1 D-Bus 1.6.10 (UNRELEASED)
4 • In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the system
5 bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)
7 • Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless warnings
8 with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932, Arun Raghavan)
10 • Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927, Michel HERMIER)
12 • Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
15 D-Bus 1.6.8 (2012-09-28)
18 The "Fix one thing, break another" release.
20 • Follow up to CVE-2012-3524: The additional hardening
21 work to use __secure_getenv() as a followup to bug #52202
22 broke certain configurations of gnome-keyring. Given
23 the difficulty of making this work without extensive
24 changes to gnome-keyring, use of __secure_getenv() is
27 D-Bus 1.6.6 (2012-09-28)
30 The "Clear the environment in your setuid binaries, please" release.
32 • CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables (fd.o #52202)
33 Thanks to work and input from Colin Walters, Simon McVittie,
34 Geoffrey Thomas, and others.
36 · Fix compilation on Solaris (fd.o #53286, Jonathan Perkin)
37 · Work around interdependent headers on OpenBSD by including sys/types.h
38 before each use of sys/socket.h (fd.o #54418, Brad Smith)
40 D-Bus 1.6.4 (2012-07-18)
43 • Detect that users are "at the console" correctly when configured with
44 a non-default path such as --enable-console-auth-dir=/run/console
45 (fd.o #51521, Dave Reisner)
47 • Remove an incorrect assertion from DBusTransport (fd.o #51657,
50 • Make --enable-developer default to "no" (regression in 1.6.2;
51 fd.o #51657, Simon McVittie)
54 · Launch dbus-daemon correctly if its path contains a space
55 (fd.o #49450, Wolfgang Baron)
57 D-Bus 1.6.2 (2012-06-27)
60 The "Ice Cabbage" release.
62 • Change how we create /var/lib/dbus so it works under Automake >= 1.11.4
63 (fd.o #51406, Simon McVittie)
65 • Don't return from dbus_pending_call_set_notify with a lock held on OOM
66 (fd.o #51032, Simon McVittie)
68 • Disconnect "developer mode" (assertions, verbose mode etc.) from
69 Automake maintainer mode. D-Bus developers should now configure with
70 --enable-developer. Automake maintainer mode is now on by default;
71 distributions can disable it with --disable-maintainer-mode.
72 (fd.o #34671, Simon McVittie)
74 • Automatically define DBUS_STATIC_BUILD in static-only Autotools builds,
75 fixing linking when targeting Windows (fd.o #33973; william, Simon McVittie)

80 D-Bus 1.6.0 (2012-06-05)
83 The “soul of this machine has improved” release.
85 This version starts a new stable branch of D-Bus: only bug fixes will
86 be accepted into 1.6.x. Other changes will now go to the 1.7.x branch.
88 Summary of changes since 1.4.x:
91 · PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE on Unix
92 · compiler support for 64-bit integers (int64_t or equivalent)
94 • D-Bus Specification v0.19
96 • New dbus-daemon features
97 · <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/> rules allow the service to
98 own names like com.example.Service.Instance3
99 · optional systemd integration when checking at_console policies
100 · --nopidfile option, mainly for use by systemd
101 · path_namespace and arg0namespace may appear in match rules
102 · eavesdropping is disabled unless the match rule contains eavesdrop=true
105 · functions to validate various string types (dbus_validate_path() etc.)
106 · dbus_type_is_valid()
107 · DBusBasicValue, a union of every basic type
110 · removed an unsafe reimplementation of recursive mutexes
111 · dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has far too many file descriptors
112 · dbus-daemon.exe --print-address works on Windows
113 · all the other bug fixes from 1.4.20
115 • Other major implementation changes
116 · on Linux, dbus-daemon uses epoll if supported, for better scalability
117 · dbus_threads_init() ignores its argument and behaves like
118 dbus_threads_init_default() instead
119 · removed the per-connection link cache, improving dbus-daemon performance
122 · optional Valgrind instrumentation (--with-valgrind)
123 · optional Stats interface on the dbus-daemon (--enable-stats)
124 · optionally abort whenever malloc() fails (--enable-embedded-tests
125 and export DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL=1)
127 Changes since 1.5.12:
129 • Be more careful about monotonic time vs. real time, fixing DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
130 spec-compliance (fd.o #48580, David Zeuthen)
132 • Don't use install(1) within the source/build trees, fixing the build as
133 non-root when using OpenBSD install(1) (fd.o #48217, Antoine Jacoutot)
135 • Add missing commas in some tcp and nonce-tcp addresses, and remove
136 an unused duplicate copy of the nonce-tcp transport in Windows builds
137 (fd.o #45896, Simon McVittie)
139 D-Bus 1.5.12 (2012-03-27)
142 The “Big Book of Science” release.
144 • Add public API to validate various string types:
145 dbus_validate_path(), dbus_validate_interface(), dbus_validate_member(),
146 dbus_validate_error_name(), dbus_validate_bus_name(), dbus_validate_utf8()
147 (fd.o #39549, Simon McVittie)
149 • Turn DBusBasicValue into public API so bindings don't need to invent their
150 own "union of everything" type (fd.o #11191, Simon McVittie)
152 • Enumerate data files included in the build rather than using find(1)
153 (fd.o #33840, Simon McVittie)
155 • Add support for policy rules like <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/>
156 in dbus-daemon (fd.o #46273, Alban Crequy)
159 · make dbus-daemon.exe --print-address (and --print-pid) work again
160 on Win32, but not on WinCE (fd.o #46049, Simon McVittie)
161 · fix duplicate case value when compiling against mingw-w64
162 (fd.o #47321, Andoni Morales Alastruey)
164 D-Bus 1.5.10 (2012-02-21)
167 The "fire in Delerium" release.
169 On Unix platforms, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE (as specified in POSIX 2008 Base
170 and SUSv2) is now required.
172 • D-Bus Specification 0.19:
173 · Formally define unique connection names and well-known bus names,
174 and document best practices for interface, bus, member and error names,
175 and object paths (fd.o #37095, Simon McVittie)
176 · Document the search path for session and system services on Unix, and
177 where they should be installed by build systems (fd.o #21620, fd.o #35306;
179 · Document the systemd transport (fd.o #35232, Lennart Poettering)
181 • Make dbus_threads_init() use the same built-in threading implementation
182 as dbus_threads_init_default(); the user-specified primitives that it
183 takes as a parameter are now ignored (fd.o #43744, Simon McVittie)
185 • Allow all configured auth mechanisms, not just one (fd.o #45106,
188 • Improve cmake build system (Ralf Habacker):
189 · simplify XML parser dependencies (fd.o #41027)
190 · generate build timestamp (fd.o #41029)
191 · only create batch files on Windows
192 · fix option and cache syntax
193 · add help-options target
194 · share dbus-arch-deps.h.in with autotools rather than having our
195 own version (fd.o #41033)
197 • Build tests successfully with older GLib, as found in e.g. Debian 6
198 (fd.o #41219, Simon McVittie)
200 • Avoid use of deprecated GThread API (fd.o #44413, Martin Pitt)
202 • Build documentation correctly if man2html doesn't support filenames on
203 its command-line (fd.o #43875, Jack Nagel)
205 • Improve test coverage. To get even more coverage, run the tests with
206 DBUS_TEST_SLOW=1 (fd.o #38285, #42811; Simon McVittie)
208 • Reduce the size of the shared library by moving functionality only used
209 by dbus-daemon, tests etc. into their internal library and deleting
210 unused code (fd.o #34976, #39759; Simon McVittie)
212 • Add dbus-daemon --nopidfile option, overriding the configuration, for
213 setups where the default configuration must include <pidfile/> to avoid
214 breaking traditional init, but the pid file is in fact unnecessary; use
215 it under systemd to improve startup time a bit (fd.o #45520,
218 • Optionally (if configured --with-valgrind) add instrumentation to debug
219 libdbus and associated tools more meaningfully under Valgrind
220 (fd.o #37286, Simon McVittie)
222 • Improve the dbus-send(1) man page (fd.o #14005, Simon McVittie)
224 • Make dbus-protocol.h compatible with C++11 (fd.o #46147, Marc Mutz)
226 • If tests are enabled and DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL is set in the environment,
227 abort on failure to malloc() (like GLib does), to turn runaway memory leaks
228 into a debuggable core-dump if a resource limit is applied (fd.o #41048,
231 • Don't crash if realloc() returns NULL in a debug build (fd.o #41048,
235 · Replace our broken reimplementation of recursive mutexes, which has
236 been broken since 2006, with an ordinary pthreads recursive mutex
237 (fd.o #43744; Sigmund Augdal, Simon McVittie)
238 · Use epoll(7) for a more efficient main loop in Linux; equivalent patches
239 welcomed for other OSs' equivalents like kqueue, /dev/poll, or Solaris
240 event ports (fd.o #33337; Simon McVittie, Ralf Habacker)
241 · When running under systemd, use it instead of ConsoleKit to check
242 whether to apply at_console policies (fd.o #39609, Lennart Poettering)
243 · Avoid a highly unlikely fd leak (fd.o #29881, Simon McVittie)
244 · Don't close invalid fd -1 if getaddrinfo fails (fd.o #37258, eXeC001er)
245 · Don't touch ~/.dbus and ~/.dbus-keyrings when running 'make installcheck'
246 (fd.o #41218, Simon McVittie)
247 · Stop pretending we respect XDG_DATA_DIRS for system services: the launch
248 helper doesn't obey environment variables to avoid privilege escalation
249 attacks, so make the system bus follow the same rules
250 (fd.o #21620, Simon McVittie)
253 · Find the dbus-daemon executable next to the shared library (fd.o #41558;
254 Jesper Dam, Ralf Habacker)
255 · Remove the faulty implementation of _dbus_condvar_wake_all (fd.o #44609,
258 D-Bus 1.5.8 (2011-09-21)
261 The "cross-metering" release.
263 In addition to dead code removal and refactoring, this release contains all
264 of the bugfixes from 1.4.16.
266 • Clean up dead code, and make more warnings fatal in development builds
267 (fd.o #39231, fd.o #41012; Simon McVittie)
269 • If full test coverage is requested via --enable-tests, strictly require
270 Python, pygobject and dbus-python, which are required by some tests; if not,
271 and Python is missing, skip those tests rather than failing
272 (fd.o #37847, Simon McVittie)
274 • When using cmake, provide the same version-info API in the installed headers
275 as for autotools (DBUS_VERSION, etc.) (fd.o #40905, Ralf Habacker)
277 • Add a regression test for fd.o #38005 (fd.o #39836, Simon McVittie)
279 • Make "NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh" not run configure (Colin Walters)
281 • Add _DBUS_STATIC_ASSERT and use it to check invariants (fd.o #39636,
284 • Fix duplicates in authors list (Ralf Habacker)
286 • Fix broken links from dbus-tutorial.html if $(htmldir) != $(docdir)
287 (fd.o #39879, Chris Mayo)
289 • Fix a small memory leak, and a failure to report errors, when updating
290 a service file entry for activation (fd.o #39230, Simon McVittie)
293 · Clean up (non-abstract) Unix sockets on bus daemon exit (fd.o #38656;
294 Brian Cameron, Simon McVittie)
295 · On systems that use libcap-ng but not systemd, drop supplemental groups
296 when switching to the daemon user (Red Hat #726953, Steve Grubb)
297 · Make the cmake build work again on GNU platforms (fd.o #29228,
299 · Fix compilation on non-C99 systems that have inttypes.h but not stdint.h,
300 like Solaris (fd.o #40313, Dagobert Michelsen)
301 · Define CMSG_ALIGN, CMSG_LEN, CMSG_SPACE on Solaris < 10
302 (fd.o #40235, Simon McVittie)
303 · Cope with Unixes that don't have LOG_PERROR, like Solaris 10
304 (fd.o #39987, Simon McVittie)
305 · Cope with platforms whose vsnprintf violates both POSIX and C99, like
306 Tru64, IRIX and HP-UX (fd.o #11668, Simon McVittie)
309 · Fix compilation on MSVC, which doesn't understand "inline" with its
310 C99 meaning (fd.o #40000; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
311 · Fix misuse of GPid in test/dbus-daemon.c (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)
312 · Fix cross-compilation to Windows with Automake (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)
314 D-Bus 1.5.6 (2011-07-29)
317 The "weird, gravy-like aftertaste" release.
319 In addition to new features and refactoring, this release contains all of the
320 bugfixes from 1.4.14.
322 Potentially incompatible (Bustle and similar debugging tools will need
323 changes to work as intended):
325 • Do not allow match rules to "eavesdrop" (receive messages intended for a
326 different recipient) by mistake: eavesdroppers must now opt-in to this
327 behaviour by putting "eavesdrop='true'" in the match rule, which will
328 not have any practical effect on buses where eavesdropping is not allowed
329 (fd.o #37890, Cosimo Alfarano)
333 • D-Bus Specification version 0.18 (fd.o #37890, fd.o #39450, fd.o #38252;
334 Cosimo Alfarano, Simon McVittie)
335 · add the "eavesdrop" keyword to match rules
336 · define eavesdropping, unicast messages and broadcast messages
337 · stop claiming that match rules are needed to match unicast messages to you
338 · promote the type system to be a top-level section
340 • Use DBUS_ERROR_OBJECT_PATH_IN_USE if dbus_connection_try_register_object_path
341 or dbus_connection_try_register_fallback fails, not ...ADDRESS_IN_USE,
342 and simplify object-path registration (fd.o #38874, Jiří Klimeš)
344 • Consistently use atomic operations on everything that is ever manipulated
345 via atomic ops, as was done for changes to DBusConnection's refcount in
346 1.4.12 (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
348 • Fix a file descriptor leak when connecting to a TCP socket (fd.o #37258,
351 • Make "make check" in a clean tree work, by not running tests until
352 test data has been set up (fd.o #34405, Simon McVittie)
354 • The dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has a very large number of file
355 descriptors (fd.o #23194, Simon McVittie)
357 • Refactor message flow through dispatching to avoid locking violations if
358 the bus daemon's message limit is hit; remove the per-connection link cache,
359 which was meant to improve performance, but now reduces it (fd.o #34393,
362 • Some cmake fixes (Ralf Habacker)
364 • Remove dead code, mainly from DBusString (fd.o #38570, fd.o #39610;
365 Simon McVittie, Lennart Poettering)
367 • Stop storing two extra byte order indicators in each D-Bus message
368 (fd.o #38287, Simon McVittie)
370 • Add an optional Stats interface which can be used to get statistics from
371 a running dbus-daemon if enabled at configure time with --enable-stats
372 (fd.o #34040, Simon McVittie)
374 • Fix various typos (fd.o #27227, fd.o #38284; Sascha Silbe, Simon McVittie)
376 • Documentation (fd.o #36156, Simon McVittie):
377 · let xsltproc be overridden as usual: ./configure XSLTPROC=myxsltproc
378 · install more documentation automatically, including man2html output
379 · put dbus.devhelp in the right place (it must go in ${htmldir})
382 · look for system services in /lib/dbus-1/system-services in addition to all
383 the other well-known locations; note that this should always be /lib,
384 even on platforms where shared libraries on the root FS would go in /lib64,
385 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar (fd.o #35229, Lennart Poettering)
386 · opt-in to fd passing on Solaris (fd.o #33465, Simon McVittie)
388 • Windows-specific (Ralf Habacker):
389 · fix use of a mutex for autolaunch server detection
390 · don't crash on malloc failure in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound
392 D-Bus 1.5.4 (2011-06-10)
395 Security (local denial of service):
397 • Byte-swap foreign-endian messages correctly, preventing a long-standing
398 local DoS if foreign-endian messages are relayed through the dbus-daemon
399 (backporters: this is git commit c3223ba6c401ba81df1305851312a47c485e6cd7)
400 (CVE-2011-2200, fd.o #38120, Debian #629938; Simon McVittie)
404 • The constant to use for an infinite timeout now has a name,
405 DBUS_TIMEOUT_INFINITE. It is numerically equivalent to 0x7fffffff (INT32_MAX)
406 which can be used for source compatibility with older versions of libdbus.
408 • If GLib and DBus-GLib are already installed, more tests will be built,
409 providing better coverage. The new tests can also be installed via
410 ./configure --enable-installed-tests
411 for system integration testing, if required. (fd.o #34570, Simon McVittie)
415 • Consistently use atomic operations for the DBusConnection's refcount,
416 fixing potential threading problems (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
418 • Don't use -Wl,--gc-sections by default: in practice the size decrease is
419 small (300KiB on x86-64) and it frequently doesn't work in unusual
420 toolchains. To optimize for minimum installed size, you should benchmark
421 various possibilities for CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, and set the best flags for
422 your particular toolchain at configure time. (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
424 • Use #!/bin/sh for run-with-tmp-session-bus.sh, making it work on *BSD
425 (fd.o #35880, Timothy Redaelli)
427 • Use ln -fs to set up dbus for systemd, which should fix reinstallation
428 when not using a DESTDIR (fd.o #37870, Simon McVittie)
430 • Windows-specific changes:
431 · don't try to build dbus-daemon-launch-helper (fd.o #37838, Mark Brand)
433 D-Bus 1.5.2 (2011-06-01)
436 The "Boar Hunter" release.
438 Notes for distributors:
440 This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing
441 to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their
442 toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:
444 ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
446 or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper.
450 • D-Bus Specification v0.17
451 · Reserve the extra characters used in signatures by GVariant
452 (fd.o #34529, Simon McVittie)
453 · Define the ObjectManager interface (fd.o #34869, David Zeuthen)
454 • Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
455 it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie)
456 • Allow --disable-gc-sections, in case your toolchain offers the
457 -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and -Wl,--gc-sections options
458 but they're broken, as seen on Solaris (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
459 • Install dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper in a more normal way
460 (fd.o #14512; Simon McVittie, loosely based on a patch from Luca Barbato)
461 • Ensure that maintainers upload documentation with the right permissions
462 (fd.o #36130, Simon McVittie)
463 • Don't force users of libdbus to be linked against -lpthread, -lrt
464 (fd.o #32827, Simon McVittie)
465 • Log system-bus activation information to syslog (fd.o #35705,
467 • Log messages dropped due to quotas to syslog (fd.o #35358,
469 • Make the nonce-tcp transport work on Unix (fd.o #34569, Simon McVittie)
470 • On Unix, if /var/lib/dbus/machine-id cannot be read, try /etc/machine-id
471 (fd.o #35228, Lennart Poettering)
472 • In the regression tests, don't report fds as "leaked" if they were open
473 on startup (fd.o #35173, Simon McVittie)
474 • Make dbus-monitor bail out if asked to monitor more than one bus,
475 rather than silently using the last one (fd.o #26548, Will Thompson)
476 • Clarify documentation (fd.o #35182, Simon McVittie)
477 • Clean up minor dead code and some incorrect error handling
478 (fd.o #33128, fd.o #29881; Simon McVittie)
479 • Check that compiler options are supported before using them (fd.o #19681,
482 • Remove obsolete workaround for winioctl.h (fd.o #35083, Ralf Habacker)
484 D-Bus 1.5.0 (2011-04-11)
487 The "you never know when you need to tow something from your giant
488 flying shark" release.
490 • D-Bus Specification v0.16
491 · Add support for path_namespace and arg0namespace in match rules
492 (fd.o #24317, #34870; Will Thompson, David Zeuthen, Simon McVittie)
493 · Make argNpath support object paths, not just object-path-like strings,
494 and document it better (fd.o #31818, Will Thompson)
495 • Let the bus daemon implement more than one interface (fd.o #33757,
497 • Optimize _dbus_string_replace_len to reduce waste (fd.o #21261,
499 • Require user intervention to compile with missing 64-bit support
500 (fd.o #35114, Simon McVittie)
501 • Add dbus_type_is_valid as public API (fd.o #20496, Simon McVittie)
502 • Raise UnknownObject instead of UnknownMethod for calls to methods on
503 paths that are not part of the object tree, and UnknownInterface for calls
504 to unknown interfaces in the bus daemon (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering)
506 D-Bus 1.4.8 (2011-04-08)
509 The "It's like the beginning of a lobster" release.
511 • Rename configure.in to configure.ac, and update it to modern conventions
512 (fd.o #32245; Javier Jardón, Simon McVittie)
513 • Correctly give XDG_DATA_HOME priority over XDG_DATA_DIRS (fd.o #34496,
515 • Prevent X11 autolaunching if $DISPLAY is unset or empty, and add
516 --disable-x11-autolaunch configure option to prevent it altogether
517 in embedded environments (fd.o #19997, NB#219964; Simon McVittie)
518 • Install the documentation, and an index for Devhelp (fd.o #13495,
519 Debian #454142; Simon McVittie, Matthias Clasen)
520 • If checks are not disabled, check validity of string-like types and

586 crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
587 only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
588 nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
590 • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
