1 D-Bus 1.4.4 (UNRELEASED)
4 • Switch back to using even micro versions for stable releases; 1.4.1
5 should have been called 1.4.2, so skip that version number
6 • Don't leave bad file descriptors being watched when spawning processes,
7 which could result in a busy-loop (fd.o #32992, NB#200248; possibly
8 also LP#656134, LP#680444, LP#713157)
9 • Check for MSG_NOSIGNAL correctly
10 • Fix failure to detect abstract socket support (fd.o #29895)
11 • Make _dbus_system_logv actually exit with DBUS_SYSTEM_LOG_FATAL
12 (fd.o #32262, NB#180486)
13 • Improve some error code paths (fd.o #29981, fd.o #32264, fd.o #32262,
14 fd.o #33128, fd.o #33277, fd.o #33126, NB#180486)
15 • Avoid possible symlink attacks in /tmp during compilation (fd.o #32854)
16 • Tidy up dead code (fd.o #25306, fd.o #33128, NB#180486)
17 • Improve gcc malloc annotations (fd.o #32710)
18 • If the system bus is launched via systemd, protect it from the OOM killer
19 • Documentation improvements (fd.o #11190)
20 • Avoid readdir_r, which is difficult to use correctly (fd.o #8284,
21 fd.o #15922, LP#241619)
22 • Cope with invalid files in session.d, system.d (fd.o #19186,
24 • Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285)
25 • Raise the system bus's fd limit to be sufficient for its configuration
26 (fd.o #33474, LP#381063)
27 • Fix syslog string processing
30 · avoid live-lock in Windows CE due to unfair condition variables
32 · support credentials-passing (fd.o #32542)
34 · opt-in to thread safety (fd.o #33464)
36 D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
39 • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
40 crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
41 only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
42 nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
44 • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
45 • Windows autolaunch improvements.
48 D-Bus 1.4.0 (6 Sep 2010)
52 D-Bus 1.3.1 (23 June 2010)
54 - New standardized PropertiesChanged signal in the properties interface
55 - Various portability fixes, in particular to Windows platforms
56 - Support forking bus services, for compatibility
58 D-Bus 1.3.0 (29 July 2009)
60 - ability for dbus-send to send to any bus (--address)
61 - file descriptor passing on Unix socket transports
62 - use of GCC atomic intrinsics for better processor support
63 (requires -march=i486 or above for x86 compilation)
64 - thread-safe FD_CLOEXEC setting on recent Linux kernels (2.6.24-27 and up)
65 and glibc (2.9 for pipe2 and 2.10 for accept4)
66 - feature negotiation in the bus daemon
