The set of D-BUS types has changed somewhat, + and the arg "getters" are more geared toward language bindings; + they don't make a copy, etc. + + There are also some known issues. See these emails for details + on this huge patch: + http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2004-December/001836.html + http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2005-January/001922.html + + * dbus/dbus-marshal-*: all the new stuff + + * dbus/dbus-message.c: basically rewritten + + * dbus/dbus-memory.c (check_guards): with "guards" enabled, init + freed blocks to be all non-nul bytes so using freed memory is less + likely to work right + + * dbus/dbus-internals.c (_dbus_test_oom_handling): add + DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=N environment variable, so you can do + DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=0 to skip the out-of-memory checking, or + DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=10 to make it really, really, really slow and + thorough. + + * qt/message.cpp: port to the new message args API + (operator<<): use str.utf8() rather than str.unicode() + (pretty sure this is right from the Qt docs?) + + * glib/dbus-gvalue.c: port to the new message args API + + * bus/dispatch.c, bus/driver.c: port to the new message args API + + * dbus/dbus-string.c (_dbus_string_init_const_len): initialize the + "locked" flag to TRUE and align_offset to 0; I guess we never + looked at these anyhow, but seems cleaner. + + * dbus/dbus-string.h (_DBUS_STRING_ALLOCATION_PADDING): + move allocation padding macro to this header; use it to implement + (_DBUS_STRING_STATIC): ability to declare a static string. + + * dbus/dbus-message.c (_dbus_message_has_type_interface_member): + change to return TRUE if the interface is not set. + + * dbus/dbus-string.[hc]: move the D-BUS specific validation stuff + to dbus-marshal-validate.[hc] + + * dbus/dbus-marshal-basic.c (_dbus_type_to_string): move here from + dbus-internals.c + + * dbus/Makefile.am: cut over from dbus-marshal.[hc] + to dbus-marshal-*.[hc] + + * dbus/dbus-object-tree.c (_dbus_decompose_path): move this + function here from dbus-marshal.c + 2005-01-12 Joe Shaw <joeshaw@novell.com> * NEWS: Update for 0.23. |
