System Internals / DBus - Simon McVittie [collabora.co.uk] - 6 October 2014 06:27 UTC



###

• D-Bus Specification version 0.25 · annotate table of types with reserved/basic/container, and for basic types, fixed/string-like · clarify arbitrary limits by quoting them in mebibytes

• Add an example script to find potentially undesired match rules (fd.o #84598, Alban Crequy)

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)
