dbus-broker - Linux D-Bus Message Broker
CHANGES WITH 17:
* The `g_shell` subsystem of glib was replaced with a new submodule
from the c-util suite, called `c-shquote`. It is a small project that
implements POSIX-Shell compatible quoting. This is required by the
dbus compatibility launcher to parse activation files.
Furthermore, the `g_key_file` subsystem of glib was replaced with a
submodule called `c-ini`, which implements a key-value file-parser.
Both submodules need to be added if you compile from git. With this
change, dbus-broker no longer requires glib.
* The new configuration options introduced in dbus-1.12 are now
recognized by the compatibility launcher and will no longer trigger
warnings.
* The systemd units shipped with dbus-broker now put the broker into
more isolated environments, hopefully reducing the impact of possible
security breaches. This requires semi-recent systemd releases to have
an effect. Older systemd release will ignore these new sandboxing
features.
* In case of forced client disconnects, the broker will now be a lot
more verbose and specific in its log-messages, describing exactly why
a client was disconnected. This hopefully aids debugging of
misbehaving clients.
* Messages with file-descriptors will now be refused if the client did
not negotiate file-descriptor passing before. This aligns the
behavior of the broker with the reference implementation. Before, all
clients were treated as if they support file-desciptor passing. This
is no longer the case.
