dbus-glib is deprecated, please use GDBus in new GLib-based projects.

dbus-glib 0.110 (2018-01-29)
============================

The “sphere tank” release.

Dependencies:

• GLib 2.40 is required

Enhancements:

• The GLib main-loop glue, "dbus-gmain", is now available as a separate
  subproject (the dbus-gmain branch in dbus-glib's git repository) for
  embedding in larger projects like dbus-glib and dbus-python via the
  `git subtree` or `git submodule` commands. This removes dbus-python's
  dependency on the rest of dbus-glib.

Fixes:

• autogen.sh can now detect gtk-doc >= 1.26.

• More files have per-file copyright information.

dbus-glib 0.108 (2016-09-09)
============================

The “toxic chair” release.

Fixes:

• Use dbus-run-session instead of dbus-launch for tests.

dbus-glib 0.106 (2016-01-14)
============================

The “crumbling vestige” release.

Fixes:

• Stop testing G_HAVE_INLINE, which ceased to work in GLib 2.47.2 and
  wasn't meant to be API anyway. Instead, rely on "static inline" doing
  the right thing. On pre-C99 compilers, this relies on <glib.h> defining
  inline to __inline, __inline__ or the empty string if the compiler
  requires it, which it has done since 2000. (fd.o #93513, Colin Watson)

• Stop calling g_mem_profile() in the tests, which no longer does anything
  and caused the tests to fail by issuing a warning (Simon McVittie)

• Slightly modernize build system, and remove a weird cross-directory
  dependency which was breaking distcheck (Simon McVittie)

• Stop distributing generated marshallers in the tarball (Simon McVittie)

dbus-glib 0.104 (2015-02-09)
============================

The “smoke and ashes” release.

Deprecations:

• Document the entire library as deprecated (Simon McVittie, Philip Withnall)

Dependencies:

• libdbus 1.8 is required
• GLib 2.32 is required

Enhancements:

• The libdbus 1.8 dependency means we can now document that
  dbus_g_thread_init() is idempotent and thread-safe
  (fd.o #54770, Simon McVittie)

• Use g_cclosure_marshal_generic for all marshalling (fd.o #64214,
  Simon McVittie)

Fixes:

• Allow timeouts to be migrated from one main context to another
  without an assertion failure (fd.o #30574, Mike Gorse)

• Don't trip a libdbus fatal warning if a Unix fd or other unsupported type
  is encountered in a message (fd.o #80557, Alban Crequy)

• Make the tests pass with newer GLib by not removing removed sources
  (fd.o #83530, Simon McVittie)

• Fix some typos in the documentation (fd.o #45686, Jiří Klimeš)

• Make the Autotools setup less awful (fd.o #58698;
  Rafał Mużyło, Simon McVittie)

dbus-glib 0.102 (2014-02-12)
============================

The “I've come to the conclusion that Debian should choose Russ Allbery
to be its new init system” release. [1]

Enhancements:

• Add dbus_g_method_invocation_get_connection (fd.o #55729, Dan Williams)

• Add dbus_g_connection_open_private (fd.o #55730, Dan Williams)

• Better regression tests (fd.o #23633, fd.o #40711, fd.o #41129, fd.o #51511,
  fd.o #68603; Simon McVittie, Dan Williams)

• Get rid of more dead code (fd.o #40711, Simon McVittie)

• dbus-binding-tool: check validity of names (fd.o #7909, Simon McVittie)

Fixes:

• dbus_g_value_build_g_variant: treat GValues containing (G_TYPE_STRING, NULL)
  or (G_TYPE_STRV, NULL) as empty string or empty array instead of asserting
  (fd.o #71811, Xavier Claessens)

• Upload documentation correctly (Simon McVittie)

• Fix under-linking (fd.o #68601, Simon McVittie)

dbus-glib 0.100.2 (2013-02-25)
==============================

The "I would prefer lengthier studies, and fewer explosions" release.

This release is a respin of the 0.100.1 tarball to drop some old,
broken versions of generated documentation files (fd.o #55830). There
are no source changes.

dbus-glib 0.100.1 (2013-02-15)
==============================

Security:

• Sebastian Krahmer discovered and published an authentication bypass
  vulnerability in pam_fprintd, caused by a bug in dbus-glib. It is
  possible that other users of dbus-glib can be exploited in the same
  way. CVE-2013-0292 has been allocated for this vulnerability.

  This vulnerability is fixed in dbus-glib version 0.100.1 by git commit
  166978a. All users of dbus-glib should upgrade.

  (fd.o #60916; Colin Walters, Simon McVittie)

• Fix several GVariant reference leaks in dbus_g_value_parse_variant

  has a negative code (fd.o #40151; David Woodhouse, Simon McVittie)

• Fix compilation with -Werror=format-security (Matthias Klose)

  the dbus-daemon (fd.o #41126, Simon McVittie)

dbus-glib 0.98 (2011-09-30)
===========================

The "undocumented feature" release.

• Fix the documentation, a lot. We have nearly 100% coverage now.
  (fd.o #37793, smcv)

• In specialized collection iterators, check that the type is correct;
  g_critical and return harmlessly, rather than crashing, if not (smcv)

• If library users register specialized GTypes, warn if their vtables have
  missing callbacks which would cause accessors to crash (smcv)

• Fix production of documentation out-of-tree with newer gtk-doc (smcv)

• Simplify invoke_object_method() and OOM handling in dbus-gobject
  (fd.o #35767, smcv)

dbus-glib 0.96 (2011-09-21)
===========================

The "terminating at New Cross Gate" release.

• Fix a regression in marshalling GObject instances as object paths,
  which broke NetworkManager (fd.o #37852, Debian #628890; Simon McVittie)

• Fix crashes when sending a message when disconnected from D-Bus but still
  working through our backlog of incoming messages, similar to fd.o #12675
  (fd.o #38406, Simon McVittie)

• Cope more gracefully, with a critical warning instead of a memory leak,
  if programmer error causes G_VALUE_COLLECT to fail
  (fd.o #38406, NB#86280, NB#180486; Kimmo Hämäläinen, Christian Dywan,
   Simon McVittie)

• Avoid an assertion failure when unregistering a proxy if GetNameOwner failed
  (fd.o #38408, NB#116862; Janne Karhunen, Simon McVittie)

• Don't report various programmer errors as "out of memory"; raise suitable
  critical warnings instead, and don't leak memory (fd.o #35767, fd.o #35766;
  Simon McVittie)

• If a remote process sends a wrong method call on the Properties interface,
  send back an error reply, instead of warning on stderr and not replying
  (fd.o #35766, Simon McVittie)

• Show a warning if dbus_g_method_return fails to marshal something
  (fd.o #29884, NB#180486; Christian Dywan, Simon McVittie)

• Remove remnants of i18n (fd.o #36428, Simon McVittie)

D-Bus GLib Bindings 0.71 (24 July 2006)
==
- Correctly installs a few missing headers
- Build was cleaned up a bit

D-Bus GLib Bindings 0.70 (17 July 2006)
==
- First release after bindings split
- dbus-binding-tool heeds org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.ClientCSymbol C symbol
  name annotations when generating glib client bindings
- DBusGProxy can now be inherited from
- Support added for generating bindings to arrays that are represented as 
  GPtrArrays rather than GArrays (ie size-variable things, such as strings, 
  objects, structs, etc).
- Modification of the existing specialised types to have N type parameters 
  (rather than the current 1 or 2 for arrays and dictionaries respectively).
  You can then use this to get a glib type to represent any arbitrary
  D-Bus struct type using dbus_g_type_get_struct. The only implementation of 
  these types is with GValueArrays as before, but it's now possible to store 
  these in arrays, emit them in signals, etc.
- New methodbus_g_connection_open provides a way to open connections to an 
  arbitrary address
- Various bugs and memory leaks fixed
Sleep after starting the peer server, before starting the peer client.
This fixes random failures due to the race.
