+D-Bus 1.10.6 (2015-12-01)
+==
+
+The “marzipan beetles” release.
+
+Fixes:
+
+• On Unix when running tests as root, don't assert that root and
+ the dbus-daemon user can still call UpdateActivationEnvironment;
+ assert that those privileged users can call BecomeMonitor instead
+ (fd.o #93036, Simon McVittie)
+
+• On Windows, fix a memory leak in the autolaunch transport (fd.o #92899,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+• On Windows Autotools builds, don't run tests that rely on
+ dbus-run-session and other Unix-specifics (fd.o #92899, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.10.4 (2015-11-17)
+==
+
+The “Frostburn Canyon” release.
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• GetConnectionCredentials, GetConnectionUnixUser and
+ GetConnectionUnixProcessID with argument "org.freedesktop.DBus"
+ will now return details of the dbus-daemon itself. This is required
+ to be able to call SetEnvironment on systemd.
+ (fd.o #92857, Jan Alexander Steffens)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Make UpdateActivationEnvironment always fail with AccessDenied on the
+ system bus. Previously, it was possible to configure it so root could
+ call it, but the environment variables were not actually used,
+ because the launch helper would discard them.
+ (fd.o #92857, Jan Alexander Steffens)
+
+• On Unix with --systemd-activation on a user bus, make
+ UpdateActivationEnvironment pass on its arguments to systemd's
+ SetEnvironment method, solving inconsistency between the environments
+ used for traditional activation and systemd user-service activation.
+ (fd.o #92857, Jan Alexander Steffens)
+
+• On Windows, don't crash if <syslog/> or --syslog is used
+ (fd.o #92538, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• On Windows, fix a memory leak when setting a DBusError from a Windows
+ error (fd.o #92721, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• On Windows, don't go into infinite recursion if we abort the process
+ with backtraces enabled (fd.o #92721, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Fix various failing tests, variously on Windows and cross-platform:
+ · don't test system.conf features (users, groups) that only make sense
+ on the system bus, which is not supported on Windows
+ · don't call _dbus_warn() when we skip a test, since it is fatal
+ · fix computation of expected <standard_session_servicedirs/>
+ · when running TAP tests, translate newlines to Unix format, fixing
+ cross-compiled tests under Wine on Linux
+ · don't stress-test refcounting under Wine, where it's really slow
+ · stop assuming that a message looped-back to the test will be received
+ immediately
+ · skip some system bus tests on Windows since they make no sense there
+ (fd.o #92538, fd.o #92721; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.10.2 (2015-10-26)
+==
+
+The “worst pies in London” release.
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Correct error handling for activation: if there are multiple attempts
+ to activate the same service and it fails immediately, the first attempt
+ would get the correct reply, but the rest would time out. We now send
+ the same error reply to each attempt. (fd.o #92200, Simon McVittie)
+
+• If BecomeMonitor is called with a syntactically invalid match rule,
+ don't crash with an assertion failure, fixing a regression in 1.9.10.
+ This was not exploitable as a denial of service, because the check
+ for a privileged user is done first. (fd.o #92298, Simon McVittie)
+
+• On Linux with --enable-user-session, add the bus address to the
+ environment of systemd services for better backwards compatibility
+ (fd.o #92612, Jan Alexander Steffens)
+
+• On Windows, fix the logic for replacing the installation prefix
+ in service files' Exec lines (fd.o #83539; Milan Crha, Simon McVittie)
+
+• On Windows, if installed in the conventional layout with ${prefix}/etc
+ and ${prefix}/share, use relative paths between bus configuration files
+ to allow the tree to be relocated (fd.o #92028, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Make more of the regression tests pass in Windows builds (fd.o #92538,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.10.0 (2015-08-25)
+==
+
+The “0x20” release.
+
+This is a new stable branch, recommended for use in OS distributions.
+
+Fixes since 1.9.20:
+
+• distribute test/tap-test.sh.in, even if the tarball was built without
+ tests enabled (fd.o #91684, Simon McVittie)
+• work around a fd leak in libcap-ng < 0.7.7 (fd.o #91684, Simon McVittie)
+
+Summary of major changes since 1.8.0:
+
+• The basic setup for the well-known system and session buses is
+ now done in read-only files in ${datadir} (normally /usr/share).
+ See the NEWS entry for 1.9.18 for details.
+
+• AppArmor integration has been merged, with features similar to the
+ pre-existing SELinux integration. It is mostly compatible with the
+ patches previously shipped by Ubuntu, with one significant change:
+ Ubuntu's GetConnectionAppArmorSecurityContext method has been superseded
+ by GetConnectionCredentials and was not included.
+
+• The --enable-user-session configure option can be enabled
+ by OS integrators intending to use systemd to provide a session bus
+ per user (in effect, treating all concurrent graphical and non-graphical
+ login sessions as one large session).
+
+• The new listenable address mode "unix:runtime=yes" listens on
+ $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus, the same AF_UNIX socket used by the systemd
+ user session. libdbus and "dbus-launch --autolaunch" will connect to
+ this address by default. GLib ≥ 2.45.3 and sd-bus ≥ 209 have a
+ matching default.
+
+• All executables are now dynamically linked to libdbus-1.
+ Previously, some executables, most notably dbus-daemon, were statically
+ linked to a specially-compiled variant of libdbus. This results in
+ various private functions in the _dbus namespace being exposed by the
+ shared library. These are not API, and must not be used outside
+ the dbus source tree.
+
+• On platforms with ELF symbol versioning, all public symbols
+ are versioned LIBDBUS_1_3.
+
+New bus APIs:
+
+• org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionCredentials returns
+ LinuxSecurityLabel where supported
+• org.freedesktop.DBus.Monitoring interface (privileged)
+ · BecomeMonitor method supersedes match rules with eavesdrop=true,
+ which are now deprecated
+• org.freedesktop.DBus.Stats interface (semi-privileged)
+ · now enabled by default
+ · new GetAllMatchRules method
+• org.freedesktop.DBus.Verbose interface (not normally compiled)
+ · toggles the effect of DBUS_VERBOSE
+
+New executables:
+
+• dbus-test-tool
+• dbus-update-activation-environment
+
+New optional dependencies:
+
+• The systemd: pseudo-transport requires libsystemd or libsd-daemon
+• Complete documentation requires Ducktype and yelp-tools
+• Full test coverage requires GLib 2.36 and PyGI
+• AppArmor integration requires libapparmor and optionally libaudit
+
+Dependencies removed:
+
+• dbus-glib
+
+D-Bus 1.9.20 (2015-08-06)
+==
+
+The “Remember Tomorrow” release.
+
+This is a release-candidate for D-Bus 1.10.0. OS distribution vendors
+should test it.
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Don't second-guess what the ABI of poll() is, allowing it to be used
+ on Integrity RTOS and other unusual platforms (fd.o #90314;
+ Rolland Dudemaine, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Don't duplicate audit subsystem integration if AppArmor and SELinux are
+ both enabled (fd.o #89225, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Log audit events for AppArmor/SELinux policy violations whenever
+ we have CAP_AUDIT_WRITE, even if not the system bus
+ (fd.o #83856, Laurent Bigonville)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.18 (2015-07-21)
+==
+
+The “Pirate Elite” release.
+
+Configuration changes:
+
+• The basic setup for the well-known system and session buses is now done
+ in read-only files in ${datadir}, moving a step closer to systems
+ that can operate with an empty /etc directory. In increasing order
+ of precedence:
+
+ · ${datadir}/dbus-1/s*.conf now perform the basic setup such as setting
+ the default message policies.
+ · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*.conf are now optional. By default
+ dbus still installs a trivial version of each, for documentation
+ purposes; putting configuration directives in these files is deprecated.
+ · ${datadir}/dbus-1/s*.d/ are now available for third-party software
+ to install "drop-in" configuration snippets (any packages
+ using those directories should explicitly depend on at least this
+ version of dbus).
+ · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*.d/ are also still available for sysadmins
+ or third-party software to install "drop-in" configuration snippets
+ · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*-local.conf are still available for sysadmins'
+ overrides
+
+ ${datadir} is normally /usr/share, ${sysconfdir} is normally /etc,
+ and "s*" refers to either system or session as appropriate.
+
+ (fd.o #89280, Dimitri John Ledkov)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Fix a memory leak when GetConnectionCredentials() succeeds
+ (fd.o #91008, Jacek Bukarewicz)
+
+• Ensure that dbus-monitor does not reply to messages intended for others,
+ resulting in its own disconnection (fd.o #90952, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.16 (2015-05-14)
+==
+
+The “titanium barns” release.
+
+Dependencies:
+
+• Automake 1.13 is now required when compiling from git or modifying
+ the build system.
+
+Security hardening:
+
+• On Unix platforms, change the default configuration for the session bus
+ to only allow EXTERNAL authentication (secure kernel-mediated
+ credentials-passing), as was already done for the system bus.
+
+ This avoids falling back to DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, which relies on strongly
+ unpredictable pseudo-random numbers.
+
+ If you are using D-Bus over the (unencrypted!) tcp: or nonce-tcp: transport,
+ in conjunction with DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 and a shared home directory using
+ NFS or similar, you will need to reconfigure the session bus to accept
+ DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 by commenting out the <auth> element. This configuration
+ is not recommended.
+
+ (fd.o #90414, Simon McVittie)
+
+• When asked for random numbers for DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, the nonce-tcp:
+ transport, UUIDs or any other reason, fail if we cannot obtain entropy
+ (from /dev/urandom or CryptGenRandom()) or an out-of-memory condition
+ occurs, instead of silently falling back to low-entropy pseudorandom
+ numbers from rand(). (fd.o #90414; Simon McVittie, Ralf Habacker)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• Add dbus_message_iter_get_element_count()
+ (fd.o #30350; Christian Dywan, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Introduce new internal DBusSocket and DBusPollable types so we can
+ stop treating the Windows SOCKET type as if it was int. DBusSocket
+ is specifically a socket, cross-platform. DBusPollable is whatever
+ _dbus_poll() can act on, i.e. a fd on Unix or a SOCKET on Windows.
+ (fd.o #89444; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+• All regression tests now output TAP <https://testanything.org/>
+ (fd.o #89846, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Internal APIs consistently use signed values for timestamps
+ (fd.o #18494, Peter McCurdy)
+
+• Improve diagnostics when UpdateActivationEnvironment calls are rejected
+ (fd.o #88812, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Clean up a lot of compiler warnings
+ (fd.o #17289, fd.o #89284; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Add locking to DBusCounter's reference count and notify function
+ (fd.o #89297, Adrian Szyndela)
+
+• Ensure that DBusTransport's reference count is protected by the
+ corresponding DBusConnection's lock (fd.o #90312, Adrian Szyndela)
+
+• Correctly release DBusServer mutex before early-return if we run out
+ of memory while copying authentication mechanisms (fd.o #90021,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Make dbus-test-tool and dbus-update-activation-environment portable
+ to Windows (fd.o #90089, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Correctly initialize all fields of DBusTypeReader (fd.o #90021;
+ Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Fix some missing \n in verbose (debug log) messages (fd.o #90004,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Clean up some memory and fd leaks in test code and tools
+ (fd.o #90021, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Fix a NULL dereference if the dbus-daemon cannot read a configuration
+ directory for a reason that is not ENOENT (fd.o #90021, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• CMake generates a versioned shared library even if the revision is 0,
+ as it usually is on the development branch. (fd.o #89450, Ralf Habacker)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.14 (2015-03-02)
+==
+
+The “don't stand in the poison cloud” release.
+
+Dependencies:
+
+• dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper now require libdbus. They
+ were previously linked to a static version of libdbus.
+
+• The tests no longer require dbus-glib in order to exercise the libdbus
+ shared library; they are always linked to libdbus now.
+
+Build-time configuration:
+
+• The new --enable-user-session option, off by default, can be enabled
+ by OS integrators intending to use systemd to provide a session bus
+ per user (in effect, treating all concurrent graphical and non-graphical
+ login sessions as one large session)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• All executables are now linked dynamically to libdbus.
+ (fd.o #83115; Bertrand SIMONNET, Simon McVittie, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• On platforms that support them (GNU libc and possibly others),
+ libdbus now has versioned symbols for its public API.
+ All public symbols (visible in the header files) are currently
+ versioned as LIBDBUS_1_3; private symbols starting with _dbus or
+ dbus_internal have a version that changes with each release, and
+ must not be used by applications. (also fd.o #83115)
+
+• New listenable address mode "unix:runtime=yes" which listens on
+ a real filesystem (non-abstract) socket $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus
+ (fd.o #61303; Colin Walters, Alexander Larsson, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add optional systemd units for a per-user bus listening on
+ $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus (fd.o #61301; Simon McVittie, Colin Walters)
+
+• On Unix platforms, both libdbus and "dbus-launch --autolaunch"
+ default to connecting to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus if it is a socket
+ (also fd.o #61301)
+
+• New dbus-update-activation-environment tool uploads environment
+ variables to "dbus-daemon --session" and optionally "systemd --user",
+ primarily as a way to keep the per-user bus compatible with
+ distributions' existing X11 login scripts (also fd.o #61301)
+
+• <includedir/> elements in dbus-daemon configuration are now silently
+ ignored if the directory does not exist. (fd.o #89280, Dimitri John Ledkov)
+
+• Add microsecond-resolution timestamps to the default output of
+ dbus-monitor and dbus-send (fd.o #88896; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Fix a race condition in the 'monitor' test introduced in 1.9.10
+ (fd.o #89222, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.12 (2015-02-19)
+==
+
+The “monster lasagna” release.
+
+Dependencies:
+
+• Ducktype and yelp-tools are now required to build complete documentation
+ (they are optional for normal builds).
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification version 0.26
+ · GetConnectionCredentials can return LinuxSecurityLabel or WindowsSID
+ · document the BecomeMonitor method
+
+• On Linux, add LinuxSecurityLabel to GetConnectionCredentials
+ (fd.o #89041; Tyler Hicks, Simon McVittie)
+
+• On Linux, add support for AppArmor mediation of message sending and
+ receiving and name ownership (paralleling existing SELinux mediation
+ support), and eavesdropping (a new check, currently AppArmor-specific)
+ (fd.o #75113; John Johansen, Tyler Hicks, Simon McVittie)
+
+• In dbus-send and dbus-monitor, pretty-print \0-terminated bytestrings
+ that have printable ASCII contents; we previously only did this for
+ unterminated bytestrings (fd.o #89109, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add a guide to designing good D-Bus APIs (fd.o #88994, Philip Withnall)
+
+• On Windows, add WindowsSID to GetConnectionCredentials
+ (fd.o #54445, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Improve clarity of dbus-monitor --profile output and add more columns
+ (fd.o #89165, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Add a man page for dbus-test-tool, and build it under CMake as well
+ as Autotools (fd.o#89086, Simon McVittie)
+
+• If dbus-daemon was compiled with --enable-verbose, add a D-Bus API
+ to control it at runtime, overriding the DBUS_VERBOSE environment variable
+ (fd.o #88896, Ralf Habacker)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Reduce the number of file descriptors used in the fd-passing test,
+ avoiding failure under the default Linux fd limit, and automatically
+ skip it if the rlimit is too small (fd.o #88998, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.10 (2015-02-09)
+==
+
+The “sad cyborgs” release.
+
+Security fixes merged from 1.8.16:
+
+• Do not allow non-uid-0 processes to send forged ActivationFailure
+ messages. On Linux systems with systemd activation, this would
+ allow a local denial of service: unprivileged processes could
+ flood the bus with these forged messages, winning the race with
+ the actual service activation and causing an error reply
+ to be sent back when service auto-activation was requested.
+ This does not prevent the real service from being started,
+ so the attack only works while the real service is not running.
+ (CVE-2015-0245, fd.o #88811; Simon McVittie)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• The new Monitoring interface in the dbus-daemon lets dbus-monitor and
+ similar tools receive messages without altering the security properties
+ of the system bus, by calling the new BecomeMonitor method on a
+ private connection. This bypasses the normal <allow> and <deny> rules
+ entirely, so to preserve normal message-privacy assumptions, only root
+ is allowed to do this on the system bus. Restricted environments,
+ such as Linux with LSMs, should lock down access to the Monitoring
+ interface. (fd.o #46787, Simon McVittie)
+
+• dbus-monitor uses BecomeMonitor to capture more traffic, if the
+ dbus-daemon supports it and access permissions allow it.
+ It still supports the previous approach ("eavesdropping" match rules)
+ for compatibility with older bus daemons. (fd.o #46787, Simon)
+
+• dbus-monitor can now log the message stream as binary data for later
+ analysis, with either no extra framing beyond the normal D-Bus headers,
+ or libpcap-compatible framing treating each D-Bus message
+ as a captured packet. (fd.o #46787, Simon)
+
+Other fixes:
+
+• Fix some CMake build regressions (fd.o #88964, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• On Unix, forcibly terminate regression tests after 60 seconds to
+ prevent them from blocking continuous integration frameworks
+ (fd.o #46787, Simon)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.8 (2015-02-03)
+==
+
+The “all the types of precipitation” release.
+
+Dependencies:
+
+• full test coverage now requires GLib 2.36
+• full test coverage now requires PyGI (PyGObject 3,
+ "import gi.repository.GObject") instead of the
+ obsolete PyGObject 2 ("import gobject")
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• add GLib-style "installed tests" (fd.o #88810, Simon McVittie)
+
+• better regression test coverage, including systemd activation
+ (fd.o #57952, #88810; Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• fatal errors correctly make the dbus-daemon exit even if <syslog/> is
+ turned off (fd.o #88808, Simon McVittie)
+
+• TCP sockets on Windows no longer fail to listen approximately 1 time
+ in 256, caused by a logic error that should have always made it fail but
+ was mitigated by incorrect endianness for the port number
+ (fd.o #87999, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• fix some Windows build failures (fd.o #88009, #88010; Ralf Habacker)
+
+• on Windows, allow up to 8K connections to the dbus-daemon instead of the
+ previous 64, completing a previous fix which only worked under
+ Autotools (fd.o #71297, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• on Windows, if the IP family is unspecified only use IPv4,
+ to mitigate IPv6 not working correctly (fd.o #87999, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• fix some unlikely memory leaks on OOM (fd.o #88087, Simon McVittie)
+
+• lcov code coverage analysis works again (fd.o #88808, Simon McVittie)
+
+• fix an unused function error with --disable-embedded-tests (fd.o #87837,
+ Thiago Macieira)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.6 (2015-01-05)
+==
+
+The “I do have a bread knife” release.
+
+Security hardening:
+
+• Do not allow calls to UpdateActivationEnvironment from uids other than
+ the uid of the dbus-daemon. If a system service installs unsafe
+ security policy rules that allow arbitrary method calls
+ (such as CVE-2014-8148) then this prevents memory consumption and
+ possible privilege escalation via UpdateActivationEnvironment.
+
+ We believe that in practice, privilege escalation here is avoided
+ by dbus-daemon-launch-helper sanitizing its environment; but
+ it seems better to be safe.
+
+• Do not allow calls to UpdateActivationEnvironment or the Stats interface
+ on object paths other than /org/freedesktop/DBus. Some system services
+ install unsafe security policy rules that allow arbitrary method calls
+ to any destination, method and interface with a specified object path;
+ while less bad than allowing arbitrary method calls, these security
+ policies are still harmful, since dbus-daemon normally offers the
+ same API on all object paths and other system services might behave
+ similarly.
+
+Other fixes:
+
+• Add missing initialization so GetExtendedTcpTable doesn't crash on
+ Windows Vista SP0 (fd.o #77008, Илья А. Ткаченко)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.4 (2014-11-24)
+==
+
+The “extra-sturdy caramel” release.
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Partially revert the CVE-2014-3639 patch by increasing the default
+ authentication timeout on the system bus from 5 seconds back to 30
+ seconds, since this has been reported to cause boot regressions for
+ some users, mostly with parallel boot (systemd) on slower hardware.
+
+ On fast systems where local users are considered particularly hostile,
+ administrators can return to the 5 second timeout (or any other value
+ in milliseconds) by saving this as /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf:
+
+ <busconfig>
+ <limit name="auth_timeout">5000</limit>
+ </busconfig>
+
+ (fd.o #86431, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add a message in syslog/the Journal when the auth_timeout is exceeded
+ (fd.o #86431, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Send back an AccessDenied error if the addressed recipient is not allowed
+ to receive a message (and in builds with assertions enabled, don't
+ assert under the same conditions). (fd.o #86194, Jacek Bukarewicz)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.2 (2014-11-10)
+==
+
+The “structurally unsound flapjack” release.
+
+Security fixes:
+
+• Increase dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit to 65536
+ so that CVE-2014-3636 part A cannot exhaust the system bus'
+ file descriptors, completing the incomplete fix in 1.8.8.
+ (CVE-2014-7824, fd.o #85105; Simon McVittie, Alban Crequy)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification version 0.25
+ · new value 'const' for EmitsChangedSignal annotation
+ (fd.o #72958, Lennart Poettering)
+ · new ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION flag, for PolicyKit and similar
+ (fd.o #83449; Lennart Poettering, Simon McVittie)
+ · annotate table of types with reserved/basic/container, and for
+ basic types, fixed/string-like
+ · clarify arbitrary limits by quoting them in mebibytes
+
+• New API: add accessors for the ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION flag
+ (fd.o #83449, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add dbus-test-tool, a D-Bus swiss army knife with multiple subcommands,
+ useful for debugging and performance testing:
+ · dbus-test-tool spam: send repeated messages
+ · dbus-test-tool echo: send an empty reply for all method calls
+ · dbus-test-tool black-hole: do not reply to method calls
+ (fd.o #34140; Alban Crequy, Simon McVittie, Will Thompson)
+
+• Add support for process ID in credentials-passing on NetBSD
+ (fd.o #69702, Patrick Welche)
+
+• Add an example script to find potentially undesired match rules
+ (fd.o #84598, Alban Crequy)
+
+• Document the central assumption that makes our use of credentials-passing
+ secure (fd.o #83499, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Replace the dbus-glib section of the tutorial with a GDBus recommendation,
+ and add some links to GDBus and QtDBus documentation (fd.o #25140,

+
+Fixes:
+
+• Use a less confusing NoReply message when disconnected with a reply pending
+ (fd.o #76112, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Make the .pc file relocatable by letting pkg-config do all variable

+ do not lose the exec() errno (fd.o #24821, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Do not fail the tests if a parent process has leaked non-close-on-exec
+ file descriptors to us (fd.o #73689, fd.o #83899; Simon McVittie)
+
+• Do not fail the tests on Unix platforms with incomplete
+ credentials-passing support, but do fail if we can't pass credentials
+ on a platform where it is known to work: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD
+ (fd.o #69702, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Detect accept4, dirfd, inotify_init1, pipe2, and Unix fd passing
+ when building with cmake, and expand test coverage there
+ (fd.o #73689; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.0 (2014-10-01)
+==
+
+The “tiered cheeses” release.
+
+Requirements:
+
+• Support for the systemd: (LISTEN_FDS) pseudo-transport on Linux now
+ requires either the libsystemd or libsd-daemon shared library, dropping the
+ embedded convenience copy of sd-daemon (fd.o #71818, Simon)
+
+Build-time configuration changes:
+
+• The Stats interface is now enabled by default, and locked-down to
+ root-only on the system bus. Configure with --disable-stats
+ to disable it altogether on memory- or disk-constrained systems,
+ or see ${docdir}/examples/ to open it up to non-root users on the
+ system bus or restrict access on the session bus.
+ (fd.o #80759; Simon McVittie, Alban Crequy)
+
+• The CMake build system now builds the same shared library name as Autotools
+ on at least Linux and Windows:
+ - on Linux (and perhaps other Unix platforms), it previously built
+ libdbus-1.so, but now builds libdbus-1.so.3.* with development
+ symlink libdbus-1.so and SONAME/symlink libdbus-1.so.3
+ - on Windows, it previously built either libdbus-1.dll (release) or
+ libdbus-1d.dll (debug), but now builds libdbus-1-3.dll, copied to
+ libdbus-1.dll for compatibility with older applications.
+ (fd.o #74117, Ralf Habacker)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification version 0.24
+ · document how to quote match rules (fd.o #24307, Simon McVittie)
+ · explicitly say that most message types never expect a reply
+ regardles of whether they have NO_REPLY_EXPECTED
+ (fd.o #75749, Simon McVittie)
+
+• on Unix platforms, disable Nagle's algorithm on TCP connections to improve
+ initial latency (fd.o #75544, Matt Hoosier)
+
+• use backtrace() if it is in -lexecinfo instead of libc, as on NetBSD
+ (fd.o #69702, Patrick Welche)
+
+• in dbus-monitor, print more information about file descriptors
+ (fd.o #80603, Alban Crequy)
+
+• do not install system bus configuration if built for Windows
+ (fd.o #83583; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add GetAllMatchRules to the Stats interface (fd.o #24307, Alban Crequy)
+
+• Add a regression test for file descriptor passing (fd.o #83622,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• fix an incorrect error message if a Unix socket path is too long
+ (fd.o #73887, Antoine Jacoutot)
+
+• in an MSYS/Cygwin environment, pass Unix-style filenames to xmlto,
+ fixing documentation generation (fd.o #75860, Руслан Ижбулатов)
+
+• in Unix with X11, avoid giving dbus-launch a misleading argv[0]
+ in ps(1) (fd.o #69716, Chengwei Yang)
+
+• avoid calling poll() with timeout < -1, which is considered invalid
+ on FreeBSD and NetBSD (fd.o #78480, Jaap Boender)
+
+• be portable to BSD-derived platforms where O_CLOEXEC is unavailable in libc
+ (like Mac OS X 10.6), or available in libc but unsupported by the kernel
+ (fd.o #77032; rmvsxop, OBATA Akio, Patrick Welche)
+
+• Fix include path for test/internal/*.c with cmake (Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Documentation improvements
+ (fd.o #80795, #84313; Thomas Haller, Sebastian Rasmussen)
+
+• in dbus-monitor, do not leak file descriptors that we have monitored
+ (fd.o #80603, Alban Crequy)
+
+• Set the close-on-exec flag for the inotify file descriptor, even
+ if built with CMake or older libc (fd.o #73689, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Remove some LGPL code from the Windows dbus-daemon
+ (fd.o #57272, Ralf Habacker)
+
