###

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)
