D-Bus 1.1.2 (27 July 2007)
==
- This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable
release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no
major problems are found. We'll do more betas if significant
changes are made.
- This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
are found (though we will try hard not to).
- The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a
setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody
user, while services it launches may need to run as a different
user.
***Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be
timely right now, before 1.2.0***
A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt
- The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be
actually usable. The dbus-daemon man page describes the new
elements in the address format. 1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces
flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner
approach.
- Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes
if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important
otherwise.
D-Bus 1.1.1 (18 June 2007)
==
- This is a development release, unless you need specific
functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
(though we will try hard not to)
- The bus daemon now generates a globally-unique ID for itself, which is available
using the convenience function dbus_bus_get_id(). Use this as a unique ID
for a user's session, for example.
- dbus_server_get_id(), dbus_connection_get_server_id() now available to access
the unique ID of a particular address
- dbus_watch_get_fd() deprecated since it had unclear cross-platform semantics.
dbus_watch_get_unix_fd() and dbus_watch_get_socket() replace it.
- support ANONYMOUS mechanism for authentication, which allows a client to
authenticate as nobody in particular
- add API dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() which will allow the message
stream to begin if the client auths as anonymous (otherwise, the client
will be dropped unless they auth as a user).
- the ANONYMOUS support means you can now use D-Bus (without a bus daemon) as
a protocol for a network service provided to anonymous Internet or LAN
clients
- many internal changes to better support the Windows port, though the
port is still not complete in this release
- some improved documentation and return_if_fail checks
- some small bug fixes
D-Bus 1.1.0 (25 May 2007)
==
- first release in the development series, unless you need specific

(though we will try hard not to)
- better eavesdropping support now picks up reply messages for debugging
- .pc file now lists the directory the daemon is installed into (daemondir)
- GetAll call added to the properties interface
- support for message serialization added for use with external transports like
TUBES!!!
- many bugs fixed
