-D-Bus 1.4.12 (UNRELEASED)
+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
• 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)
