D-Bus Python Bindings 1.2.2 (2016-02-22)
========================================
The “mind fray” release.
Versioning changes:
• dbus-python releases now have an even micro version (1.2.0, 1.2.2),
and snapshots from git have an odd micro version (1.2.1).
Dependencies:
• Building from git (but not from tarballs) now requires
macros from the GNU Autoconf Archive, for example the autoconf-archive
package in Debian or Fedora derivatives.
• Building from git (but not from tarballs) now requires Automake 1.13
or later.
• The automated tests and some examples now require PyGI (the gi module),
not PyGObject 2 (the deprecated glib and gobject modules).
Enhancements:
• There is now a setuptools setup.py, allowing dbus-python to be installed
into a virtualenv using pip from a standard Automake source release. This
requires pre-existing system-wide installations of the normal build
dependencies (pkg-config, libdbus, dbus-glib, a C compiler) and has
some limitations. For system-wide installations and development,
please use the Autoconf/Automake build system directly.
(fd.o #55439; Simon McVittie)
• dbus-python now uses the common compiler warnings from AX_COMPILER_FLAGS
(Simon McVittie)
• The automated tests can now be installed as GNOME-style "installed tests",
and should be somewhat more reliable (Simon McVittie)
Fixes:
• "from dbus.service import *" now imports FallbackObject
(fd.o #85720; Ben Longbons)
• The GConf-related examples work again (fd.o #85720; Ben Longbons)
• Consistently make examples executable, and install them all
(fd.o #85720; Ben Longbons)
• Search PATH for an appropriately-versioned pythonX.Y-config, or as a last
resort python-config, if there isn't a ${PYTHON}-config in the
same directory as ${PYTHON} (fd.o #92085; Yamashita, Yuu)
• Add support for the Automake 1.13 parallel test driver (Simon McVittie)
• Skip building API documentation if "import epydoc" fails (Simon McVittie)

Problems found locating distfiles:

Package nvnet: missing distfile nvnet-netbsd-src-20050620.tgz
Package syslog-ng: missing distfile syslog-ng-3.7.2.tar.gz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
D-Bus Python Bindings 1.2.0 (2013-05-07)
========================================
The "compile like it's 1998" release.
Dependencies:
• libdbus 1.6 or later is now required.
Enhancements:
• Unicode Corrigendum 9: when used with a suitable version of libdbus
(1.6.10 or later, or 1.7.2 or later), noncharacters in strings are
now accepted
Fixes:
• Support DBusException('something with non—ASCII') under Python 2
(Michael Vogt, smcv; fd.o #55899)
• Correct some misleading wording in COPYING which was written under the
assumption that libdbus could actually be relicensed to MIT/X11
(Thiago Macieira)
• Avoid variable-length arrays, because MSVC++ is still stuck in 1998
(based on patches from Christoph Höger, fd.o #51725)
• Remove unnecessary uses of stdint.h (fd.o #51725)
• Add support for Unix compilers not supporting 'inline', for completeness
• Use GObject.__class__ instead of GObjectMeta, which can no longer be
imported from gi.repository.GObject in pygobject 3.8
• Fix autoreconfiscation on Automake 1.13 (Marko Lindqvist, fd.o #59006)
