-D-Bus 1.4.8 (UNRELEASED)
+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
+ various possibilities for CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, and set the best flags for
+ your particular toolchain at configure time. (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Use #!/bin/sh for run-with-tmp-session-bus.sh, making it work on *BSD
+ (fd.o #35880, Timothy Redaelli)
+
+• Use ln -fs to set up dbus for systemd, which should fix reinstallation
+ when not using a DESTDIR (fd.o #37870, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Windows-specific changes:
+ · don't try to build dbus-daemon-launch-helper (fd.o #37838, Mark Brand)
+
+D-Bus 1.5.2 (2011-06-01)
+==
+
+The "Boar Hunter" release.
+
+Notes for distributors:
+
+ This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing
+ to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their
+ toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:
+
+ ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
+
+ or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper.
+
+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
+ -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and -Wl,--gc-sections options
+ but they're broken, as seen on Solaris (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
+ • Install dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper in a more normal way
+ (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,
+ Simon McVittie)
+ • Make the nonce-tcp transport work on Unix (fd.o #34569, Simon McVittie)
+ • On Unix, if /var/lib/dbus/machine-id cannot be read, try /etc/machine-id
+ (fd.o #35228, Lennart Poettering)
+ • In the regression tests, don't report fds as "leaked" if they were open
+ on startup (fd.o #35173, Simon McVittie)
+ • Make dbus-monitor bail out if asked to monitor more than one bus,
+ rather than silently using the last one (fd.o #26548, Will Thompson)
+ • Clarify documentation (fd.o #35182, Simon McVittie)
+ • Clean up minor dead code and some incorrect error handling
+ (fd.o #33128, fd.o #29881; Simon McVittie)
+ • Check that compiler options are supported before using them (fd.o #19681,
+ Simon McVittie)
+ • 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)
+

+The "It's like the beginning of a lobster" release.
+
• Rename configure.in to configure.ac, and update it to modern conventions
(fd.o #32245; Javier Jardón, Simon McVittie)
• Correctly give XDG_DATA_HOME priority over XDG_DATA_DIRS (fd.o #34496,
in embedded environments (fd.o #19997, NB#219964; Simon McVittie)
• Install the documentation, and an index for Devhelp (fd.o #13495,
Debian #454142; Simon McVittie, Matthias Clasen)
+ • If checks are not disabled, check validity of string-like types and
+ booleans when sending them (fd.o #16338, NB#223152; Simon McVittie)
+ • Add UnknownObject, UnknownInterface, UnknownProperty and PropertyReadOnly
+ errors to dbus-shared.h (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering)
+ • Break up a huge conditional in config-parser so gcov can produce coverage
+ data (fd.o #10887, Simon McVittie)
+ • List which parts of the Desktop Entry specification are applicable to
+ .service files (fd.o #19159, Sven Herzberg)
+ • Don't suppress service activation if two services have the same Exec=
+ (fd.o #35750, Colin Walters)

· Avoid the name ELEMENT_TYPE due to namespace-pollution from winioctl.h
