102 This release lands some very large API changes and numerous bugfixes.
103 The list of changes is too large to fully document here; please refer
104 to the documentation, and message-bus-list archives.
109 This is probably the last release before landing the large API changes
110 on the "dbus-object-names" branch.
112 - fix system bus to always use filesystem socket; anyone
113 can create any abstract socket, which isn't secure
114 since if you can crash the system bus you'd be able
116 - add DTD for configuration file
117 - improve specification a bit
122 - fix "service messagebus status" on Red Hat
123 - fix demarshaling of DBUS_TYPE_NAMED
124 - fix "eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session`" to exit properly
125 - fix build without --prefix
126 - useless fooling with Mono bindings
127 - useless fooling with gcj bindings
128 - fix srcdir != builddir
129 - fix various compiler warnings and other issues
130 - add get/set data to DBusMessage
131 - fix headers for C++
133 - abstract domain sockets support (Linux only)
134 - add dbus-cleanup-sockets utility for people
136 - be consistent about defaulting to --session/--system
137 with command line tools
138 - merge in policies from included config files
139 - fix build on non-x86
141 - lots of other bugfixes
146 - add --enable-docs to turn off/on the docbook stuff
147 (doesn't cover doxygen stuff yet)
148 - make people define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
149 and read warning in README so they don't
150 expect the API to be frozen already
151 - rename .pc files to "dbus-1.pc" instead of
152 "dbus-1.0.pc" etc. - this will require changing
153 pkg-config invocations
155 - add man pages for all executables
156 - allow send to/from bus driver in the default system.conf
157 - fix user lookup bug
158 - implement dbus-launch to launch the session message bus
159 - fix some thread deadlocks
160 - some performance profiling/optimization
161 - add dbus_bus_activate_service() function
162 - fix some minor bugs here and there
163 - install Red Hat initscript in the right place
168 - reversed order of args to dbus_message_new()
169 - renamed dbus_message_name_is() and some other

172 similar to dbus_timeout_handle(), drop
173 connection/server-specific handle routines
174 - change message serials to be unsigned
175 - implemented <allow>/<deny>/<limit> features for
176 config file; system bus now has a deny-all policy
178 - system.conf has <includedir>system.d</includedir>
179 so packages can install additions to the default
180 policy to <allow> the messages they need. e.g.
181 CUPS might install a cups.conf - see
182 test/data/valid-config-files/system.d/test.conf
184 - add timeouts for authentication, activation
185 - add glib-style "checks" on public API, enable
186 those by default, disable assertions by default
187 - add GMainContext argument to GLib setup functions,
188 can be NULL for default context. Needed for threads.
189 - add 64-bit integer type
190 - validate type of standard message header fields
191 - consider messages in the org.freedesktop.Local
192 namespace to be invalid (to avoid fake disconnect
193 messages for example)
194 - fix assorted memory leaks and other bugs in
195 the SHA-1 auth mechanism
196 - cache user database information (groups user is
197 in, etc.) helps a lot with NIS
198 - always store uid_t, pid_t, gid_t in "ulong"
200 - implement config file settings for which
203 - dbus-send, dbus-monitor command line utilities

214 main loop by adding a callback on change of

236 - more test suite additions
237 - many, many bugfixes
