From smcv at collabora.com Thu Feb 27 18:04:31 2025 From: smcv at collabora.com (Simon McVittie) Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:04:31 +0000 Subject: Announcing dbus 1.16.2 (stable bugfix release) Message-ID: dbus is the reference implementation of D-Bus, a message bus for communication between applications and system services. This is a stable-branch bug-fix release with minor changes. git tag: dbus-1.16.2 Release notes for 1.16.x generally ================================== The documentation updates in this release include some clarifications to the 1.16.0 announcement in the NEWS file, which I've copied here: ? As a result of the move from Autotools to Meson as the recommended build system on Unix, the names of all build-time options have changed. Not all Meson options are a 1:1 replacement for their closest equivalent in Autotools, so the options used for a dbus build should be reviewed. ? If `meson install` is run as root, and traditional (non-systemd) activation is enabled, the ownership and setuid permission of dbus-daemon-launch-helper are not set automatically. This is not the same as the historical behaviour of the Autotools build system, which would set the ownership and permissions automatically if run as uid 0. The ownership and permissions must now be set by OS distribution packaging, or as a manual post-installation step if dbus is installed directly without going via a packaging system (which is not recommended). Release notes for 1.16.2 ======================== Build system: ? The branch used for development releases has been renamed to `main`. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for details of how to update existing checkouts. (dbus#530, Simon McVittie) Bug fixes: ? On Linux, fix build regression with libselinux ? 3.8 and verbose mode enabled (Debian#1096212, dbus!511; Simon McVittie) Internal changes: ?
