D-Bus Python Bindings 1.2.4 (2016-03-06)
========================================
The “75,000 microchips” release.
Enhancements:
• Continous integration metadata for travis-ci.org is now available.
Similar to dbus, this is split into .travis.yml (Travis-specifics)
and tools/ci-build.sh (intended to be useful for any CI framework,
although it does include various workarounds for travis-ci oddities).
(Simon McVittie)
Fixes:
• Make dbus.version a tuple again, not a list, for consistent sorting.
This was a regression in 1.2.2. (Debian #816729, Simon McVittie)
• Use inspect.signature() instead of inspect.getargspec() on Python
versions that have it. inspect.getargspec() is deprecated in recent
Python 3 and seems to have disappeared from 3.6 nightly builds.
(Simon McVittie)
• Make the tests pass in "narrow" Python builds where unicode objects
are UTF-16, rather than the UCS-4 used in Linux distributions.
(fd.o #57140, Simon McVittie)
• Always include headers in a consistent order (Debian #749133, Simon McVittie)
• Include config.h in all C code that we compile. This is necessary
on platforms where it might contain something like "#define _GNU_SOURCE"
or "#define inline __inline".
(Simon McVittie)
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)

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)
referenced in Makefile.
D-Bus Python Bindings 0.83.2 (2010-12-02)
=========================================
Dependencies:
* libdbus 1.2 is still supported, but libdbus >= 1.4 is recommended.
Fixes:
* Make BusConnection.list_activatable_names actually call ListActivatableNames,
not ListNames (Johan Sandelin)
* Don't override CFLAGS when adding compiler warnings
(Louis-Francis Ratté-Boulianne)
* Fix compilation on platforms where Py_ssize_t is larger than int, like x86-64
(Elvis Pfützenreuter)
* fd.o #21831: deserialize empty byte arrays with byte_arrays=True as
ByteArray(''), not ByteArray('None') (Simon McVittie)
* fd.o #23278, #25105: fix crashes when trying to append more struct entries
than the signature allows with libdbus 1.4 (Simon McVittie)
* fd.o #23831: fix crashes when an embedded Python interpreter imports dbus,
is finalized, is re-initialized, and re-imports dbus (Simon McVittie)
D-Bus Python Bindings 0.83.1 (2010-02-18)
=========================================
Fixes:
* fd.o #21172: avoid some deprecation warnings in Python 2.6
* fd.o #15013: add dbus.lowlevel.MESSAGE_TYPE_SIGNAL etc., for those who care
about message types at a low level
* When removing signal matches, clean up internal state, avoiding a memory
leak in long-lived Python processes that connect to signals from arbitrarily
many object paths (fd.o #17551, thanks to Marco Pesenti Gritti)
* When setting the sender of a message, allow it to be org.freedesktop.DBus
so you can implement a D-Bus daemon in pure Python (patch from Huang Peng)
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
D-Bus Python Bindings 0.83.0 (2008-07-23)
=========================================
Features:
* Add bindings for DBusServer (thanks to Mathias Hasselmann, Huang Peng;
fd.o #14322, #15514).
* Omit the service's traceback from certain D-Bus errors: specifically, those
that were probably deliberately raised as part of an API. Subclasses
of DBusException that indicate programmer error can turn the traceback
back on if it seems likely to be useful.
Fixes:
* Don't emit spurious Error messages if libdbus gives object-path handlers
a message that isn't a method call (most likely because of binding to a
locally emitted signal, as in fd.o #14199).
* Make multiple filters added by Connection.add_message_filter work
(fd.o #15547, thanks to Huang Peng).
* Make the API docs build correctly when out-of-tree
* Require dbus 1.0 so we can get rid of DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
- Supports DESTDIR
- Accept Python 2.5
News:
* supplying reply_handler but not error_handler raises
MissingReplyHandlerException instead of MissingErrorHandlerException,
and vice versa (fd.o #12304, patch from Rene Neumann)
* Using non-recursive make for dbus/ directory should fix builds in some
environments (fd.o #12741)
changes:
-fixes
-dbus.Bus() deprecated
-ode for which Collabora is the only copyright holder is now under
the same permissive MIT/X11 license under which dbus core
is being relicensed
D-Bus Python Bindings 0.71 (24 July 2006)
==
- Binary modules are now installed in the correct directory
- Distutils exports the dbus and dbus-glib cflags
D-Bus Python Bindings 0.70 (17 July 2006)
==
- First release of bindings split
- Move to a distutils build enviornment
- It is possible to now specify sender_keyword="foo", path_keyword="bar" when
adding a signal listener
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
