1 D-Bus 1.1.4 - 1.2.0RC2 (17 January 2007)
3 - Fixes inotify support
5 D-Bus 1.1.3 - 1.2.0RC1 (15 January 2007)
8 - This release is intended to be Release Candidate 1 of major release
9 D-Bus 1.2.0. If nothing is found to be wrong with this release it
10 will become 1.2.0 within a week. If we need to make major changes
11 we will release an RC2 and start the process over again.
13 - This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
14 are found (though this is extreamly unlikely).
16 - DTD for the introspection format is fixed and uploaded to the servers
18 - Sources now reside in a git repository at
19 http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=dbus/dbus.git;a=summary
21 - Argument path matching of the type arg0path='/aa/bb/' is now supported
22 (see the specification for more information)
24 - New error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ObjectPathInUse added
26 - Autolaunched busses now save their parameters in X11 if possible making them
27 behave closer to busses launched through the normal mechanisms
29 - inotify is now the default backend for watching configuration file changes
31 - More support for the AIX platform has been added
33 - Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements
35 D-Bus 1.1.2 (27 July 2007)
38 - This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable
39 release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no
40 major problems are found. We'll do more betas if significant
43 - This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
44 are found (though we will try hard not to).
46 - The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a
47 setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody
48 user, while services it launches may need to run as a different
51 ***Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be
52 timely right now, before 1.2.0***
54 A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt
56 - The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be
57 actually usable. The dbus-daemon man page describes the new
58 elements in the address format. 1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces
59 flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner
62 - Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes
63 if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important
67 D-Bus 1.1.1 (18 June 2007)
69 - This is a development release, unless you need specific
70 functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
71 (though we will try hard not to)
72 - The bus daemon now generates a globally-unique ID for itself, which is available
73 using the convenience function dbus_bus_get_id(). Use this as a unique ID
74 for a user's session, for example.
75 - dbus_server_get_id(), dbus_connection_get_server_id() now available to access
76 the unique ID of a particular address
77 - dbus_watch_get_fd() deprecated since it had unclear cross-platform semantics.
78 dbus_watch_get_unix_fd() and dbus_watch_get_socket() replace it.
79 - support ANONYMOUS mechanism for authentication, which allows a client to
80 authenticate as nobody in particular
81 - add API dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() which will allow the message
82 stream to begin if the client auths as anonymous (otherwise, the client
83 will be dropped unless they auth as a user).
84 - the ANONYMOUS support means you can now use D-Bus (without a bus daemon) as
85 a protocol for a network service provided to anonymous Internet or LAN
87 - many internal changes to better support the Windows port, though the
88 port is still not complete in this release
89 - some improved documentation and return_if_fail checks
90 - some small bug fixes
92 D-Bus 1.1.0 (25 May 2007)
94 - first release in the development series, unless you need specific
95 functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
96 (though we will try hard not to)
97 - better eavesdropping support now picks up reply messages for debugging
98 - .pc file now lists the directory the daemon is installed into (daemondir)
99 - GetAll call added to the properties interface
100 - support for message serialization added for use with external transports like
