-D-Bus 1.8.10 (2014-11-10)
+D-Bus 1.9.2 (UNRELEASED)
==
-The “tenants with a leaking roof get priority” release.
+The “structurally unsound flapjack” release.
+ Security fixes:
+
+ • Increase dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit to 65536
+ so that CVE-2014-3636 part A cannot exhaust the system bus'
+ file descriptors, completing the incomplete fix in 1.8.8.
+ (CVE-2014-7824, fd.o #85105; Simon McVittie, Alban Crequy)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification version 0.25
+ · new value 'const' for EmitsChangedSignal annotation
+ (fd.o #72958, Lennart Poettering)
+ · new ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION flag, for PolicyKit and similar
+ (fd.o #83449; Lennart Poettering, Simon McVittie)
+ · annotate table of types with reserved/basic/container, and for
+ basic types, fixed/string-like
+ · clarify arbitrary limits by quoting them in mebibytes
+
+• New API: add accessors for the ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION flag
+ (fd.o #83449, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add dbus-test-tool, a D-Bus swiss army knife with multiple subcommands,
+ useful for debugging and performance testing:
+ · dbus-test-tool spam: send repeated messages
+ · dbus-test-tool echo: send an empty reply for all method calls
+ · dbus-test-tool black-hole: do not reply to method calls
+ (fd.o #34140; Alban Crequy, Simon McVittie, Will Thompson)
+
+• Add support for process ID in credentials-passing on NetBSD
+ (fd.o #69702, Patrick Welche)
+
+• Add an example script to find potentially undesired match rules
+ (fd.o #84598, Alban Crequy)
+
+• Document the central assumption that makes our use of credentials-passing
+ secure (fd.o #83499, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Replace the dbus-glib section of the tutorial with a GDBus recommendation,
+ and add some links to GDBus and QtDBus documentation (fd.o #25140,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• Use a less confusing NoReply message when disconnected with a reply pending
+ (fd.o #76112, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Make the .pc file relocatable by letting pkg-config do all variable
+ expansion itself (fd.o #75858, Руслан Ижбулатов)
+
+• Fix a build failure on platforms with kqueue, which regressed in 1.9.0
+ (fd.o #85563, Patrick Welche)
+
+• Consistently save errno after socket calls (fd.o #83625, Simon McVittie)
+
+• In dbus-spawn, when the grandchild process exits due to a failed exec(),
+ do not lose the exec() errno (fd.o #24821, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Do not fail the tests if a parent process has leaked non-close-on-exec
+ file descriptors to us (fd.o #73689, fd.o #83899; Simon McVittie)
+
+• Do not fail the tests on Unix platforms with incomplete
+ credentials-passing support, but do fail if we can't pass credentials
+ on a platform where it is known to work: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD
+ (fd.o #69702, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Detect accept4, dirfd, inotify_init1, pipe2, and Unix fd passing
+ when building with cmake, and expand test coverage there
+ (fd.o #73689; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+D-Bus 1.9.0 (2014-10-01)
+==
+
+The “tiered cheeses” release.
+
+Requirements:
+
+• Support for the systemd: (LISTEN_FDS) pseudo-transport on Linux now
+ requires either the libsystemd or libsd-daemon shared library, dropping the
+ embedded convenience copy of sd-daemon (fd.o #71818, Simon)
+
+Build-time configuration changes:
+
+• The Stats interface is now enabled by default, and locked-down to
+ root-only on the system bus. Configure with --disable-stats
+ to disable it altogether on memory- or disk-constrained systems,
+ or see ${docdir}/examples/ to open it up to non-root users on the
+ system bus or restrict access on the session bus.
+ (fd.o #80759; Simon McVittie, Alban Crequy)
+
+• The CMake build system now builds the same shared library name as Autotools
+ on at least Linux and Windows:
+ - on Linux (and perhaps other Unix platforms), it previously built
+ libdbus-1.so, but now builds libdbus-1.so.3.* with development
+ symlink libdbus-1.so and SONAME/symlink libdbus-1.so.3
+ - on Windows, it previously built either libdbus-1.dll (release) or
+ libdbus-1d.dll (debug), but now builds libdbus-1-3.dll, copied to
+ libdbus-1.dll for compatibility with older applications.
+ (fd.o #74117, Ralf Habacker)
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification version 0.24
+ · document how to quote match rules (fd.o #24307, Simon McVittie)
+ · explicitly say that most message types never expect a reply
+ regardles of whether they have NO_REPLY_EXPECTED
+ (fd.o #75749, Simon McVittie)
+
+• on Unix platforms, disable Nagle's algorithm on TCP connections to improve
+ initial latency (fd.o #75544, Matt Hoosier)
+
+• use backtrace() if it is in -lexecinfo instead of libc, as on NetBSD
+ (fd.o #69702, Patrick Welche)
+
+• in dbus-monitor, print more information about file descriptors
+ (fd.o #80603, Alban Crequy)
+
+• do not install system bus configuration if built for Windows
+ (fd.o #83583; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add GetAllMatchRules to the Stats interface (fd.o #24307, Alban Crequy)
+
+• Add a regression test for file descriptor passing (fd.o #83622,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• fix an incorrect error message if a Unix socket path is too long
+ (fd.o #73887, Antoine Jacoutot)
+
+• in an MSYS/Cygwin environment, pass Unix-style filenames to xmlto,
+ fixing documentation generation (fd.o #75860, Руслан Ижбулатов)
+
+• in Unix with X11, avoid giving dbus-launch a misleading argv[0]
+ in ps(1) (fd.o #69716, Chengwei Yang)
+
+• avoid calling poll() with timeout < -1, which is considered invalid
+ on FreeBSD and NetBSD (fd.o #78480, Jaap Boender)
+
+• be portable to BSD-derived platforms where O_CLOEXEC is unavailable in libc
+ (like Mac OS X 10.6), or available in libc but unsupported by the kernel
+ (fd.o #77032; rmvsxop, OBATA Akio, Patrick Welche)
+
+• Fix include path for test/internal/*.c with cmake (Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Documentation improvements
+ (fd.o #80795, #84313; Thomas Haller, Sebastian Rasmussen)
+
+• in dbus-monitor, do not leak file descriptors that we have monitored
+ (fd.o #80603, Alban Crequy)
+
+• Set the close-on-exec flag for the inotify file descriptor, even
+ if built with CMake or older libc (fd.o #73689, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Remove some LGPL code from the Windows dbus-daemon
+ (fd.o #57272, Ralf Habacker)
