hal-0.2.97

[David Zeuthen]

Hey,

Here is a new release of hal.

Changes from 0.2.96 to 0.2.97

 - fstab-sync: lock around the entire process (seems to work very well
   now)
 - use local sockets for communication between hotplug.d/dev.d helpers
   and hald (fixes d-bus limit issues)
 - reorder hotplug messages (fixes issues with hotplugging 20 usb
   devices at the same time (using a hub))
 - don't process next hotplug message before device from current message
   is fully processed and in GDL (fixes issues with usb devices needing
   firmware uploads and thus will hotplug rem to hotplug add as a new
   device)
 - turn off media detection for drives being driven by the ide-cs driver
 - don't use drive_id or volume_id on drives with media detection turned
   off (fixes infinite hotplug loop with e.g. ide-cs drives)

Changes from 0.2.95 to 0.2.96

 - dist HACKING (Joe Shaw)
 - fix missing detection of optical disc when starting
 - enhanced hfs/hfsplus detection (Kay Sievers)
 - make libhal work with c++
 - validate incoming strings as UTF-8 (Joe Shaw)
 - try to reconnect to system bus if disconnected (Joe Shaw)
 - ethernet link status fixes (Dan Williams)
 - read vital product data from drives (Kay Sievers)
 - block device UDI computation enhancements
 - only return RESULT_HANDLED in libhal if we really handle the message
 - fix small memory leaks in libhal (Dan Williams)
 - spec now matches code
 - remove info.virtual concept
 - make USB interfaces a first class device object
 - fstab-sync no longer needs a wrapper (Ray Strode)
 - handle removable media without partition tables
 - fstab-sync: add entries for floppy/optical drives
 - fstab-sync: don't add entries if device is listed with LABEL=
