D-Bus Python Bindings 0.82.0 (2007-06-19)
=========================================

The "Old Mortality" release.

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-python/dbus-python-0.82.0.tar.gz
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-python/dbus-python-0.82.0.tar.gz.asc
md5: 024522ffba612f0d41b64269e925835c *dbus-python-0.82.0.tar.gz
sha1: fe54c4674c7ae28d21b5f825c81939b3002a7a59 *dbus-python-0.82.0.tar.gz

Features:

* dbus.service.Object can start off with no Connection or object path, and
  become exported later. If suitable class attributes are set, objects can
  even be exported on multiple connections, or with multiple object-paths,
  or both.

* dbus.service.FallbackObject implements a whole subtree of object-path space
  (fd.o #9295).

* ``@method`` accepts a parameter ``connection_keyword`` so methods can find
  out which connection to use for any follow-up actions.

* ``@signal`` has a new parameter ``rel_path_keyword`` which gets the path at
  which to emit the signal, relative to the path of the FallbackObject.
  ``path_keyword`` is now deprecated, and will raise an exception if used
  on an object with ``SUPPORTS_MULTIPLE_OBJECT_PATHS``, including any
  ``FallbackObject``.

Fixes:

* In watch_name_owner, only the desired name is watched!

* When cleaning up signal matches, errors are ignored. This avoids using up
  scarce pending-call allowance on dbus-daemon < 1.1, and emitting error
  messages if we get disconnected.

* Signal handlers which are bound to a unique name are automatically
  disconnected when the unique name goes away, reducing the likelihood that
  applications will leak signal matches.

* Some corrections were made to the tutorial (@service and @method take a
  parameter dbus_interface, not just interface; fd.o #11209).

* ${PYTHON}-config is used to get the Python include path (patch from
  Sebastien Bacher/Ubuntu, fd.o #11282).

Full changes below.

Regards,
	Simon

    Update NEWS with recent changes; next version should be 0.82.0 I think

    Use python-config to get Python cppflags (patch from Ubuntu, fd.o #11282).
    Thanks to Sebastien Bacher.

commit 543ebc088ffbef9a52de333d99361b47301571b3

    Implement fallback objects.
    In the process, simplify the signal decorator a bit - don't allow the signal
    to be emitted from a subset of interfaces (removing connection_keyword),
    deprecate path_keyword, disallow path_keyword on objects that support multiple
    object paths, and add rel_path_keyword. This is an API removal since previous
    patches, but is compatible with the last release.

    dbus.bus: Ignore any errors while cleaning up signal matches, so we can make the call asynchronously

commit 7f2e0bfe0c205af512af716f4fcb7b8508269eb7
Author: Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>
Date:   Mon Jun 11 14:51:59 2007 +0100

    dbus.service: Allow objects to start off unexported, and become exported later.
    Also allow them to be exported on more than one object path or even connection.
    dbus.decorators: Allow connection_keyword on signals and methods, so we can
    tell which connection to use for any follow-up actions.

commit cc6ea2758794601e2747ad9deccf7c8e887b0100
Author: Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>
Date:   Thu Jun 7 20:11:57 2007 +0100

    dbus.bus: when a unique name goes away, disconnect all signal handlers.
    Unique names are not recycled, so no more signals can arrive for that name.
