-D-Bus 1.0 RC 3 (0.95) (02 November 2006)
+D-Bus 1.4.0 (6 Sep 2010)
==
-- 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
+ - systemd hookup
-D-Bus 1.0 RC 2 (0.94) (14 October 2006)
+D-Bus 1.3.1 (23 June 2010)
==
-- 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
+ - New standardized PropertiesChanged signal in the properties interface
+ - Various portability fixes, in particular to Windows platforms
+ - Support forking bus services, for compatibility
