============================
The “haunted teacup” release.
dbus-glib version control is now hosted on freedesktop.org's Gitlab
installation, and bug reports and feature requests have switched from
Bugzilla bugs (indicated by "fd.o #nnn") to Gitlab issues
("dbus-glib#nnn") and merge requests ("dbus-glib!nnn"). See README and
CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
Dependencies:
• dbus 1.8 was already required, but is more strongly required now:
the workarounds that were used to run continuous integration with dbus
1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 'trusty' have been removed. (Note that dbus 1.8
has already reached end-of-life for security support, and newer dbus
stable branches are strongly recommended.)
• pkg-config 0.28 is required when building from git
Enhancements:
• Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md document, based on Wayland's equivalent
(Simon McVittie, with thanks to Ander Conselvan de Oliveira,
Bryce Harrington, Eric Engestrom, Pekka Paalanen and Daniel Stone
for their contributions to the equivalent file in Wayland)
• A generated ChangeLog file, which made up a significant proportion of
the size of source tarball releases, is no longer included. Please
refer to the git repository at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-glib for detailed change
history. (Simon McVittie)
• Improve man page (dbus-glib!1, Alan Coopersmith)
• Add test coverage for fd.o#80557 (dbus-glib#1, Simon McVittie)
• Use more modern GLib assertions in unit tests
(dbus-glib#16, dbus-glib!3, dbus-glib!4; Simon McVittie)
• Improve continuous integration to be run by GitLab in addition to
Travis-CI (Simon McVittie)
• Add clearer license information using SPDX-License-Identifier
(Simon McVittie)
Fixes:
• Allow glib-genmarshal to be overridden with
`./configure GLIB_GENMARSHAL=/path/to/glib-genmarshal`, for
cross-compilation (dbus-glib!2, Yann E. MORIN)
• Avoid a double-free in dbus-binding-tool for certain inputs, possibly
involving nested introspection data structures (dbus-glib#9, Zhipeng Xie)
• Report a better error for excessive recursion depth or unsupported
data types (dbus-glib#1, Simon McVittie)
• Map the 15 most-recently-added DBusGError members to their corresponding
D-Bus error names (dbus-glib#1, Simon McVittie)
• Mark all documented symbols as deprecated
(Simon McVittie)
• Fix unit test failures during distcheck by enabling assertions
(Simon McVittie)
• Fix a core dump during installed-tests by not attempting to close a
shared DBusConnection (Simon McVittie)
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
dbus-glib 0.110 (2018-01-29)
============================
The “sphere tank” release.
Dependencies:
• GLib 2.40 is required
Enhancements:
• The GLib main-loop glue, "dbus-gmain", is now available as a separate
subproject (the dbus-gmain branch in dbus-glib's git repository) for
embedding in larger projects like dbus-glib and dbus-python via the
`git subtree` or `git submodule` commands. This removes dbus-python's
dependency on the rest of dbus-glib.
Fixes:
• autogen.sh can now detect gtk-doc >= 1.26.
• More files have per-file copyright information.
The actual fix as been done by "pkglint -F */*/buildlink3.mk", and was
reviewed manually.
There are some .include lines that still are indented with zero spaces
although the surrounding .if is indented. This is existing practice.
dbus-glib 0.106 (2016-01-14)
============================
The “crumbling vestige” release.
Fixes:
• Stop testing G_HAVE_INLINE, which ceased to work in GLib 2.47.2 and
wasn't meant to be API anyway. Instead, rely on "static inline" doing
the right thing. On pre-C99 compilers, this relies on <glib.h> defining
inline to __inline, __inline__ or the empty string if the compiler
requires it, which it has done since 2000. (fd.o #93513, Colin Watson)
• Stop calling g_mem_profile() in the tests, which no longer does anything
and caused the tests to fail by issuing a warning (Simon McVittie)
• Slightly modernize build system, and remove a weird cross-directory
dependency which was breaking distcheck (Simon McVittie)
• Stop distributing generated marshallers in the tarball (Simon McVittie)
Problems found with existing digests:
Package memconf distfile memconf-2.16/memconf.gz
b6f4b736cac388dddc5070670351cf7262aba048 [recorded]
95748686a5ad8144232f4d4abc9bf052721a196f [calculated]
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package dc-tools: missing distfile dc-tools/abs0-dc-burn-netbsd-1.5-0-gae55ec9
Package ipw-firmware: missing distfile ipw2100-fw-1.2.tgz
Package iwi-firmware: missing distfile ipw2200-fw-2.3.tgz
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.
dbus-glib 0.104 (2015-02-09)
============================
The “smoke and ashes” release.
Deprecations:
• Document the entire library as deprecated (Simon McVittie, Philip Withnall)
Dependencies:
• libdbus 1.8 is required
• GLib 2.32 is required
Enhancements:
• The libdbus 1.8 dependency means we can now document that
dbus_g_thread_init() is idempotent and thread-safe
(fd.o #54770, Simon McVittie)
• Use g_cclosure_marshal_generic for all marshalling (fd.o #64214,
Simon McVittie)
Fixes:
• Allow timeouts to be migrated from one main context to another
without an assertion failure (fd.o #30574, Mike Gorse)
• Don't trip a libdbus fatal warning if a Unix fd or other unsupported type
is encountered in a message (fd.o #80557, Alban Crequy)
• Make the tests pass with newer GLib by not removing removed sources
(fd.o #83530, Simon McVittie)
• Fix some typos in the documentation (fd.o #45686, Jiří Klimeš)
• Make the Autotools setup less awful (fd.o #58698;
Rafał Mużyło, Simon McVittie)
dbus-glib 0.102 (2014-02-12)
============================
The “I've come to the conclusion that Debian should choose Russ Allbery
to be its new init system” release. [1]
Enhancements:
• Add dbus_g_method_invocation_get_connection (fd.o #55729, Dan Williams)
• Add dbus_g_connection_open_private (fd.o #55730, Dan Williams)
• Better regression tests (fd.o #23633, fd.o #40711, fd.o #41129, fd.o #51511,
fd.o #68603; Simon McVittie, Dan Williams)
• Get rid of more dead code (fd.o #40711, Simon McVittie)
• dbus-binding-tool: check validity of names (fd.o #7909, Simon McVittie)
Fixes:
• dbus_g_value_build_g_variant: treat GValues containing (G_TYPE_STRING, NULL)
or (G_TYPE_STRV, NULL) as empty string or empty array instead of asserting
(fd.o #71811, Xavier Claessens)
• Upload documentation correctly (Simon McVittie)
• Fix under-linking (fd.o #68601, Simon McVittie)

Sjoerd Simons (1):

Vincent Untz (1):
Bug 20879 - Use --skip-source argument for glib-genmarshal
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 GLib Bindings 0.71 (24 July 2006)
==
- Correctly installs a few missing headers
- Build was cleaned up a bit
D-Bus GLib Bindings 0.70 (17 July 2006)
==
- First release after bindings split
- dbus-binding-tool heeds org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.ClientCSymbol C symbol
name annotations when generating glib client bindings
- DBusGProxy can now be inherited from
- Support added for generating bindings to arrays that are represented as
GPtrArrays rather than GArrays (ie size-variable things, such as strings,
objects, structs, etc).
- Modification of the existing specialised types to have N type parameters
(rather than the current 1 or 2 for arrays and dictionaries respectively).
You can then use this to get a glib type to represent any arbitrary
D-Bus struct type using dbus_g_type_get_struct. The only implementation of
these types is with GValueArrays as before, but it's now possible to store
these in arrays, emit them in signals, etc.
- New methodbus_g_connection_open provides a way to open connections to an
arbitrary address
- Various bugs and memory leaks fixed
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).
