D-Bus 1.8.0, the first release of a new stable series, is released. SRC_URI is http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.8.0.tar.gz A part of release note: D-Bus 1.8.0 (2014-01-20) == The “Wolverine distrusts my printer” release. This starts a new stable branch. The 1.6.x branch is now considered to be outdated, and will only receive fixes for serious bugs such as security flaws.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by default) • new dbus-run-session tool, replacing certain misuses of dbus-launch • dbus-monitor can talk to outdated versions of dbus-daemon again • new org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionCredentials method • GetConnectionUnixProcessID also works correctly on Windows,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 Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 368790 [details, diff] dbus-1.8.0.ebuild.diff These are the changes I did to the ebuild in my local overlay to get it working. Upgrade should be quite painless. I recompiles 28 packages on my system that depend on libdbus-1.so.3 and all compiled fine...
