and deleting
299 unused code (fd.o #34976, #39759; Simon McVittie)
301 • Add dbus-daemon --nopidfile option, overriding the configuration, for
302 setups where the default configuration must include <pidfile/> to avoid
303 breaking traditional init, but the pid file is in fact unnecessary; use
304 it under systemd to improve startup time a bit (fd.o #45520,
307 • Optionally (if configured --with-valgrind) add instrumentation to debug
308 libdbus and associated tools more meaningfully under Valgrind
309 (fd.o #37286, Simon McVittie)
311 • Improve the dbus-send(1) man page (fd.o #14005, Simon McVittie)
313 • Make dbus-protocol.h compatible with C++11 (fd.o #46147, Marc Mutz)
315 • If tests are enabled and DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL is set in the environment,
316 abort on failure to malloc() (like GLib does), to turn runaway memory leaks
317 into a debuggable core-dump if a resource limit is applied (fd.o #41048,
320 • Don't crash if realloc() returns NULL in a debug build (fd.o #41048,
324 · Replace our broken reimplementation of recursive mutexes, which has
325 been broken since 2006, with an ordinary pthreads recursive mutex
326 (fd.o #43744; Sigmund Augdal, Simon McVittie)
327 · Use epoll(7) for a more efficient main loop in Linux; equivalent patches
328 welcomed for other OSs' equivalents like kqueue, /dev/poll, or Solaris
329 event ports (fd.o #33337; Simon McVittie, Ralf Habacker)
330 · When running under systemd, use it instead of ConsoleKit to check
331 whether to apply at_console policies (fd.o #39609, Lennart Poettering)
332 · Avoid a highly unlikely fd leak (fd.o #29881, Simon McVittie)
333 · Don't close invalid fd -1 if getaddrinfo fails (fd.o #37258, eXeC001er)
334 · Don't touch ~/.dbus and ~/.dbus-keyrings when running 'make installcheck'
335 (fd.o #41218, Simon McVittie)
336 · Stop pretending we respect XDG_DATA_DIRS for system services: the launch
337 helper doesn't obey environment variables to avoid privilege escalation
338 attacks, so make the system bus follow the same rules
339 (fd.o #21620, Simon McVittie)
342 · Find the dbus-daemon executable next to the shared library (fd.o #41558;
343 Jesper Dam, Ralf Habacker)
344 · Remove the faulty implementation of _dbus_condvar_wake_all (fd.o #44609,
347 D-Bus 1.5.8 (2011-09-21)
350 The "cross-metering" release.
352 In addition to dead code removal and refactoring, this release contains all
353 of the bugfixes from 1.4.16.
355 • Clean up dead code, and make more warnings fatal in development builds
356 (fd.o #39231, fd.o #41012; Simon McVittie)
358 • If full test coverage is requested via --enable-tests, strictly require
359 Python, pygobject and dbus-python, which are required by some tests; if not,
360 and Python is missing, skip those tests rather than failing
361 (fd.o #37847, Simon McVittie)
363 • When using cmake, provide the same version-info API in the installed headers
364 as for autotools (DBUS_VERSION, etc.) (fd.o #40905, Ralf Habacker)
366 • Add a regression test for fd.o #38005 (fd.o #39836, Simon McVittie)
368 • Make "NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh" not run configure (Colin Walters)
370 • Add _DBUS_STATIC_ASSERT and use it to check invariants (fd.o #39636,
373 • Fix duplicates in authors list (Ralf Habacker)
375 • Fix broken links from dbus-tutorial.html if $(htmldir) != $(docdir)
376 (fd.o #39879, Chris Mayo)
378 • Fix a small memory leak, and a failure to report errors, when updating
379 a service file entry for activation (fd.o #39230, Simon McVittie)
382 · Clean up (non-abstract) Unix sockets on bus daemon exit (fd.o #38656;
383 Brian Cameron, Simon McVittie)
384 · On systems that use libcap-ng but not systemd, drop supplemental groups
385 when switching to the daemon user (Red Hat #726953, Steve Grubb)
386 · Make the cmake build work again on GNU platforms (fd.o #29228,
388 · Fix compilation on non-C99 systems that have inttypes.h but not stdint.h,
389 like Solaris (fd.o #40313, Dagobert Michelsen)
390 · Define CMSG_ALIGN, CMSG_LEN, CMSG_SPACE on Solaris < 10
391 (fd.o #40235, Simon McVittie)
392 · Cope with Unixes that don't have LOG_PERROR, like Solaris 10
393 (fd.o #39987, Simon McVittie)
394 · Cope with platforms whose vsnprintf violates both POSIX and C99, like
395 Tru64, IRIX and HP-UX (fd.o #11668, Simon McVittie)
398 · Fix compilation on MSVC, which doesn't understand "inline" with its
399 C99 meaning (fd.o #40000; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
400 · Fix misuse of GPid in test/dbus-daemon.c (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)
401 · Fix cross-compilation to Windows with Automake (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)
403 D-Bus 1.5.6 (2011-07-29)
406 The "weird, gravy-like aftertaste" release.
408 In addition to new features and refactoring, this release contains all of the
409 bugfixes from 1.4.14.
411 Potentially incompatible (Bustle and similar debugging tools will need
412 changes to work as intended):
414 • Do not allow match rules to "eavesdrop" (receive messages intended for a
415 different recipient) by mistake: eavesdroppers must now opt-in to this
416 behaviour by putting "eavesdrop='true'" in the match rule, which will
417 not have any practical effect on buses where eavesdropping is not allowed
418 (fd.o #37890, Cosimo Alfarano)
422 • D-Bus Specification version 0.18 (fd.o #37890, fd.o #39450, fd.o #38252;
423 Cosimo Alfarano, Simon McVittie)
424 · add the "eavesdrop" keyword to match rules
425 · define eavesdropping, unicast messages and broadcast messages
426 · stop claiming that match rules are needed to match unicast messages to you
427 · promote the type system to be a top-level section
429 • Use DBUS_ERROR_OBJECT_PATH_IN_USE if dbus_connection_try_register_object_path
430 or dbus_connection_try_register_fallback fails, not ...ADDRESS_IN_USE,
431 and simplify object-path registration (fd.o #38874, Jiří Klimeš)
433 • Consistently use atomic operations on everything that is ever manipulated
434 via atomic ops, as was done for changes to DBusConnection's refcount in
435 1.4.12 (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
437 • Fix a file descriptor leak when connecting to a TCP socket (fd.o #37258,
440 • Make "make check" in a clean tree work, by not running tests until
441 test data has been set up (fd.o #34405, Simon McVittie)
443 • The dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has a very large number of file
444 descriptors (fd.o #23194, Simon McVittie)
446 • Refactor message flow through dispatching to avoid locking violations if
447 the bus daemon's message limit is hit; remove the per-connection link cache,
448 which was meant to improve performance, but now reduces it (fd.o #34393,
451 • Some cmake fixes (Ralf Habacker)
453 • Remove dead code, mainly from DBusString (fd.o #38570, fd.o #39610;
454 Simon McVittie, Lennart Poettering)
456 • Stop storing two extra byte order indicators in each D-Bus message
457 (fd.o #38287, Simon McVittie)
459 • Add an optional Stats interface which can be used to get statistics from
460 a running dbus-daemon if enabled at configure time with --enable-stats
461 (fd.o #34040, Simon McVittie)
463 • Fix various typos (fd.o #27227, fd.o #38284; Sascha Silbe, Simon McVittie)
465 • Documentation (fd.o #36156, Simon McVittie):
466 · let xsltproc be overridden as usual: ./configure XSLTPROC=myxsltproc
467 · install more documentation automatically, including man2html output
468 · put dbus.devhelp in the right place (it must go in ${htmldir})
471 · look for system services in /lib/dbus-1/system-services in addition to all
472 the other well-known locations; note that this should always be /lib,
473 even on platforms where shared libraries on the root FS would go in /lib64,
474 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar (fd.o #35229, Lennart Poettering)
475 · opt-in to fd passing on Solaris (fd.o #33465, Simon McVittie)
477 • Windows-specific (Ralf Habacker):
478 · fix use of a mutex for autolaunch server detection
479 · don't crash on malloc failure in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound
481 D-Bus 1.5.4 (2011-06-10)
484 Security (local denial of service):
486 • Byte-swap foreign-endian messages correctly, preventing a long-standing
487 local DoS if foreign-endian messages are relayed through the dbus-daemon
488 (backporters: this is git commit c3223ba6c401ba81df1305851312a47c485e6cd7)
489 (CVE-2011-2200, fd.o #38120, Debian #629938; Simon McVittie)
493 • The constant to use for an infinite timeout now has a name,
494 DBUS_TIMEOUT_INFINITE. It is numerically equivalent to 0x7fffffff (INT32_MAX)
495 which can be used for source compatibility with older versions of libdbus.
497 • If GLib and DBus-GLib are already installed, more tests will be built,
498 providing better coverage. The new tests can also be installed via
499 ./configure --enable-installed-tests
500 for system integration testing, if required. (fd.o #34570, Simon McVittie)
504 • Consistently use atomic operations for the DBusConnection's refcount,
505 fixing potential threading problems (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
507 • Don't use -Wl,--gc-sections by default: in practice the size decrease is
508 small (300KiB on x86-64) and it frequently doesn't work in unusual
509 toolchains. To optimize for minimum installed size, you should benchmark
510 various possibilities for CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, and set the best flags for
511 your particular toolchain at configure time. (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
513 • Use #!/bin/sh for run-with-tmp-session-bus.sh, making it work on *BSD
514 (fd.o #35880, Timothy Redaelli)
516 • Use ln -fs to set up dbus for systemd, which should fix reinstallation
517 when not using a DESTDIR (fd.o #37870, Simon McVittie)
519 • Windows-specific changes:
520 · don't try to build dbus-daemon-launch-helper (fd.o #37838, Mark Brand)
522 D-Bus 1.5.2 (2011-06-01)
525 The "Boar Hunter" release.
527 Notes for distributors:
529 This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing
530 to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their
531 toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:
533 ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
535 or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper.
539 • D-Bus Specification v0.17
540 · Reserve the extra characters used in signatures by GVariant
541 (fd.o #34529, Simon McVittie)
542 · Define the ObjectManager interface (fd.o #34869, David Zeuthen)
543 • Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
