-D-Bus 1.7.0 (UNRELEASED)
+D-Bus 1.7.2 (UNRELEASED)
==
+Configuration changes:
+
+• On non-QNX Unix platforms, the default limit on fds per message in the
+ session bus configuration has reduced from 4096 to 1024. The default
+ limit used on the system bus was already 1024. On QNX, both limits are
+ reduced further, to 128.
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification 0.21
+ · Following Unicode Corrigendum #9, the noncharacters U+nFFFE, U+nFFFF,
+ U+FDD0..U+FDEF are allowed in UTF-8 strings again. (fd.o #63072,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Diagnose incorrect use of dbus_connection_get_data() with negative slot
+ (i.e. before allocating the slot) rather than returning junk
+ (fd.o #63127, Dan Williams)
+
+• Fix a cmake build regression since 1.7.0 (fd.o #63682; Ralf Habacker,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+• Unix-specific:
+ · Under systemd, log to syslog only, not stderr, avoiding duplication
+ (fd.o #61399, #39987; Colin Walters, Dagobert Michelsen)
+ · Under systemd, remove unnecessary dependency on syslog.socket
+ (fd.o #63531, Cristian Rodríguez)
+ · Include alloca.h for alloca() if available, fixing compilation on
+ Solaris 10 (fd.o #63071, Dagobert Michelsen)
+ · Allow use of systemd-logind without the rest of systemd
+ (fd.o #62585, Martin Pitt)
+ · When built with CMake, link to librt and use the right path for
+ meinproc's XSLT stylesheets (fd.o #61637, Ralf Habacker)
+ · Reduce the default limit on number of fds per message to 128 under
+ QNX, working around an arbitrary OS limit (fd.o #61176, Matt Fischer)
+
+• Windows-specific:
+ · Do not claim that all bus clients have the dbus-daemon's credentials;
+ pick up local TCPv4 clients' credentials (process ID and security
+ identifier, i.e. user) using GetExtendedTcpTable() (fd.o #61787,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+
+D-Bus 1.7.0 (2013-02-22)
+==
+
+The "Disingenuous Assertions" release.
+
+This is a new development release, starting the 1.7.x branch. D-Bus 1.6
+remains the recommended version for long-term-supported distributions
+or the upcoming GNOME 3.8 release.
+
+Build-time configuration changes:
+
+• The --with-dbus-session-bus-default-address configure option is no longer
+ supported. Use the new --with-dbus-session-bus-connect-address and
+ --with-dbus-session-bus-listen-address options instead. On Windows, you
+ usually want them to have the same argument; on Unix, the defaults are
+ usually correct.
+
+• Similarly, the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS CMake variable is no longer
+ supported; use the new DBUS_SESSION_BUS_LISTEN_ADDRESS and
+ DBUS_SESSION_BUS_CONNECT_ADDRESS variables instead.
+
+• cmake/cross-compile.sh has been removed. Instead, please use a
+ cross-toolchain file (-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE) as documented at
+ <http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling>; or use Autotools
+ as documented in "info automake Cross-Compilation", and set
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately.
+
+Requirements:
+
+• Man pages now require xmlto (or either xmlto or meinproc, if using CMake).
+• man2html is no longer used.
+
Enhancements:
• D-Bus Specification 0.20
+ · actually say that /org/freedesktop/DBus is the object that
+ implements o.fd.DBus (fd.o #51865, Colin Walters)
· various reorganisation for better clarity (fd.o #38252, Simon McVittie)
· stop claiming that all basic types work just like INT32 (strings don't!)
+• The "source code" for the man pages is now Docbook XML, eliminating
+ the outdated duplicate copies used when building with CMake.
+ (fd.o #59805; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
Fixes:
+• In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the system
+ bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)
+
+• Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless warnings
+ with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932, Arun Raghavan)
+
+• Merge <servicehelper> from system-local.conf if necessary (fd.o #51560,
+ Krzysztof Konopko)
+
+• Under CMake, prefer xmlto over meinproc (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Stop duplicating CMake's own logic to find libexpat
+ (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Don't assume CMake host and build system are the same (fd.o #59733,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Avoid deprecation warnings for GLib 2.35 (fd.o #59971, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Unix-specific:
+ · Check for functions in libpthread correctly, fixing compilation on
+ (at least) OpenBSD (fd.o #47239, Simon)
+ · Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927,
+ Michel HERMIER)
+ · Update sd-daemon.[ch] from systemd (fd.o #60681)
+ · Add partial support for QNX (fd.o #60339, fd.o #61176; Matt Fischer)
+
+• Windows-specific:
+ · The default session bus listening and connecting address is now
+ "autolaunch:", which makes D-Bus on Windows interoperate with itself
+ and GDBus "out of the box". Use the configure options and cmake variables
+ described above if you require a different autolaunch scope.
+ (fd.o #38201, Simon McVittie)
+ · Avoid a CMake warning under Cygwin (fd.o #59401, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
+ Ralf Habacker)
+
+D-Bus 1.6.8 (2012-09-28)
+==
+
+The "Fix one thing, break another" release.
+
+• Follow up to CVE-2012-3524: The additional hardening
+ work to use __secure_getenv() as a followup to bug #52202
+ broke certain configurations of gnome-keyring. Given
+ the difficulty of making this work without extensive
+ changes to gnome-keyring, use of __secure_getenv() is
+ deferred.
+
+D-Bus 1.6.6 (2012-09-28)
+==
+
+The "Clear the environment in your setuid binaries, please" release.
+
+• CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables (fd.o #52202)
+ Thanks to work and input from Colin Walters, Simon McVittie,
+ Geoffrey Thomas, and others.
+• Unix-specific:
+ · Fix compilation on Solaris (fd.o #53286, Jonathan Perkin)
+ · Work around interdependent headers on OpenBSD by including sys/types.h
+ before each use of sys/socket.h (fd.o #54418, Brad Smith)
+
+D-Bus 1.6.4 (2012-07-18)
+==
+
+• Detect that users are "at the console" correctly when configured with
+ a non-default path such as --enable-console-auth-dir=/run/console
+ (fd.o #51521, Dave Reisner)
+
+• Remove an incorrect assertion from DBusTransport (fd.o #51657,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+• Make --enable-developer default to "no" (regression in 1.6.2;
+ fd.o #51657, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Windows-specific:
+ · Launch dbus-daemon correctly if its path contains a space
+ (fd.o #49450, Wolfgang Baron)
+
+D-Bus 1.6.2 (2012-06-27)
+==
+
+The "Ice Cabbage" release.
+
+• Change how we create /var/lib/dbus so it works under Automake >= 1.11.4
+ (fd.o #51406, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Don't return from dbus_pending_call_set_notify with a lock held on OOM
+ (fd.o #51032, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Disconnect "developer mode" (assertions, verbose mode etc.) from
+ Automake maintainer mode. D-Bus developers should now configure with
+ --enable-developer. Automake maintainer mode is now on by default;
+ distributions can disable it with --disable-maintainer-mode.
+ (fd.o #34671, Simon McVittie)
+
• Automatically define DBUS_STATIC_BUILD in static-only Autotools builds,
fixing linking when targeting Windows (fd.o #33973; william, Simon McVittie)
• Unix-specific:
- · Add dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 option. Distributions should use this
- in their X11 session startup infrastructure, in preference to
- the --exit-with-session option. (fd.o #39197, Simon McVittie)
· Check for libpthread under CMake on Unix (fd.o #47237, Simon McVittie)
