+D-Bus 1.0.0 (08 November 2006)
+==
+- Documents updated with API/ABI garuntees
+- Added missing patch FreeBSD need to run out of the box
+- dbus-monitor now has a profile mode
+- AUTHORS file updated with names from the ChangeLog
+ Thanks to everyone who helped get us here
+
+D-Bus 1.0 RC 3 (0.95) (02 November 2006)
+==
+- DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE no longer needs to be defined when building apps
+- ./configure checks now work when cross compiling
+- dbus-uuidgen --ensure is now run in the init script so there is no need to
+ run it in a post script
+- dbus-uuidgen now writes out to /var/lib/dbus to work with systems that do not
+ have a writable /etc. Packages should install and own the /var/lib/dbus
+ directory
+- recursive locks are now used when dbus_threads_init_default is called
+- standard_session_servicedirs tag added to the session.conf
+ under a normal build this specifies these service directories:
+ /usr/local/share/dbus-1/services
+ /usr/share/dbus-1/services
+ $HOME/.local/share/dbus-1/services
+- fixed crash when a service directory is specified more than once
+- fixed a crash in *BSD when watching config directories for changes
+- fixed Irix build by using dirp->__dd_fd to get the file descriptor
+- cleaned up the LOCAL_CREDS vs CMGCRED credential code so *BSD's don't
+ crash here anymore
+- dbus_message_iter_get_array_len deprecated
+- cleanup-man-pages.sh added so packagers can clean up Doxygen man page output
+ from 7 to 2 megs
+- large documentation improvements
+- numerous bug fixes
+
+D-Bus 1.0 RC 2 (0.94) (14 October 2006)
+==
+- dbus-uuidgen binary added for future remote machine identification
+ packagers should call dbus-uuidgen --ensure in their post
+- GetMachineId peer method added to the bus API
+- dbus_connection_set_route_peer_messages API added to let the bus send
+ peer messages directly to an app
+- Autolaunch abilities added to dbus-launch with the --autolaunch flag
+ This feature allows libdbus to start a session bus if none can be found
+ This is an internal feature and should not be used by scripts
+ DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is still the correct way to specify a session bus
+- dbus-launch now prints out a simple key value pairs instead of shell scripts
+ if one of the shell flags aren't used
+- support DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT env variable to cause blocking waiting for gdb
+- weak ref are now held for shared connections so the right things happen
+ this fixes some pretty major bugs with the way connections were handled
+- Some refactoring for Windows (doesn't effect Unix)
+- Solaris build fixes
+- MacOSX build fixes
+- Cross compile build fixes. We now assume getpwnam_r is posix and va_lists
+ can be copied by value since we can't check this in a cross compile. If
+ this is not true for a particular target is up to the developer to patch.
+- Bug fixing all around
+
+D-Bus 1.0 RC 1 (0.93) (14 September 2006)
+==
+- dbus_threads_init_default added for initalizing threads without the need for
+ bindings
+- Filters are now properly removed
+- dbus_connection_open now holds a hard ref to shared connections
+- We now print out a warning and do nothing when someone tries to close a
+ shared connection
+- The --introspect switch has been added to the bus for printing out
+ introspection data without actually running the bus
+- LOCAL_CREDS socket credentials are now supported for systems which
+ support it such as NetBSD
+- Generalize kqueue support so it works with NetBSD as well as FreeBSD
+- Numerous bug fixes and memory leaks patched
+
+D-Bus 0.92 (18 August 2006)
+==
+- Proper thread locking added to pending calls
+- Threading semantics changed from init early to init before the second thread
+ is started
+- Correctly error out when an application tries to acquire or release the
+ org.freedesktop.DBus name instead of sending false result codes
+- kqueue directory watching code can now be used to monitor config file changes
+ on FreeBSD
+- --with-dbus-daemondir configure switch added so the daemon can be installed
+ separate from the user binaries
+- Makefiles fixed for cygwin
+- Various fixes for the ongoing Windows port
+- Fixed docs and comments to use the D-Bus spelling instead of D-BUS
+- Many memleaks and bugs fixed
+
+D-Bus 0.91 (24 July 2006)
+==
+- Remove some lingering bits left over from the bindings split
+- Fix assertion causing D-Bus applications to crash when checks are enabled
+- Fix a timeout bug which would block applications from being auto started
+
+D-Bus 0.90 (17 July 2006)
+==
+- API/ABI freeze for 1.0
+- Bindings are now split out into seperate packages
+- ListActivatableNames added as a method on the bus
+- Removed deprecated dbus_connection_disconnect (use dbus_connection_close)
+- Shared connections are now unreffed on disconnect
+- Fixed pending calls for threaded enviornments
+- Pending calls get timed out on connection disconnect
+- dbus_connection_send_with_reply returns TRUE and a NULL pending call
+ if you call it on a connection object which has been disconnected already
+ (it returns FALSE on Out of Memory errors only)
+- dbus-monitor now correctly catches methods, not just signals
+- dbus-monitor now prints object paths
