+D-Bus 1.4.14 (2011-07-29)
+==
+
+The "Puny receptacle!" release.
+
+Changes:
+
+• Use DBUS_ERROR_OBJECT_PATH_IN_USE if dbus_connection_try_register_object_path
+ or dbus_connection_try_register_fallback fails, not ...ADDRESS_IN_USE
+ (fd.o #38874, Jiří Klimeš)
+
+• Consistently use atomic operations on everything that is ever manipulated
+ via atomic ops, as was done for changes to DBusConnection's refcount in
+ 1.4.12 (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Fix a file descriptor leak when connecting to a TCP socket (fd.o #37258,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+• Make "make check" in a clean tree work, by not running tests until
+ test data has been set up (fd.o #34405, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Fix various typos (fd.o #27227, fd.o #38284; Sascha Silbe, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Documentation (fd.o #36156, Simon McVittie):
+ · let xsltproc be overridden as usual: ./configure XSLTPROC=myxsltproc
+ · install more documentation automatically, including man2html output
+ · put dbus.devhelp in the right place (it must go in ${htmldir})
+
+• Unix-specific:
+ · look for system services in /lib/dbus-1/system-services in addition to all
+ the other well-known locations; note that this should always be /lib,
+ even on platforms where shared libraries on the root FS would go in /lib64,
+ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar (fd.o #35229, Lennart Poettering)
+ · opt-in to fd passing on Solaris (fd.o #33465, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Windows-specific (Ralf Habacker):
+ · fix use of a mutex for autolaunch server detection
+ · don't crash on malloc failure in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound
+
+D-Bus 1.4.12 (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)
+ (CVE-2011-2200, fd.o #38120, Debian #629938; 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 1.4.10 (2011-06-01)
+==
+
+The "Ape Ale" 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:
+
+ • 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)
+ • 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 1.4.8 (2011-04-08)
+==
+
+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,
+ Anders Kaseorg)
+ • Prevent X11 autolaunching if $DISPLAY is unset or empty, and add
+ --disable-x11-autolaunch configure option to prevent it altogether
+ 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)
+ • Windows:
+ · Avoid the name ELEMENT_TYPE due to namespace-pollution from winioctl.h
+ (Andre Heinecke)
+ · Include _dbus_path_is_absolute in libdbus on Windows, fixing compilation
+ (fd.o #32805, Mark Brand)
+
+D-Bus 1.4.6 (2010-02-17)
+==
+
+The "1, 2, miss a few, 99, 100" release.
+
+ • Remove unfinished changes intended to support GTest-based tests,
+ which were mistakenly included in 1.4.4
+
+D-Bus 1.4.4 (2010-02-17)
+==
+
+ • Switch back to using even micro versions for stable releases; 1.4.1
+ should have been called 1.4.2, so skip that version number
+ • Don't leave bad file descriptors being watched when spawning processes,
+ which could result in a busy-loop (fd.o #32992, NB#200248; possibly
+ also LP#656134, LP#680444, LP#713157)
+ • Check for MSG_NOSIGNAL correctly
+ • Fix failure to detect abstract socket support (fd.o #29895)
+ • Make _dbus_system_logv actually exit with DBUS_SYSTEM_LOG_FATAL
+ (fd.o #32262, NB#180486)
+ • Improve some error code paths (fd.o #29981, fd.o #32264, fd.o #32262,
+ fd.o #33128, fd.o #33277, fd.o #33126, NB#180486)
+ • Avoid possible symlink attacks in /tmp during compilation (fd.o #32854)
+ • Tidy up dead code (fd.o #25306, fd.o #33128, fd.o #34292, NB#180486)
+ • Improve gcc malloc annotations (fd.o #32710)
+ • If the system bus is launched via systemd, protect it from the OOM killer
+ • Documentation improvements (fd.o #11190)
+ • Avoid readdir_r, which is difficult to use correctly (fd.o #8284,
+ fd.o #15922, LP#241619)
+ • Cope with invalid files in session.d, system.d (fd.o #19186,

+ • Raise the system bus's fd limit to be sufficient for its configuration
+ (fd.o #33474, LP#381063)
+ • Fix syslog string processing
+ • Ignore -Waddress
+ • Remove broken gcov parsing code and --enable-gcov, and replace them
+ with lcov HTML reports and --enable-compiler-coverage (fd.o #10887)
+ • Windows:
+ · avoid live-lock in Windows CE due to unfair condition variables
+ • OpenBSD:
+ · support credentials-passing (fd.o #32542)
+ • Solaris:
+ · opt-in to thread safety (fd.o #33464)
+
+D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
+==
+
+ • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
+ crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
+ only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
+ nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
+ issue.
+ • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
+ • Windows autolaunch improvements.
+ • Various bug fixes.
+
