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)

Update AUTHORS
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

D-BUS is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms
of complexity.
D-BUS supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing
latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead;
messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-BUS also
supports a method call mapping for its messages, but it is not required;
this makes using the system quite simple.
This package provides the D-BUS interface to GLib and the dbus-monitor
utility (included here because it also uses GLib).
