dbus-glib 0.84

[Colin Walters]

A new release of dbus-glib is now available:

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/dbus-glib-0.84.tar.gz

There are some compatibility fixes here, but I should call out for OS
builders commit  34636b12c62523b9db789b0fbeb3a86782debf10 where you no
longer have to pass
--with-introspect-xml to configure.

    Add GMainContext to dbus_g_bus_get_private, add a test case

    To even sort of work with threads right now, a common workaround
    is to open a private connection.  This patch more explicitly
    supports creating a private connection, associating it with
    the GMainContext which will be used for a thread.

    Also, add a (very simple) test case which just uses a private
    connection for the default main context.

    dbus-gvalue: set an error when demarshal_basic doesn't recognize type

    By passing dbus_g_proxy_call an incorrect signature, we can cause
    the function to fail but not provide any error message (if
    G_DISABLE_ASSERT is defined).  As smvc pointed out, this can also
    become a runtime error when a telepathy CM changes signature, but
    the client hasn't been updated.  As such, g_assert isn't an appropriate
    action.  See http://bugs.debian.org/541632 for more information.

    This patch causes it to set an error when demarshalling a type that it's
    not expecting.  Instead of a NULL error, one instead
    sees something like the following when the method returns a path
    object but the client expected a string:

    "modem Create() failed: Expected type gchararray, got type code 'o'"

    Import dbus-bus-introspect.xml upstream

    Rather than having consumers pass an externally-generated XML file,
    just include one here.  In practice our target audience is OS builders,
    who if they have the capability to update dbus, also have the capability
    to update dbus-glib.

    Copy object registration list when unregistering.

    Since the list of registrations on the object is modified when each path
    is removed, iterating it directly is wrong: after the first pass of the
    loop, 'iter' would point to a link which has been freed.

    Only re-set registration list if it's non-empty

    Support duplicate object registrations

    Before commit e869fda4, we semi-supported registering the
    same object multiple times.  We'd accept messages for both paths,
    however when signals were emitted, they'd both use the first object
    path.

    That commit simply disallowed multiple registrations, which broke
    backwards compatibility with some projects like PolicyKit which
    had the same object registered with different paths.

    With this commit, explicitly allow and support multiple registrations.
    The primary change is that signals are now emitted once for each
    registration path of an object, using the correct path.
