-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.37 (2009-09-14)
-==================================
-
-The "Lego Batman" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.28
-  * add ContactCapabilities interface
-  * add InitialVideo, InitialAudio, ImmutableStreams properties to
-    StreamedMedia
-  * add TP_CHANNEL_CALL_STATE_FLAG_IN_PROGRESS
-
-* Set the debug domain for telepathy-glib to tp-glib/$category, e.g.
-  tp-glib/connection for TpConnection and TpBaseConnection (jonny)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #23843: make tp_debug_sender_log_handler with exclude=NULL include
-  everything, rather than nothing (smcv)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.36 (2009-09-03)
-==================================
-
-The "yes, it's a phone" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Add TpDebugSender, along with the lower-level TpSvcDebug interface that it
-  uses (jonny)
-
-* Clarify when tp_proxy_signal_connection_disconnect is safe to call (smcv)
-
-* Add support for simulating DTMF and Hold support in the 'callable' example
-  connection manager (andrunko)
-
-* fd.o #21327: truncate the ChangeLog at version 0.6 to stop it being so huge,
-  and force ISO date format (wjt)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* If the bus name for a Connection would be too long, hash the unique name
-  provided by the CM, instead of crashing (daf)
-
-* fd.o #23524: don't introspect a TpConnectionManager twice in parallel,
-  avoiding an assertion failure (wjt)
-
-* TpChannel: don't disconnect from a TpProxySignalConnection that's already
-  gone, fixing a crash (smcv)
-
-* tp_connection_manager_idle_read_manager_file: avoid using the
-  TpConnectionManager after it may have been disposed (sjoerd)
-
-* TpBaseConnection: Allow GetInterfaces() to succeed before CONNECTED (smcv)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.35 (2009-08-18)
-==================================
-
-The "dance to the sound of sirens" release.
-
-API changes:
-
-* fd.o #17751: TpBaseConnection no longer guarantees that the self-handle is
-  set to 0 when the state changes to DISCONNECTED; instead, the self-handle
-  remains valid until the connection is disposed, so that connection managers
-  can use it during teardown. (cassidy)
-  - This change will cause assertion failures on disconnection in
-    telepathy-sofiasip older than 0.5.17, and in telepathy-gabble older than
-    0.7.9.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Add tp_dbus_daemon_list_names() and tp_dbus_daemon_list_activatable_names(),
-  which are more efficient (and more const-correct) versions of the
-  corresponding autogenerated tp_cli_dbus_daemon methods (smcv)
-
-* Support the Hold interface in the "callable" example CM (andrunko)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Finally make tp_dbus_daemon_watch_name_owner bind to NameOwnerChanged
-  selectively, for reduced wakeups. To take advantage of this, you should
-  avoid using all functions that start with tp_cli_dbus_daemon_; file bugs
-  to request more replacement functions in the tp_dbus_daemon namespace. (smcv)
-
-* Fix a memory leak in tp_dbus_daemon_watch_name_owner (smcv)
-
-* fd.o #9812: TpDynamicHandleRepo: use tp_dbus_daemon_watch_name_owner for
-  reduced wakeups (smcv)
-
-* In TpDynamicHandleRepo, if a client holds handles then immediately crashes,
-  release those handles as soon as we find out that it's gone (smcv)
-
-* fd.o #22957: fix compilation in some non-gcc compilers
-  (based on a patch from Elaine Xiong)
-
-* As per telepathy-spec 0.17.27, represent connection status reason NAME_IN_USE
-  as TP_ERROR_CONNECTION_REPLACED or TP_ERROR_ALREADY_CONNECTED (as
-  appropriate), not as TP_ERROR_NOT_YOURS, so that NotYours can safely be given
-  special handling (smcv)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.34 (2009-08-16)
-==================================
-
-The "secret lack of example detected" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to telepathy-spec 0.17.27 (smcv)
-  - generate code for Connection.Interface.Location
-  - omit Debug interface from code-generation for now: it will be enabled in a
-    future release when we have reference client- and service-side
-    implementations (possibly called TpDebugReceiver and TpDebugSender)
-  - add more errors
-  - generate code for Handler.Capabilities property
-
-* Add macros for static assertions (tp_verify, tp_verify_true,
-  tp_verify_statement) to util.h (smcv, adapted from gnulib)
-
-* Make the allocation model for tp_dbus_properties_mixin_make_properties_hash
-  part of our ABI guarantee (smcv)
-
-* Add a GType macro TP_ARRAY_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH_LIST (wjt)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #23164: don't unref a NULL DBusMessage (wjt)
-
-* Get tp_intset_iter_init and tp_intset_iter_reset into the documentation (smcv)
-
-* Make omitted CM parameters that have a default indistinguishable from
-  explicitly-passed parameters with that value, removing the need to specify
-  the default in the Connection as well (sjoerd)
-
-* fd.o #22889: reduce introspection round-trips (wjt)
-
-* Fix header guard in debug.h (dilinger)
-
-* fd.o #18091: for interfaces with D-Bus methods, document how to write a
-  complete interface init function (smcv)
-
-* Fix a rare crash when a TpProxyPendingCall is cancelled before the
-  DBusGProxyCall is provided (smcv)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.33 (2009-06-26)
-==================================
-
-The "please be careful when handling the sun" release.
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Fixed a test failure in test-params-cm on certain architectures, including
-  powerpc and sparc (smcv)
-
-* Fixed an assertion failure in TpConnection if StatusChanged to CONNECTED is
-  followed immdiately by GetStatus returning CONNECTED (smcv)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.32 (2009-06-12)
-==================================
-
-The "cake wars" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* fd.o #22208: Updated to telepathy-spec 0.17.26 (smcv)
-
-* Added generated service-side bindings for AccountManager, Account,
-  ChannelDispatcher, ChannelDispatchOperation, ChannelRequest and Client (smcv)
-
-* Added minimal versions of TpAccountManager, TpAccount,
-  TpChannelDispatcher, TpChannelDispatchOperation, TpChannelRequest and
-  TpClient (smcv)
-
-* fd.o #22205: Added support for deprecating or removing _run_ methods in code
-  generation (smcv)
-
-* Added flymake support (jonnylamb)
-
-* fd.o #22230: Added support for byte ('y') parameters to CMs (smcv)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Made sure _gen/error-str.h and .c end with a newline, fixing compilation with
-  certain compilers (smcv)
-
-* fd.o #19741: Documented client-side handle reference counting (wjt)
-
-* fd.o #21977: Removed duplicate mention of media-interfaces.h in Makefile.am
-  (Patryk Zawadzki)
-
-* fd.o #22121: made tp_channel_dispose properly idempotent (wjt)
-
-* Removed dead code for introspecting alias flags (smcv)
-
-* fd.o #22182: Fixed a potential use-after-free in the callable example CM
-  (smcv)
-
-Release notes for projects using code generation:
-
-* After updating to this version of glib-client-gen.py, _run_ methods will no
-  longer be generated by default. To get the behaviour of older versions, run
-  it with the new --generate-reentrant option; to get the methods present
-  but deprecated, use an option like
-  --deprecate-reentrant=FOO_DISABLE_DEPRECATED (which means the _run_ methods
-  are marked with G_GNUC_DEPRECATED, and will not be available at all if
-  FOO_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is defined).
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.31 (2009-05-27)
-==================================
-
-The "this beer tastes of Stilton!" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Added TP_ERROR_STR_* constants corresponding to the members of the
-  TpError enum, and tp_error_get_dbus_name() mapping the latter to the
-  former (cassidy/wjt)
-
-* Updated to telepathy-spec 0.17.25, adding ConnectionRefused, ConnectionFailed
-  and ConnectionLost errors, and the new-style StreamTube and DBusTube channel
-  types (cassidy)
-
-* Made tp_g_key_file_get_int64 and _uint64 into public API for Mission
-  Control's benefit (smcv)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Changed the dbus_daemon member of TpProxy to be removed in dispose, rather
-  than just after the invalidated signal (smcv)
-
-* Fixed a null pointer dereference if a TpConnectionManager is resurrected
-  during dispose (smcv)
-
-* Fixed a use-after-free when the user-supplied object in
-  tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready is destroyed after the CM becomes
-  ready (smcv)
-
-* Fixed tp_dbus_daemon_request_name, tp_dbus_daemon_release_name and
-  _tp_dbus_daemon_get_name_owner to fail gracefully if the TpDBusDaemon has
-  been invalidated (smcv)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.30 (2009-05-18)
-==================================
-
-The "slowing down but with a sense of speeding up" release.
-
-API changes:
-
-* tp_proxy_add_interface_by_id() may not be called on an invalidated proxy. (It
-  never made sense to do this, but now telepathy-glib will complain if you do.)
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Added tp_dbus_daemon_request_name() and tp_dbus_daemon_release_name(). (Fixes
-  fd.o#21771.)
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.23, adding the Terminated error.
-
-* Added optional support for Shave, to give kernel-style pretty make output.
-  (This is disabled by default; to enable it, pass --enable-shave to configure.)
-  (Jonny Lamb)
-
-* Channel introspection will now fail more quickly when the channel is
-  invalidated.
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Generated GInterfaces now install type information sooner, fixing a bug where
-  object construction could make dbus-glib assert. (Ross Burton)
-
-* fd.o#21792: tp_presence_mixin_simple_presence_fill_contact_attributes asserts
-  if get_contact_statuses returns NULL.
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.29 (2009-04-03)
-==================================
-
-The "sense of adventure working perfectly and sensing no adventures" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* TpBaseConnectionManager, tp_cm_param_setter_offset: support parameters of
-  various extra types - object path, double, 64-bit signed and unsigned
-  integer, array of strings, array of bytes - and add regression tests
-
-* TpContact: enhance documentation to spell out that change notification is
-  via GObject::notify::alias etc.
-
-* tp_asv_new(), a shorthand for creating hash tables from strings to
-  slice-allocated GValues, along with tp_asv_set_* and tp_asv_take_* helpers to
-  add entries to such hash tables. (Fixes fd.o#20942)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.28 (2009-03-24)
-==================================
-
-The "a surprisingly meaty courgette" release.
-
-API changes:
-
-* Use the prefix for D-Bus errors specified by telepathy-spec, not something
-  telepathy-glib made up (changing .Errors to the correct .Error). This was
-  a regression in telepathy-glib 0.7.1.
-
-  Expected impact of this change:
-  * Connection managers will emit the correct errors as soon as the
-    telepathy-glib shared library is upgraded
-  * Clients that use TpConnection, TpChannel etc. will expect the correct
-    errors as soon as the shared library is upgraded
-  * Clients that match errors by string value using TP_ERROR_PREFIX will have
-    to be recompiled against the new telepathy-glib, but should have sane
-    fallback behaviour to treat the correct error strings as an unknown error
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.22, adding
-  TP_ARRAY_TYPE_SOCKET_ADDRESS_IP_LIST, TP_ARRAY_TYPE_STRING_STRING_MAP_LIST,
-  TP_STRUCT_TYPE_SOCKET_ADDRESS_IP
-
-* Extend the 'callable' example connection manager to support simulated
-  incoming calls, support simulated contacts who never answer, are busy or
-  terminate the call, and comply with telepathy-spec 0.17.22
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #20729: csh (chatroom) example connection manager: comply with
-  telepathy-spec 0.17.21 by always allowing the user to leave the Group
-
-* Cancel GetParameters call if the CM crashes, fixing an assertion failure
-  in tp_connection_manager_continue_introspection
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.27 (2009-03-17)
-==================================
-
-The "sliced woot" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* fd.o #18220: make it much less verbose to construct string/variant maps
-  (a{sv}) by adding functions like tp_g_value_slice_new_uint(), which are a
-  shortcut for a sequence like tp_g_value_slice_new (G_TYPE_UINT) followed by
-  g_value_set_uint
-
-* Make example connection managers installable (they might be useful for
-  testing UIs - use ./configure --enable-installed-examples if you want them)
-
-* Add an example connection manager that has dummy StreamedMedia channels
-
-* Add an example connection manager that has dummy ContactList channels
-  vaguely resembling the XMPP roster
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.21 (adding
-  TP_CHANNEL_GROUP_FLAG_MESSAGE_DEPART and
-  TP_CHANNEL_MEDIA_CAPABILITY_NAT_TRAVERSAL_ICE_UDP)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #20646: in TpChannel, when adding contacts to one of the Group sets,
-  remove them from both of the others
-
-* Use AM_PATH_PYTHON to detect the Python version
-
-* In TpGroupMixin, let implementations allow the self-handle to be removed
-  regardless of whether the CAN_REMOVE flag is set. This is meant to be how
-  you remove yourself gracefully from a chatroom or streamed media call.
-
-* fd.o #20165: fix a use-after-free in tp_base_connection_register() that
-  causes connection managers to assert if they have not already called
-  tp_dbus_daemon_dup() or tp_run_connection_manager() (regression in 0.7.26
-  which broke the telepathy-qt4 regression tests)
-
-* Fix some memory leaks when making TpContact objects, when holding handles in
-  TpContactsMixin, when filling contact attributes in TpPresenceMixin,
-  when setting simple presence, and in the regression tests
-
-* Update the valgrind suppressions file to cope with new telepathy-glib code,
-  GTest, and glibc 2.9
-
-* Fix compilation with gtkdoc 1.11, which is stricter about the contents of
-  Since: annotations, and parses more comments
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.26 (2009-02-16)
-==================================
-
-The "Leffe Radieuse" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Add tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready()
-
-* When constructing TpConnectionManager, if the .manager file is missing
-  or can't be read, always try to activate the connection manager (in
-  practice, this is what's wanted)
-
-* fd.o #18291: when listing connection managers, wait for them to all be ready
-
-* fd.o #18056: add method-based accessors for TpConnectionManager members
-
-* fd.o #17519: track the Connection's SelfHandle property in TpConnection
-
-* Add tp_dbus_daemon_dup(), convenient API to share a starter-bus connection
-
-* Generate GTypes for arrays of mappings, and improve use of the
-  type-generation functions
-
-* fd.o #19907: Add tp_intset_new_containing(), a convenient factory for sets
-  with exactly one member
-
-Deprecations:
-
-* Deprecate tp_get_bus_proxy()
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Reduce our reliance on making a DBusGProxy for the dbus-daemon (working
-  towards avoiding overly-broad NameOwnerChanged matches)
-
-* fd.o #18832 (partially addressed): document that tp_get_bus() can call
-  exit() and why, and discourage it in processes that aren't totally reliant
-  on D-Bus
-
-* fd.o #18207: reliably emit TpConnectionManager::got-info signal (although
-  tp_connection_manager_call_when_ready() should be used instead)
-
-* Fix some assertion failures in TpConnectionManager when .manager files
-  contain surprising types
-
-* fd.o #19054: Parse all currently supported types in .manager files
-
-* fd.o #20096: don't consider InvalidHandle to be fatal for
-  tp_connection_get_contacts_by_id (spec 0.17.18 compliance)
-
-Miscellaneous:
-
-* Add regression test coverage for TpConnectionManager
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.25 (2009-01-30)
-==================================
-
-The "Paradise Lost" release.
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #17588: don't break ABI if errors are re-ordered in a future spec
-  version
-
-* fd.o #19688: don't assert when getting contacts by ID if none of the
-  identifiers supplied are valid
-
-* TpPresenceMixin: don't allow setting statuses that are flagged as not
-  settable on the user themselves
-
-* TpPresenceMixin: never allow statuses of type OFFLINE, UNKNOWN or ERROR to
-  be set on the user themselves, and warn if the connection manager got this
-  wrong
-
-* Fix a memory leak in tp_presence_mixin_get_statuses() (sorry Jonathon,
-  your patch got lost during the release process...)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.24 (2009-01-28)
-==================================
-
-The "Divide By Cucumber Error" release.
-
-API changes:
-
-* When a TpConnection is invalidated due to disconnection, the error will now
-  be chosen from the TP_ERRORS domain in most cases. Previously, the
-  TP_ERROR_DISCONNECTED domain was used. This change is necessary to support
-  the extensible error reporting introduced in spec 0.17.19.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.19
-  - Many new errors in the TP_ERRORS domain
-  - Connection.ConnectionError signal for extensible error reporting
-
-* Add a client binding for the extensible error reporting provided
-  by the ConnectionError signal
-
-* Use a simple Python implementation of XInclude, rather than xsltproc, for
-  easier Windows porting
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Add File Transfer to the documentation
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.23 (2009-01-20)
-==================================
-
-The "new in version 0.7.1, and allegedly also in 0.7.21" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to spec version 0.17.18
-  - Added the File Transfer channel type
-  - Added TpRichPresenceAccessControlType and
-    TP_STRUCT_TYPE_RICH_PRESENCE_ACCESS_CONTROL
-  - RequestHandles raises NotImplemented for bad handle types or InvalidHandle
-    for bad identifiers (fd.o #19609)
-  - MediaStreamHandler has a CodecsUpdated method
-  - Methods automatically generated by telepathy-glib now have names
-    for all "out" arguments, which should make the documentation easier to use
-
-* Use tp:name-for-bindings to construct the C name for D-Bus methods etc.,
-  which will result in better C function naming for future D-Bus interfaces
-  like DBusTube
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Remove symbols from 0.7.21.abi that were already in 0.7.1.abi (GNU ld
-  seems to respond by giving them the older version, so no harm was done
-  to the ABI, but it broke the Debian packages)
-
-* Make make-version-script.py fail if that ever happens again
-
-* Annotate things added in 0.7.21 with the correct "Since:" indicator
-
-* Correct the documentation for tp_list_connection_names()
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.22 (2009-01-13)
-==================================
-
-The "TP_STRUCT_TYPE_BROWN_PAPER_BAG" release.
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Accept message=NULL in tp_group_mixin_change_members, as documented and true
-  in the past, rather than crashing.
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.21 (2009-01-12)
-==================================
-
-The "TP_HASH_TYPE_PINT_HOBGOBLIN_MOUTH_MAP" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to spec version 0.17.17
-  - Added TP_HASH_TYPE_HANDLE_IDENTIFIER_MAP and
-    TP_HASH_TYPE_MESSAGE_PART_CONTENT_MAP
-
-* (Finally) merged TpMessageMixin, which can be used in place of TpTextMixin to
-  implement the Messages interface on Text channels.
-
-* The examples have been made more exemplary, using TpChannelManager in place
-  of TpChannelFactoryIface, implementing Destroyable and respawning 1-1 text
-  channels which are closed with pending messages.
-  (fd.o #17632)
-
-* Added a TP_COMPILER_WARNINGS macro to simplify choosing compiler warnings in
-  configure.ac, and forked a version of AS_COMPILER_FLAG that supports C++ so
-  that TP_COMPILER_WARNINGS can be used for C++ projects (such as
-  telepathy-qt4).  Other projects using telepathy-glib's warnings might want to
-  copy m4/tp-compiler-*.m4 and use TP_COMPILER_WARNINGS.
-
-* Added support to TpGroupMixin for emitting the MembersChangedDetailed signal
-  (fd.o #19050 and #19052), and to TpChannel for listening to it when possible
-  (fd.o #19051).
-
-* Added tp_channel_get_identifier
-
-* Added support for parsing the dbus-property CM parameter flag (introduced in
-  spec 0.17.16) from .manager files (fd.o #19053).
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Various Win32 portability fixes (from Sunil Mohan Adapa on fd.o #19461).
-
-* fd.o #19101: tp_connection_get_contacts_by_id() crashes
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.20 (2008-12-14)
-==================================
-
-The "xfs_freeze stole the night" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to spec version 0.17.16
-  - Generate code for the Messages interface, which is now undrafted.
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #18845: don't throw a critical error from TpConnection if the
-  corresponding CM falls off the bus.
-
-* fd.o #18926: avoid using a non-top-level GLib header
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.19 (2008-12-01)
-==================================
-
-The "fast path" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* TpContact now has a fast path using the Contacts interface to reduce
-  D-Bus round-trips, if supported
-
-* tp_connection_get_contact_attributes integrates the Contacts interface
-  with TpConnection's handle reference tracking at a lower level
-
-* TpChannel now tracks its immutable properties (as provided by
-  Requests.NewChannels, Requests.CreateChannel and Requests.EnsureChannel),
-  can be constructed from a dictionary of immutable properties
-  (tp_channel_new_from_properties), and has a fast path using GetAll to reduce
-  round trips (if supported); when constructed from a dictionary of immutable
-  properties, non-Group channels should become 'ready' in a single round-trip
-  (fd.o #17427)
-
-* Only use the Properties mixin in there are properties defined
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #15092: mixins in a superclass should now work correctly in subclasses
-
-* fd.o #18151: tp_base_connection_dispose asserts if there are two connections to the same account
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.18 (2008-11-03)
-==================================
-
-The "320 GB" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to spec 0.17.14
-  * test, and generate code for, the Destroyable interface
-  * add support for the SCROLLBACK and RESCUED message flags in Text
-  * add tp_text_mixin_set_rescued(), for CMs to call when respawning a channel,
-    and tp_text_mixin_receive_with_flags(), for CMs to call when receiving
-    scrollback messages
-  * update echo example CM's Text support to spec 0.17.14
-  * CreateChannel etc. return before NewChannels, which is emitted before
-    NewChannel
-
-* Add TpContact, an object representing a contact, with inspection of various
-  attributes (e.g. alias, avatar token and SimplePresence)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* In TpContactsMixin, always return info from interface TP_IFACE_CONNECTION
-  even if the client didn't ask for it, since the spec says we should
-
-* Add a simple regression test for TpContactsMixin
-
-* Use unsigned int (rather than gboolean, which is signed!) for bitfields
-
-* Fix a memory leak when a TpChannel with the Group interface is freed
-
-* Fix a memory leak in tp_connection_unref_handles when no handles are released
-
-* Fix some memory leaks in the regression tests
-
-* Re-enable the coding style check and fix various things it complained about
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.17 (2008-10-14)
-==================================
-
-The "inexplicable bonus pizza" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to spec 0.17.13, which adds Requested, InitiatorHandle and
-  InitiatorID properties to Channel
-
-* Updated two example CMs (echo and channelspecific) to spec 0.17.13 too
-
-* Added handle reference-counting helpers, which should be used instead
-  of using the HoldHandles, RequestHandles and ReleaseHandles D-Bus API
-  directly
-
-* Added C accessors for TpProxy's read-only properties, and for
-  TpConnection's connection-ready property
-
-* Added some infrastructure for test coverage analysis using lcov
-
-* Moved some of the release/checking machinery to tools/telepathy.am
-  for easy pasting into other Telepathy projects
-
-* The first time TP_ERRORS is used, the error domain is now automatically
-  registered with dbus-glib
-
-* Added sanity checks (g_return_if_fail/g_critical) to TpConnection,
-  TpProxy, TpDBusDaemon and tp_dbus_check_* public API
-
-Fixes:
-
-* tp_handle_is_valid and tp_handles_are_valid raise InvalidHandle on failure,
-  not InvalidArgument (numerous methods in telepathy-spec require
-  InvalidHandle to be raised, so this should make most CMs more
-  spec-compliant)
-
-* The test and example CMs raise NotAvailable on syntactically incorrect
-  strings, rather than InvalidArgument (which is not spec-compliant)
-
-* The example valgrind suppressions file now works if libdbus was not
-  installed in /usr, or if glibc is version 2.7
-
-* fd.o #17502: fixed documentation of the #include for TpDBusPropertiesMixin
-
-* Fixed a memory leak in TpContactsMixin
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.16 (2008-09-26)
-==================================
-
-The "could you say that again? I was looking at that bee" release.
-
-Dependencies:
-
-* To use --enable-gtk-doc you must now have at least gtkdoc 1.10
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to spec 0.17.12, mainly featuring EnsureChannel
-
-* We now support EnsureChannel on the Requests interface - to implement this,
-  put a suitable function pointer in TpChannelManagerIface::ensure_channel
-
-* Channel factories' RequestChannel implementations no longer need to
-  validate handles - TpBaseConnection now does this automatically
-
-* Added a function to compare presence types in order of "availability"
-
-Fixes:
-
-* The gtkdoc now documents GInterfaces' signals and properties (fd.o #16995,
-  fd.o #17308)
-
-* TpBaseConnection::self_handle is unreffed and cleared slightly later,
-  for the benefit of channel managers that want to use it in their
-  status-changed(Disconnected) callback
-
-* Fixed a compiler warning on platforms with daemon(3) in their libc
-
-* TpChannelManager can no longer be crashed by asking for unsupported
-  handle types
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.15 (2008-09-18)
-==================================
-
-The "plumbing" release.
-
-Dependencies:
-
-* GLib and GObject must be at least version 2.16 (this was accidentally the
-  case in 0.7.14 too, but the dependency is now official). (fd.o #17213)
-
-Deprecations:
-
-* TpBaseConnection implementations should use the new method
-  tp_base_connection_set_self_handle instead of setting the self_handle member
-  directly. To comply with spec 0.17.10, if the self-handle changes after the
-  status becomes CONNECTED, tp_base_connection_set_self_handle *must* be used.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to specification 0.17.10, which includes the SelfHandleChanged signal
-  and SelfHandle property...
-
-* ... and then to specification 0.17.11, which includes the stable Requests
-  interface with the CreateChannel method (but not EnsureChannel, which is
-  planned for a future spec.).
-
-* Added support for the Requests interface to TpBaseConnection, using the new
-  interfaces TpChannelManager and TpExportableChannel (which are intended to
-  replace TpChannelFactoryIface and TpChannelIface).
-
-* Added some utility functions: tp_dbus_properties_mixin_make_properties_hash,
-  tp_strv_contains
-
-* with-session-bus.sh (used for the tests) optionally records dbus-monitor
-  output
-
-* telepathy-glib-uninstalled.pc is generated in source builds. It's now
-  easier to compile dependent projects against an uninstalled copy of
-  telepathy-glib >= 0.7.15, like this:
-
-  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/src/telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib ./autogen.sh
-
-  (if $HOME/src/telepathy-glib is the directory containing this file)
-
-Fixes:
-
-* TP_BASE_CONNECTION_ERROR_IF_NOT_CONNECTED no longer causes compiler warnings
-  when used from a C++ source file
-
-* glib-client-gen.py generates correct code for 64-bit unsigned integers
-
-Release notes for projects using code generation:
-
-* If you generate client-side code, update glib-client-gen.py to avoid wrong
-  code generation for unsigned 64-bit integer arguments. This will cause your
-  project to require telepathy-glib >= 0.7.3
-
-* If you use a copy of with-session-bus.sh for regression tests, consider
-  updating it to add support for logging dbus-monitor
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.14 (2008-08-19)
-==================================
-
-The "M'era Luna" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to specification 0.17.9
-  - Connection.Interface.Contacts interface ("the inspectotron"), which allows
-    mass contact-handle holding and inspection in a single round-trip
-  - Channel.TargetID property, for further round-trip reduction
-
-* Added TpContactsMixin, a generic implementation of the Contacts interface
-
-* Moved source code control from darcs to git (see README for details)
-
-* Added tp_connection_get_status() convenience accessor for status and
-  status-reason properties
-
-* Altered tp_debug_divert_messages() to support a "+" prefix to filenames,
-  which changes the mode from truncate to append: you can now set something
-  like GABBLE_LOGFILE="+gabble.log" to append to an existing log
-
-* Updated AUTHORS
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.13 (2008-07-29)
-==================================
-
-The "presence made easy" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* TpPresenceMixin implements the new SimplePresence interface
-
-* The spec text and doc-generator.xsl have been updated
-
-* The coding-style checks have been removed
-
-* A couple of supporting functions for Requests API development have
-  been added (tp_text_mixin_has_pending_messages and
-  tp_dbus_properties_mixin_get)
-
-Release notes for projects using code generation:
-
-* We now ship the more pedantic doc-generator.xsl from telepathy-spec 0.17.8:
-  - you'll probably need to clean up your spec markup!
-  - set the allow-undefined-interfaces XSLT parameter to a true value (e.g.
-    run xsltproc with --param allow-undefined-interfaces "true()") if you are
-    compiling documentation for interfaces that are not self-contained
-    (e.g. Telepathy extensions that reference the main Telepathy spec)
-
-* If you're trying to use Telepathy coding style, upgrading the coding-style
-  checks is recommended, but might require you to make code changes
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.12 (2008-07-21)
-==================================
-
-The "Channel.Interface.Useful" release.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* TpChannel and TpConnection can be subclassed (fd.o #14828, #14829)
-
-* TpChannel has various convenience methods like tp_channel_get_channel_type(),
-  which can be used as an alternative to its GObject properties
-
-* Internally, TpChannel tries to use D-Bus core Properties (the GetAll
-  method) to reduce round-trips; if that fails, it will automatically fall
-  back to a series of normal method calls
-
-* TpChannel tracks the Group interface automatically (fd.o #14180)
-
-* tp_asv_size() has been added to the a{sv} convenience API, which now has
-  its own file in the documentation
-
-Fixes:
-
-* For the moment, TpDBusPropertiesMixin raises Telepathy errors rather than
-  D-Bus core errors on failure, due to fd.o #16776 in dbus-glib causing an
-  assertion when DBUS_GERROR errors are raised
-
-* TpConnectionManager no longer causes a crash if destroyed before it has
-  read the .manager file (fd.o #16774, thanks to Sunil Mohan Adapa for the
-  patch)
-
-Dependencies:
-
-* We no longer support automake 1.8.x, since even Maemo has had 1.9 for a
-  while. We don't yet use any automake 1.9 features, but we will no longer
-  test with 1.8 unless someone explains to me why a 4 year old version is
-  still relevant :-)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.11 (2008-07-02)
-==================================
-
-The "design is hard" release.
-
-This is mainly a bugfix release.
-
-Fixes:
-
-* fd.o #16307: in TpConnection, don't assert when a connection goes CONNECTED
-  while a GetStatus call is pending
-
-* In TpDBusPropertiesMixin: return properly if Get, Set or GetAll are called
-  on nonexistent interfaces or properties; if the wrong type is passed to Set,
-  coerce it to the right type (if possible) and actually use the right type;
-  and if the coercion fails, don't leak memory
-
-* In libglibcodegen (code generation), use the right GType for arrays of
-  object-path
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Use Python rather than XSLT for code generation, for improved maintainability
-
-Release notes for projects using code generation:
-
-* All the XSLT (except doc-generator.xsl and identity.xsl) has been rewritten
-  in Python. It should produce identical results, but be careful when updating!
-
-* You must update libglibcodegen to this version if there are arrays of
-  object-path in your API, otherwise it just won't work
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.10 (2008-06-06)
-==================================
-
-The "properties everywhere" release.
-
-Again, this version mainly contains infrastructure to support future APIs,
-like the planned Requests API.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.7
-  - Channel gained immutable/read-only ChannelType, TargetHandleType,
-    TargetHandle and Interfaces properties
-
-* TpGroupMixin now supports the Group properties introduced in the previous
-  version
-
-* Added an example connection manager with channel-specific handles in
-  chatrooms
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.9 (2008-05-30)
-=================================
-
-The "scaffolding" release.
-
-This version mostly contains infrastructure to support APIs that are coming
-soon, but haven't got through the review process yet.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.5
-  - RoomList gained a read-only Server property
-  - Text gained TP_CHANNEL_TEXT_MESSAGE_FLAG_NON_TEXT_CONTENT,
-    TP_CHANNEL_TEXT_MESSAGE_TYPE_DELIVERY_REPORT to support the future
-    Messages and DeliveryReporting interfaces
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.6
-  - Group properties (but the group mixin does not yet implement them)
-  - Group HandleOwnersChanged, SelfHandleChanged
-  - TP_HASH_TYPE_CHANNEL_OWNER_MAP
-
-* New functions tp_asv_get_uint32() etc. to make it easier to use a{sv}
-  hash tables (implemented in dbus-glib as a GHashTable of gchar * => GValue *)
-
-* Enhance TpDBusPropertiesMixin so that mixins can provide properties more
-  easily
-
-* Start porting the remaining XSLT to Python for better maintainability
-
-Fixes:
-
-* TpProxy: Avoid a misleading debug message every time a pending call
-  completes, and probably fix detection of crashing services
-
-* tp_dbus_check_valid_interface_name: correctly detect that a name with a
-  dot followed by a digit is invalid
-
-* Add a Valgrind suppression for SELinux-related ld.so initialization (not our
-  problem)
-
-Release notes for projects using code-generation:
-
-* When you update tools copied from telepathy-glib, be aware that
-  libglibcodegen.py now depends on libtpcodegen.py, and that some of the
-  formerly-XSLT tools have been replaced by Python versions
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.8 (2008-05-09)
-=================================
-
-The "Hold, unheld" release
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Update to telepathy-spec 0.17.4
-  - add Hold API to code-generation
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Make coding-style check less fragile
-
-Recommended updates for projects using check-coding-style.mk:
-
-* Update check-coding-style.mk
-
-* In every Makefile where check-coding-style.mk is used, make check-local
-  depend on check-coding-style (this is no longer done automatically)
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.7 (2008-05-02)
-=================================
-
-The "Old Trip" release.
-
-API changes:
-
-* It is an error to pass non-NULL user_data, weak_object or destroy arguments
-  when making an asynchronous method call with callback == NULL (i.e.
-  ignoring the reply) - doing this would make no sense
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Implement tp_connection_call_when_ready, tp_channel_call_when_ready -
-  fully async variants of the existing run_when_ready API (fd.o #15300)
-
-* Documentation: divide up the service-side Channel interfaces by topic,
-  in the same way the client-side ones were already divided up
-
-* TpTextMixin: drop the futile attempt to limit memory consumption. We were
-  doing it wrong, and a typical connection manager has so many ways it can
-  be induced to consume memory that trying to guard against this particular
-  case by truncating or dropping messages seems likely to cause more problems
-  than it fixes.
-
-* TpTextMixin: save a malloc/free cycle in GetMessageTypes
-
-* TpGroupMixin: don't emit GroupFlagsChanged(0, 0)
-
-* Log a message when disconnected from the D-Bus session bus
-
-* Improve ABI-checking functionality so symbols only have to be whitelisted
-  just before a release
-
-Fixes:
-
-* TpBaseConnection: don't return from Disconnect() until disconnection has
-  fully completed (fd.o #15796)
-
-* libglibcodegen.py: generate correct bindings for arrays of object-path (ao)
-
-* glib-client-gen.py: cope correctly with Unicode in the spec
-
-* doc-generator.xsl: update from telepathy-spec to cope with arrays of mappings
-
-* When a channel's connection becomes invalidated, don't warn if the
-  resulting invalidation causes the channel to be freed (fd.o #15644)
-
-* In tp_handle_lookup() on a dynamic handle repository, if the ID is valid
-  but there is no handle, raise the error NotAvailable, instead of returning
-  0 with no error set (fd.o #15387)
-
-* When asynchronous method calls are made on an unsupported interface, call
-  the user-supplied destroy() callback on the user_data (fd.o #15530)
-
-* TpTextMixin: fix a memory leak in ListPendingMessages
-
-* Use automake 1.8 if available, to verify that we can still build on such
-  an old version
-
-* When running under valgrind with the recommended suppressions, don't
-  complain about libc dlopen initialization caused by the handle-leak debug
-  code
-
-Recommended updates for projects using code-generation:
-
-* Update libglibcodegen.py to avoid a crash if arrays of object-path appear
-  in your API in future
-
-* Update glib-client-gen.py to avoid fd.o #15530; this will cause your project
-  to require telepathy-glib >= 0.7.3
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.6 (2008-04-03)
-=================================
-
-The "hold the assertions" release.
-
-API changes:
-
-* API was added to fix fd.o #15325. Projects that add extension interfaces
-  to TpChannel or TpConnection might suffer from assertion failures if those
-  interfaces are later added to telepathy-glib, unless they follow the
-  recommendations below. Projects that do not use the telepathy-glib code
-  generation tools are unaffected.
-
-* Related to the above, extending TpDBusDaemon, TpMediaStreamHandler,
-  TpMediaSessionHandler and TpConnectionManager is officially not supported
-  at this time.
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to specification 0.17.3
-  - supports the CallState interface, for receiving notifications of a
-    remote contact or device's state (currently supported states are: ringing,
-    queued, placed us on hold)
-  - MediaStreamHandler supports some new Hold-related API
-  - the Hold interface is *not* yet supported, use private code-generation
-    (as seen in telepathy-sofiasip) for now
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Doesn't assert in client code when a connection's GetInterfaces method fails
-  (fd.o #15306)
-
-* The build process works on platforms without -Wl,-O1 and
-  -Wl,--version-script, such as Mac OS X (fd.o #15026)
-
-* test-handle-set now runs under a temporary session bus, so the tests can work
-  in platforms without working D-Bus autolaunch
-
-* Code generation uses G_GNUC_UNUSED where necessary, so you can use the
-  generated code in projects with stricter warning flags than telepathy-glib
-  itself
-
-* A couple of unterminated argument lists when initializing the allowed
-  message types for the text mixin have been fixed
-
-* glib-client-gen.py optionally inserts a guard against assertion failures
-  caused by a local extension overriding an interface that is also now provided
-  by telepathy-glib (fd.o #15325)
-
-* glib-client-gen.py has a mechanism to allow its output to be made
-  backwards-compatible: specify --tp-proxy-api=x.y.z where x.y.z is the oldest
-  version of telepathy-glib you check for in configure.ac (it must be at
-  least 0.7.6)
-
-Recommended updates for projects using telepathy-glib code generation:
-
-* Update glib-client-gen.py from telepathy-glib, and invoke it with
-  the extra argument "--tp-proxy-api=0.7.6", to fix #15325 (this will make
-  the generated code require telepathy-glib 0.7.6)
-
-* Before calling tp_proxy_or_subclass_hook_on_interface_add for an existing
-  class, call tp_proxy_init_known_interfaces,
-  tp_connection_init_known_interfaces or tp_channel_init_known_interfaces.
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.5 (2008-03-07)
-=================================
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Updated to specification 0.17.2
-  - GType-generating functions for Media_Session_Handler_Info
-  - Added TP_CONN_MGR_PARAM_FLAG_SECRET
-
-Fixes:
-
-* No longer crashes if a proxy is invalidated while still invoking signal
-  callbacks (fd.o #14854)
-
-* Compilation now works on architectures with function descriptors, like ppc64
-  (fd.o #14852, thanks Brian Pepple)
-
-* TpChannel no longer crashes if GetInterfaces() returns an error or an
-  empty list (fd.o #14855)
-
-* Linking examples no longer fails in environments where .la files exist for
-  system libraries
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.4 (2008-03-04)
-=================================
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Refactoring and life-cycle fixes in TpProxy, including some assertions
-  during method-call and signal-connection cancellation (fd.o #14750; fixes a
-  crash in development versions of Mission Control)
-
-* Maps "_" back to "-" in protocol names seen in bus names (fd.o #14667;
-  fixes telepathy-inspector 0.5.1 not displaying Salut connections)
-
-* Does not leak the GError when connecting to signals on an unsupported
-  interface (fd.o #14746)
-
-* Builds with more warnings by default, for additional strictness
-
-* Improvements to example client code:
-  - make example_cli_init() safe to call multiple times
-  - generate signals-marshal.list in a way that avoids more gcc warnings
-
-Recommended updates for projects using telepathy-glib code generation:
-
-* Update glib-client-gen.py from telepathy-glib to fix #14746 (this will make
-  the generated code require telepathy-glib 0.7.3)
-* Consider updating *_cli_init() and extensions/Makefile.am to resemble the
-  examples
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.3 (2008-02-20)
-=================================
-
-Requirements:
-
-* pkg-config 0.21 is now required
-
-* gtkdoc 1.8 is recommended
-
-Enhancements:
-
-* Supports org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties with a mixin for services, and
-  extensions to auto-generated code
-
-Fixes:
-
-* Fixed a crash that could occur when pending calls on otherwise unreferenced
-  proxies are cancelled, e.g. during teardown in telepathy-stream-engine
-  (fd.o #14576)
-
-* Correct client-side bindings are generated for methods that return a variant
-  (e.g. o.fd.DBus.Properties.Get) fixing potential crashes in clients
-
-* tp_dbus_check_valid_object_path allows "/" and disallows "//", not the
-  reverse
-
-* Partially works around some gtkdoc 1.7 bugs (if your gtkdoc is 1.7 you'll
-  still lose the "Telepathy protocol enumerations" section)
-
-* Uses pkg-config's Requires.private feature to reduce shared library
-  interdependencies
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.2 (2008-02-11)
-=================================
-
-* Fixed incorrect GValue code that caused Empathy to assert on
-  Room -> Join New...
-
-* Added support for the D-Bus core Properties, Introspect and Peer interfaces
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.1 (2008-01-04)
-=================================
-
-This is a major feature release, adding client-side code which continues the
-process of making libtelepathy obsolete.
-
-* Implements specification 0.17.1
-  - it is a fatal error for TpBaseConnectionManagerClass::cm_dbus_name not to
-    conform to the specification (briefly: it must match
-    /[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]+/)
-  - connections cannot be opened for protocols not matching
-    /[A-Za-z-][A-Za-z0-9-]+/
-
-* Initial client-side code added:
-  - TpProxy, a much more capable version of DBusGProxy (it more closely
-    resembles a dbus-python ProxyObject, with one object per connection,
-    channel etc. rather than one per interface)
-  - auto-generation machinery for client call wrappers (namespaced tp_cli_*)
-  - TpDBusDaemon, a TpProxy subclass to talk to the bus daemon
-  - TpChannel, a channel (replaces libtelepathy's TpChan)
-  - TpConnection, a connection (replaces libtelepathy's TpConn)
-  - TpConnectionManager, a connection manager (replaces libtelepathy's
-    TpConnMgr)
-  - TpMediaStreamHandler and TpMediaSessionHandler, media signalling helpers
-  - Correct algorithms for listing connection managers, listing connections,
-    and reading .manager files (as documented in the 0.17.1 spec)
-
-* Examples extended:
-  - various simple client examples
-  - an "echo" connection manager
-  - an extended connection manager and client (implementing a hypothetical
-    Hats interface), to illustrate how to support experimental or extension
-    interfaces in services and clients
-
-* Miscellaneous:
-  - tp_debug_divert_messages (adapted from Gabble)
-  - tp_debug_timestamped_log_handler (adapted from Gabble)
-  - tp_cm_param_setter_offset now supports byte-array params
-
-* Versioned symbols
-  - versions are of the form TELEPATHY_GLIB_x.y.z
-  - unreleased development builds use versions containing _UNRELEASED
-    to force relinking against a proper version
-
-telepathy-glib 0.7.0 (2007-11-22)
-=================================
-
-This is the first release from the 0.7.0 development branch, and
-prepares the way for the client-side code I'm going to be merging soon.
-
-* Enums etc. updated to specification 0.17.0
-* Improved support for connection managers whose parameters aren't known
-  at compile time (*coughhazecough* :-)
-* Build system refactoring to make it less weird
-* GType-generating functions and macros in gtypes.h cache the results of calls
-  to dbus-glib type lookup functions, and give data types convenient names
-* Functions and macros to generate GQuarks for interface names (which will
-  be used extensively by client code in future)
-* The beginning of an examples/ directory, containing the simplest possible
-  example connection manager (it doesn't support any protocols)
-* Dependencies increased to libdbus 0.93, dbus-glib 0.73, glib 2.10
-- 
1.5.6.5
