+D-Bus 1.5.6 (UNRELEASED)

+Fixes:
+
+• The dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has a very large number of file
+ descriptors (fd.o #23194, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.5.4 (2011-06-10)
+==
+
+Security (local denial of service):
+
+• Byte-swap foreign-endian messages correctly, preventing a long-standing
+ local DoS if foreign-endian messages are relayed through the dbus-daemon
+ (backporters: this is git commit c3223ba6c401ba81df1305851312a47c485e6cd7)
+ (fd.o #38120, Debian #629938, no CVE number yet; Simon McVittie)
+
+New things:
+
+• The constant to use for an infinite timeout now has a name,
+ DBUS_TIMEOUT_INFINITE. It is numerically equivalent to 0x7fffffff (INT32_MAX)
+ which can be used for source compatibility with older versions of libdbus.
+
+• If GLib and DBus-GLib are already installed, more tests will be built,
+ providing better coverage. The new tests can also be installed via
+ ./configure --enable-installed-tests
+ for system integration testing, if required. (fd.o #34570, Simon McVittie)
+
Changes:
+• Consistently use atomic operations for the DBusConnection's refcount,
+ fixing potential threading problems (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
+
• Don't use -Wl,--gc-sections by default: in practice the size decrease is
small (300KiB on x86-64) and it frequently doesn't work in unusual
toolchains. To optimize for minimum installed size, you should benchmark
• Windows-specific changes:
· don't try to build dbus-daemon-launch-helper (fd.o #37838, Mark Brand)

Notes for distributors:
Changes:
+ • D-Bus Specification v0.17
+ · Reserve the extra characters used in signatures by GVariant
+ (fd.o #34529, Simon McVittie)
+ · Define the ObjectManager interface (fd.o #34869, David Zeuthen)
• Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie)
• Allow --disable-gc-sections, in case your toolchain offers the
(fd.o #14512; Simon McVittie, loosely based on a patch from Luca Barbato)
• Ensure that maintainers upload documentation with the right permissions
(fd.o #36130, Simon McVittie)
+ • Don't force users of libdbus to be linked against -lpthread, -lrt
+ (fd.o #32827, Simon McVittie)
• Log system-bus activation information to syslog (fd.o #35705,
Colin Walters)
• Log messages dropped due to quotas to syslog (fd.o #35358,
• Windows:
• Remove obsolete workaround for winioctl.h (fd.o #35083, Ralf Habacker)
+D-Bus 1.5.0 (2011-04-11)
+==
+
+The "you never know when you need to tow something from your giant
+flying shark" release.
+
+ • D-Bus Specification v0.16
+ · Add support for path_namespace and arg0namespace in match rules
+ (fd.o #24317, #34870; Will Thompson, David Zeuthen, Simon McVittie)
+ · Make argNpath support object paths, not just object-path-like strings,
+ and document it better (fd.o #31818, Will Thompson)
+ • Let the bus daemon implement more than one interface (fd.o #33757,
+ Simon McVittie)
+ • Optimize _dbus_string_replace_len to reduce waste (fd.o #21261,
+ Roberto Guido)
+ • Require user intervention to compile with missing 64-bit support
+ (fd.o #35114, Simon McVittie)
+ • Add dbus_type_is_valid as public API (fd.o #20496, Simon McVittie)
+ • Raise UnknownObject instead of UnknownMethod for calls to methods on
+ paths that are not part of the object tree, and UnknownInterface for calls
+ to unknown interfaces in the bus daemon (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering)
