(fd.o #41219, Simon McVittie)

+
• Build documentation correctly if man2html doesn't support filenames on
its command-line (fd.o #43875, Jack Nagel)
• Unix-specific:
+ · Use epoll(7) for a more efficient main loop in Linux; equivalent patches
+ welcomed for other OSs' equivalents like kqueue, /dev/poll, or Solaris
+ event ports (fd.o #33337, Simon McVittie)

-The "this answerphone fails to answer the phone" release.
+The "cross-metering" release.
+
+In addition to dead code removal and refactoring, this release contains all
+of the bugfixes from 1.4.16.
+
+• Clean up dead code, and make more warnings fatal in development builds
+ (fd.o #39231, fd.o #41012; Simon McVittie)
• If full test coverage is requested via --enable-tests, strictly require
Python, pygobject and dbus-python, which are required by some tests; if not,
· Fix compilation on MSVC, which doesn't understand "inline" with its
C99 meaning (fd.o #40000; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
· Fix misuse of GPid in test/dbus-daemon.c (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)

-The "Puny receptacle!" release.
+The "weird, gravy-like aftertaste" release.
-Changes:
+In addition to new features and refactoring, this release contains all of the
+bugfixes from 1.4.14.
+
+Potentially incompatible (Bustle and similar debugging tools will need
+changes to work as intended):
+
+• Do not allow match rules to "eavesdrop" (receive messages intended for a
+ different recipient) by mistake: eavesdroppers must now opt-in to this
+ behaviour by putting "eavesdrop='true'" in the match rule, which will
+ not have any practical effect on buses where eavesdropping is not allowed
+ (fd.o #37890, Cosimo Alfarano)
+
+Other changes:
+
+• D-Bus Specification version 0.18 (fd.o #37890, fd.o #39450, fd.o #38252;
+ Cosimo Alfarano, Simon McVittie)
+ · add the "eavesdrop" keyword to match rules
+ · define eavesdropping, unicast messages and broadcast messages
+ · stop claiming that match rules are needed to match unicast messages to you
+ · promote the type system to be a top-level section
• 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)
+ or dbus_connection_try_register_fallback fails, not ...ADDRESS_IN_USE,
+ and simplify object-path registration (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
• Make "make check" in a clean tree work, by not running tests until
test data has been set up (fd.o #34405, Simon McVittie)
+• The dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has a very large number of file
+ descriptors (fd.o #23194, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Refactor message flow through dispatching to avoid locking violations if
+ the bus daemon's message limit is hit; remove the per-connection link cache,
+ which was meant to improve performance, but now reduces it (fd.o #34393,
+ Simon McVittie)
+
+• Some cmake fixes (Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Remove dead code, mainly from DBusString (fd.o #38570, fd.o #39610;
+ Simon McVittie, Lennart Poettering)
+
+• Stop storing two extra byte order indicators in each D-Bus message
+ (fd.o #38287, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add an optional Stats interface which can be used to get statistics from
+ a running dbus-daemon if enabled at configure time with --enable-stats
+ (fd.o #34040, Simon McVittie)
+
• Fix various typos (fd.o #27227, fd.o #38284; Sascha Silbe, Simon McVittie)
• Documentation (fd.o #36156, Simon McVittie):
· fix use of a mutex for autolaunch server detection
· don't crash on malloc failure in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound

Notes for distributors:
Changes:

+ (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
(fd.o #14512; Simon McVittie, loosely based on a patch from Luca Barbato)

+ · 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,

+ (fd.o #35114, Simon McVittie)
+ • Add dbus_type_is_valid as public API (fd.o #20496, Simon McVittie)
