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.
