The 1.6.x branch is now considered to be +outdated, and will only receive fixes for serious bugs such as security +flaws. The 1.4.x and 1.2.x branches no longer have upstream support and +are unlikely to get any more releases, but if distributors still need to +support them, please share security patches via upstream. + +Summary of changes since 1.6.x: + +• libdbus always behaves as if dbus_threads_init_default() had been called + (thread-safety by default) +• new dbus-run-session tool, replacing certain misuses of dbus-launch +• dbus-monitor can talk to outdated versions of dbus-daemon again +• new org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionCredentials method +• GetConnectionUnixProcessID also works correctly on Windows, returning + the Windows process ID +• GetConnectionWindowsSID returns the correct SID on Windows +• expat is required, libxml2 can no longer be used as a substitute +• the userDB cache is required, and cannot be disabled +• a 64-bit integer type (either int, long, long long or _int64) is required +• better systemd-journald integration on Linux +• fixed long-standing fd and array leaks when failing to parse a message +• fixed referenced-but-never-freed parent nodes (effectively memory leaks) + when using certain object-path allocation patterns, notably in Avahi +• better defaults for Windows support +• better CMake support +• better portability to mingw32, FreeBSD, NetBSD, QNX and Hurd +• the source language for the man pages is now Docbook XML + +Enhancements since 1.7.10: + +• Enhance the CMake build system to check for GLib and compile/run + a subset of the regression tests (fd.o #41252, #73495; Ralf Habacker) + +Fixes since 1.7.10: + +• don't rely on va_copy(), use DBUS_VA_COPY() wrapper (fd.o #72840, + Ralf Habacker) + +• fix compilation of systemd journal support on older systemd versions where + sd-journal.h doesn't include syslog.h (fd.o #73455, Ralf Habacker) + +• fix compilation on older MSVC versions by including stdlib.h + (fd.o #73455, Ralf Habacker) + +• Allow <allow_anonymous/> to appear in an included configuration file + (fd.o #73475, Matt Hoosier) + +Test behaviour changes since 1.7.10: + +• If the tests crash with an assertion failure, they no longer default to + blocking for a debugger to be attached. Set DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT in the + environment if you want the old behaviour. + +• To improve debuggability, the dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-eavesdrop tests + can be run with an external dbus-daemon by setting + DBUS_TEST_DAEMON_ADDRESS in the environment.
