| D-Bus 1.6.8 (2012-09-28) |
| == |
| |
| The "Fix one thing, break another" release. |
| |
| • Follow up to CVE-2012-3524: The additional hardening |
| work to use __secure_getenv() as a followup to bug #52202 |
| broke certain configurations of gnome-keyring. Given |
| the difficulty of making this work without extensive |
| changes to gnome-keyring, use of __secure_getenv() is |
| deferred. |
| |
| D-Bus 1.6.6 (2012-09-28) |
| == |
| |
| The "Clear the environment in your setuid binaries, please" release. |
| |
| • CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables (fd.o #52202) |
| Thanks to work and input from Colin Walters, Simon McVittie, |
| Geoffrey Thomas, and others. |
| • Unix-specific: |
| · Fix compilation on Solaris (fd.o #53286, Jonathan Perkin) |
| · Work around interdependent headers on OpenBSD by including sys/types.h |
| before each use of sys/socket.h (fd.o #54418, Brad Smith) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.6.4 (2012-07-18) |
| == |
| |
| • Detect that users are "at the console" correctly when configured with |
| a non-default path such as --enable-console-auth-dir=/run/console |
| (fd.o #51521, Dave Reisner) |
| |
| • Remove an incorrect assertion from DBusTransport (fd.o #51657, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Make --enable-developer default to "no" (regression in 1.6.2; |
| fd.o #51657, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Windows-specific: |
| · Launch dbus-daemon correctly if its path contains a space |
| (fd.o #49450, Wolfgang Baron) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.6.2 (2012-06-27) |
| == |
| |
| The "Ice Cabbage" release. |
| |
| • Change how we create /var/lib/dbus so it works under Automake >= 1.11.4 |
| (fd.o #51406, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Don't return from dbus_pending_call_set_notify with a lock held on OOM |
| (fd.o #51032, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Disconnect "developer mode" (assertions, verbose mode etc.) from |
| Automake maintainer mode. D-Bus developers should now configure with |
| --enable-developer. Automake maintainer mode is now on by default; |
| distributions can disable it with --disable-maintainer-mode. |
| (fd.o #34671, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Automatically define DBUS_STATIC_BUILD in static-only Autotools builds, |
| fixing linking when targeting Windows (fd.o #33973; william, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Unix-specific: |
| · Check for libpthread under CMake on Unix (fd.o #47237, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.6.0 (2012-06-05) |
| == |
| |
| The “soul of this machine has improved” release. |
| |
| This version starts a new stable branch of D-Bus: only bug fixes will |
| be accepted into 1.6.x. Other changes will now go to the 1.7.x branch. |
| |
| Summary of changes since 1.4.x: |
| |
| • New requirements |
| · PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE on Unix |
| · compiler support for 64-bit integers (int64_t or equivalent) |
| |
| • D-Bus Specification v0.19 |
| |
| • New dbus-daemon features |
| · <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/> rules allow the service to |
| own names like com.example.Service.Instance3 |
| · optional systemd integration when checking at_console policies |
| · --nopidfile option, mainly for use by systemd |
| · path_namespace and arg0namespace may appear in match rules |
| · eavesdropping is disabled unless the match rule contains eavesdrop=true |
| |
| • New public API |
| · functions to validate various string types (dbus_validate_path() etc.) |
| · dbus_type_is_valid() |
| · DBusBasicValue, a union of every basic type |
| |
| • Bug fixes |
| · removed an unsafe reimplementation of recursive mutexes |
| · dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has far too many file descriptors |
| · dbus-daemon.exe --print-address works on Windows |
| · all the other bug fixes from 1.4.20 |
| |
| • Other major implementation changes |
| · on Linux, dbus-daemon uses epoll if supported, for better scalability |
| · dbus_threads_init() ignores its argument and behaves like |
| dbus_threads_init_default() instead |
| · removed the per-connection link cache, improving dbus-daemon performance |
| |
| • Developer features |
| · optional Valgrind instrumentation (--with-valgrind) |
| · optional Stats interface on the dbus-daemon (--enable-stats) |
| · optionally abort whenever malloc() fails (--enable-embedded-tests |
| and export DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL=1) |
| |
| Changes since 1.5.12: |
| |
| • Be more careful about monotonic time vs. real time, fixing DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 |
| spec-compliance (fd.o #48580, David Zeuthen) |
| |
| • Don't use install(1) within the source/build trees, fixing the build as |
| non-root when using OpenBSD install(1) (fd.o #48217, Antoine Jacoutot) |
| |
| • Add missing commas in some tcp and nonce-tcp addresses, and remove |
| an unused duplicate copy of the nonce-tcp transport in Windows builds |
| (fd.o #45896, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.5.12 (2012-03-27) |
| == |
| |
| The “Big Book of Science” release. |
| |
| • Add public API to validate various string types: |
| dbus_validate_path(), dbus_validate_interface(), dbus_validate_member(), |
| dbus_validate_error_name(), dbus_validate_bus_name(), dbus_validate_utf8() |
| (fd.o #39549, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Turn DBusBasicValue into public API so bindings don't need to invent their |
| own "union of everything" type (fd.o #11191, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Enumerate data files included in the build rather than using find(1) |
| (fd.o #33840, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Add support for policy rules like <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/> |
| in dbus-daemon (fd.o #46273, Alban Crequy) |
| |
| • Windows-specific: |
| · make dbus-daemon.exe --print-address (and --print-pid) work again |
| on Win32, but not on WinCE (fd.o #46049, Simon McVittie) |
| · fix duplicate case value when compiling against mingw-w64 |
| (fd.o #47321, Andoni Morales Alastruey) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.5.10 (2012-02-21) |
| == |
| |
| The "fire in Delerium" release. |
| |
| On Unix platforms, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE (as specified in POSIX 2008 Base |
| and SUSv2) is now required. |
| |
| • D-Bus Specification 0.19: |
| · Formally define unique connection names and well-known bus names, |
| and document best practices for interface, bus, member and error names, |
| and object paths (fd.o #37095, Simon McVittie) |
| · Document the search path for session and system services on Unix, and |
| where they should be installed by build systems (fd.o #21620, fd.o #35306; |
| Simon McVittie) |
| · Document the systemd transport (fd.o #35232, Lennart Poettering) |
| |
| • Make dbus_threads_init() use the same built-in threading implementation |
| as dbus_threads_init_default(); the user-specified primitives that it |
| takes as a parameter are now ignored (fd.o #43744, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Allow all configured auth mechanisms, not just one (fd.o #45106, |
| Pavel Strashkin) |
| |
| • Improve cmake build system (Ralf Habacker): |
| · simplify XML parser dependencies (fd.o #41027) |
| · generate build timestamp (fd.o #41029) |
| · only create batch files on Windows |
| · fix option and cache syntax |
| · add help-options target |
| · share dbus-arch-deps.h.in with autotools rather than having our |
| own version (fd.o #41033) |
| |
| • Build tests successfully with older GLib, as found in e.g. Debian 6 |
| (fd.o #41219, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Avoid use of deprecated GThread API (fd.o #44413, Martin Pitt) |
| |
| • Build documentation correctly if man2html doesn't support filenames on |
| its command-line (fd.o #43875, Jack Nagel) |
| |
| • Improve test coverage. To get even more coverage, run the tests with |
| DBUS_TEST_SLOW=1 (fd.o #38285, #42811; Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Reduce the size of the shared library by moving functionality only used |
| by dbus-daemon, tests etc. into their internal library and deleting |
| unused code (fd.o #34976, #39759; Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Add dbus-daemon --nopidfile option, overriding the configuration, for |
| setups where the default configuration must include <pidfile/> to avoid |
| breaking traditional init, but the pid file is in fact unnecessary; use |
| it under systemd to improve startup time a bit (fd.o #45520, |
| Lennart Poettering) |
| |
| • Optionally (if configured --with-valgrind) add instrumentation to debug |
| libdbus and associated tools more meaningfully under Valgrind |
| (fd.o #37286, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Improve the dbus-send(1) man page (fd.o #14005, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Make dbus-protocol.h compatible with C++11 (fd.o #46147, Marc Mutz) |
| |
| • If tests are enabled and DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL is set in the environment, |
| abort on failure to malloc() (like GLib does), to turn runaway memory leaks |
| into a debuggable core-dump if a resource limit is applied (fd.o #41048, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Don't crash if realloc() returns NULL in a debug build (fd.o #41048, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Unix-specific: |
| · Replace our broken reimplementation of recursive mutexes, which has |
| been broken since 2006, with an ordinary pthreads recursive mutex |
| (fd.o #43744; Sigmund Augdal, Simon McVittie) |
| · 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, Ralf Habacker) |
| · When running under systemd, use it instead of ConsoleKit to check |
| whether to apply at_console policies (fd.o #39609, Lennart Poettering) |
| · Avoid a highly unlikely fd leak (fd.o #29881, Simon McVittie) |
| · Don't close invalid fd -1 if getaddrinfo fails (fd.o #37258, eXeC001er) |
| · Don't touch ~/.dbus and ~/.dbus-keyrings when running 'make installcheck' |
| (fd.o #41218, Simon McVittie) |
| · Stop pretending we respect XDG_DATA_DIRS for system services: the launch |
| helper doesn't obey environment variables to avoid privilege escalation |
| attacks, so make the system bus follow the same rules |
| (fd.o #21620, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Windows-specific: |
| · Find the dbus-daemon executable next to the shared library (fd.o #41558; |
| Jesper Dam, Ralf Habacker) |
| · Remove the faulty implementation of _dbus_condvar_wake_all (fd.o #44609, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.5.8 (2011-09-21) |
| == |
| |
| 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, |
| and Python is missing, skip those tests rather than failing |
| (fd.o #37847, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • When using cmake, provide the same version-info API in the installed headers |
| as for autotools (DBUS_VERSION, etc.) (fd.o #40905, Ralf Habacker) |
| |
| • Add a regression test for fd.o #38005 (fd.o #39836, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Make "NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh" not run configure (Colin Walters) |
| |
| • Add _DBUS_STATIC_ASSERT and use it to check invariants (fd.o #39636, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Fix duplicates in authors list (Ralf Habacker) |
| |
| • Fix broken links from dbus-tutorial.html if $(htmldir) != $(docdir) |
| (fd.o #39879, Chris Mayo) |
| |
| • Fix a small memory leak, and a failure to report errors, when updating |
| a service file entry for activation (fd.o #39230, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Unix-specific: |
| · Clean up (non-abstract) Unix sockets on bus daemon exit (fd.o #38656; |
| Brian Cameron, Simon McVittie) |
| · On systems that use libcap-ng but not systemd, drop supplemental groups |
| when switching to the daemon user (Red Hat #726953, Steve Grubb) |
| · Make the cmake build work again on GNU platforms (fd.o #29228, |
| Simon McVittie) |
| · Fix compilation on non-C99 systems that have inttypes.h but not stdint.h, |
| like Solaris (fd.o #40313, Dagobert Michelsen) |
| · Define CMSG_ALIGN, CMSG_LEN, CMSG_SPACE on Solaris < 10 |
| (fd.o #40235, Simon McVittie) |
| · Cope with Unixes that don't have LOG_PERROR, like Solaris 10 |
| (fd.o #39987, Simon McVittie) |
| · Cope with platforms whose vsnprintf violates both POSIX and C99, like |
| Tru64, IRIX and HP-UX (fd.o #11668, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| • Windows-specific: |
| · 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) |
| · Fix cross-compilation to Windows with Automake (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie) |
| |
| D-Bus 1.5.6 (2011-07-29) |
| == |
| |
| The "weird, gravy-like aftertaste" release. |
| |
| 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, |
| 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 |
| 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) |
| |
| • 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): |
| · 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 1.5.4 (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 1.5.2 (2011-06-01) |
| == |
| |
| The "Boar Hunter" 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: |
| |
| • D-Bus Specification v0.17 |
| · Reserve the extra characters used in signatures by GVariant |
| (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 |
| -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) |
| • Don't force users of libdbus to be linked against -lpthread, -lrt |
| (fd.o #32827, 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 1.5.0 (2011-04-11) |
| == |
| |
| The "you never know when you need to tow something from your giant |
| flying shark" release. |
| |
| • D-Bus Specification v0.16 |
| · 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, |
| Roberto Guido) |
| • Require user intervention to compile with missing 64-bit support |
| (fd.o #35114, Simon McVittie) |
| • Add dbus_type_is_valid as public API (fd.o #20496, Simon McVittie) |
| • Raise UnknownObject instead of UnknownMethod for calls to methods on |
| paths that are not part of the object tree, and UnknownInterface for calls |
| to unknown interfaces in the bus daemon (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering) |
| |
| 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, |

| |
| • 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, |

| • 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, |
| Debian #230231) |
| • Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285, |
| fd.o #34292) |
| • 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) |

| 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. |
| |
| D-Bus 1.4.0 (6 Sep 2010) |
| == |
| - systemd hookup |
| |
| D-Bus 1.3.1 (23 June 2010) |
| == |
| - New standardized PropertiesChanged signal in the properties interface |
| - Various portability fixes, in particular to Windows platforms |
| - Support forking bus services, for compatibility |
| |
| D-Bus 1.3.0 (29 July 2009) |
| == |
| - ability for dbus-send to send to any bus (--address) |
| - file descriptor passing on Unix socket transports |
| - use of GCC atomic intrinsics for better processor support |
| (requires -march=i486 or above for x86 compilation) |
| - thread-safe FD_CLOEXEC setting on recent Linux kernels (2.6.24-27 and up) |
| and glibc (2.9 for pipe2 and 2.10 for accept4) |
| - feature negotiation in the bus daemon |
