I'm proud to announce the first standalone version of telepathy-glib!

telepathy-glib is a GLib binding for the Telepathy D-Bus protocol,
derived from code originating in Gabble.

It currently only supports the service (connection manager) side of the
protocol; the plan is that at some later date it will gain client
functionality similar to that found in libtelepathy, at which point
libtelepathy will become obsolete.

This release is no longer distributed as part of Gabble, but exists as a
separate Darcs repository and source tarball. This is also the first
telepathy-glib release to build an API- and ABI-stable shared library.

Other changes of interest to connection manager authors:

- Some of the TpSvc* GInterfaces have been moved to a new static library,
  telepathy-glib-unstable. These correspond to D-Bus interfaces from
  the specification for which we're not confident that the API and ABI
  will remain stable. Interfaces will move from telepathy-glib-unstable
  to telepathy-glib when we're confident that they won't cause
  excessively many SONAME increments due to incompatible changes.

  telepathy-glib-unstable currently contains the ContactInfo
  (deprecated), Forwarding, Privacy and Renaming connection interfaces;
  the ContactSearch channel type; and the Hold (deprecated) and Transfer
  channel interfaces. Everything else is in the main library. I hope to
  move Renaming into the main library once we've defined its semantics
  better.

- The groups mixin API change has been completed. CM authors can
  remove the #define _TP_CM_UPDATED_FOR_0_5_7 hack if they depend on
  telepathy-glib >= 0.5.10 instead.

- For RequestConnection parameters with the HAS_DEFAULT flag, the struct
  member in the opaque structure is now set to the default value if the
  parameter is not present. The parameter ID is still not placed in
  the params_present TpIntSet, however. This should make life easier in
  CMs with many defaulted parameters, like Idle.

- CMs can now validate or normalize the RequestConnection parameters
  using a "filter" callback function. If any parameters are rejected by
  the corresponding callback, cls->new_connection won't be called.
  Two generic filter functions, tp_cm_param_filter_string_nonempty () and
  tp_cm_param_filter_uint_nonzero (), are provided by telepathy-glib; I
  plan to add more in future (in particular, IP/FQDN validation).

- Mandatory string parameters to RequestConnection are now allowed to be
  present with an empty value; they would previously be rejected without
  calling cls->new_connection. If empty strings are unacceptable, CM
  authors should now validate them with tp_cm_param_filter_string_nonempty ().

The full Darcs changelog since telepathy-gabble 0.5.9 follows (note that
some of these changes refer to code that existed in Gabble but
has been deleted from telepathy-glib).

Thu Apr 19 13:39:48 BST 2007  Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>
  * Improve build system for unstable interfaces:
  * Remove unstable interfaces from svc-* public headers.
  * Generate stable interfaces whitelist from those public headers.
  * Separate out the generation of that whitelist into a separate .mk that
    can be invoked from autogen.sh, or otherwise used to start off the process.
  * Produce a svc-unstable.h as a public header for the unstable API.
  * Remove unstable enums and interface name #defines from main header too.
    Put them in svc-unstable.h.
  * Install unstable headers to ${includedir}/telepathy-unstable.
  * Remove --disable-unstable - the unstable part is easy for packagers to omit
    if desired (/usr/include/telepathy-unstable,
    /usr/lib/libtelepathy-glib-unstable.a,
    /usr/lib/pkgconfig/telepathy-glib-unstable.pc) and having it optional will
    get gtkdoc confused.

Wed Apr 18 13:15:23 BST 2007  Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>

Wed Apr 18 13:11:00 BST 2007  Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>
  * Improve debugging in base-connection-manager by having a debug flag for parameter parsing

Wed Apr 18 13:10:29 BST 2007  Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>

Tue Apr 17 17:56:04 BST 2007  Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk>
