1 D-Bus 1.1.2 (27 July 2007)
4 - This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable
5 release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no
6 major problems are found. We'll do more betas if significant
9 - This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
10 are found (though we will try hard not to).
12 - The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a
13 setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody
14 user, while services it launches may need to run as a different
17 ***Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be
18 timely right now, before 1.2.0***
20 A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt
22 - The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be
23 actually usable. The dbus-daemon man page describes the new
24 elements in the address format. 1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces
25 flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner
28 - Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes
29 if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important
33 D-Bus 1.1.1 (18 June 2007)
35 - This is a development release, unless you need specific
36 functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
37 (though we will try hard not to)
38 - The bus daemon now generates a globally-unique ID for itself, which is available
39 using the convenience function dbus_bus_get_id(). Use this as a unique ID
40 for a user's session, for example.
41 - dbus_server_get_id(), dbus_connection_get_server_id() now available to access
42 the unique ID of a particular address
43 - dbus_watch_get_fd() deprecated since it had unclear cross-platform semantics.
44 dbus_watch_get_unix_fd() and dbus_watch_get_socket() replace it.
45 - support ANONYMOUS mechanism for authentication, which allows a client to
46 authenticate as nobody in particular
47 - add API dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() which will allow the message
48 stream to begin if the client auths as anonymous (otherwise, the client
49 will be dropped unless they auth as a user).
50 - the ANONYMOUS support means you can now use D-Bus (without a bus daemon) as
51 a protocol for a network service provided to anonymous Internet or LAN
53 - many internal changes to better support the Windows port, though the
54 port is still not complete in this release
55 - some improved documentation and return_if_fail checks
56 - some small bug fixes
58 D-Bus 1.1.0 (25 May 2007)
60 - first release in the development series, unless you need specific
61 functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
62 (though we will try hard not to)
63 - better eavesdropping support now picks up reply messages for debugging
64 - .pc file now lists the directory the daemon is installed into (daemondir)
65 - GetAll call added to the properties interface
66 - support for message serialization added for use with external transports like
