API:
- Add DBus::Object.dbus_reader_attr_accessor to declare a common use case with a single call (#140).
- BusConnection#request_name defaults to the simple use case: single owner without queuing, failing fast; documented the complex use cases.
License:
- clarified to be LGPL-2.1-or-later
API:
- DBus::Object#object_server replaces @service (which still works) and the short-lived @connection
- ObjectServer#export will raise if the path is already taken by an object
- ObjectServer#unexport now also accepts an object path
- Connection#object_server can export objects even without requesting any service name (#49, in beta1 already).
- Add PeerConnection for connections without a bus, useful for PulseAudio. Fix listening for signals there (#44).
- Moved from Connection to BusConnection: #unique_name, #proxy, #service. Call send_hello in BusConnection#initialize already.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a refactoring crasher bug in ProxyService#introspect (oops).
- Fix crash on #unexport of /child_of_root or even /
Bug fixes:
- A service can now have more than one name (#69). Connection#request_service is deprecated in favor of Connection#object_server and BusConnection#request_name
API:
- Remove Service, splitting it into ProxyService and ObjectServer
- Split off BusConnection from Connection
- DBus::Object @service replaced by @connection
Bug fixes:
- Fix OBS building by disabling IPv6 tests, #134.
Features:
- Enable using nokogiri without rexml (by Dominik Andreas Schorpp, #132)
Bug fixes:
- Respect DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable.
Other:
- For NameRequestError, mention who is the other owner.
- Session bus autolaunch still does not work, but: don't try launchd except on macOS, and improve the error message.
- examples/gdbus split off to its own repository, https://github.com/mvidner/dbus-gui-gtk
Features:
- Respect env RUBY_DBUS_ENDIANNESS=B (or =l) for outgoing messages.
Bug fixes:
- Reduce socket buffer allocations (#129).
- Message#marshall speedup: don't marshall the body twice.
Features:
- For EXTERNAL authentication, try also without the user id, to work with containers (#126).
- Thread safety, as long as the non-main threads only send signals.
API:
- Added a ObjectManager mix-in to implement the service-side ObjectManager interface.
Bug fixes:
- dbus_attr_accessor and friends validate the signature (#120).
- Declare the Introspectable interface in exported objects(#99).
- Do reply with an error when calling a nonexisting object with an existing path prefix(#121).
No changes since 0.18.0.beta8. Repeating the most important changes since 0.17.0:
API:
- Introduced DBus::Data classes, use them in Properties.Get, Properties.GetAll to return correct types as declared (#97).
- Introduced Object#dbus_properties_changed to send correctly typed property values (#115). Avoid calling PropertiesChanged directly as it will guess the types.
- Service side
emits_changed_signalto control emission of PropertiesChanged: can be assigned withindbus_interfaceor as an option when declaring properties (#117). - DBus.variant(type, value) is deprecated in favor of Data::Variant.new(value, member_type:)
- Added type factories
- Type::Array[type]
- Type::Hash[key_type, value_type]
- Type::Struct[type1, type2...]
Bug fixes:
- Fix Object.dbus_reader to work with attr_accessor and automatically produce dbus_properties_changed for properties that are read-write at implementation side and read-only at D-Bus side (#96)
- Service-side properties: Fix Properties.Get, Properties.GetAll to use the specific property signature, not the generic Variant (#97, #105, #109).
- Client-side properties: When calling Properties.Set in ProxyObjectInterface#[]=, use the correct type (#108).
- Added thorough tests (
spec/data/marshall.yaml) to detect nearly all invalid data at unmarshalling time.
Requirements:
- Require Ruby 2.4, because of RuboCop 1.0.

API:
- DBus.variant(type, value) is deprecated in favor of Data::Variant.new(value, member_type:)
Bug fixes:
- Client-side properties: When calling Properties.Set in ProxyObjectInterface#[]=, use the correct type (#108).
API:
- Data::Base#value returns plain Ruby types; Data::Container#exact_value contains Data::Base (#114).
- Data::Base#initialize and .from_typed allow plain or exact values, validate argument types.
- Implement #== (converting) and #eql? (strict) for Data::Base and DBus::Type.
API:
- DBus::Type instances are frozen.
- Data::Container classes (Array, Struct, DictEntry, but not Variant) constructors (#initialize, .from_items, .from_typed) changed to have a type argument instead of member_type or member_types.
- Added type factories
- Type::Array[type]
- Type::Hash[key_type, value_type]
- Type::Struct[type1, type2...]
Bug fixes:
- Properties containing Variants would return them doubly wrapped (#111).
Bug fixes:
- Service-side properties: Fix Properties.Get, Properties.GetAll for properties that contain arrays, on other than outermost level (#109).
- Sending variants: fixed make_variant to correctly guess the signature for UInt64 and number-keyed hashes/dictionaries.
Bug fixes:
- Service-side properties: Fix Properties.Get, Properties.GetAll for Array, Dict, and Variant types (#105).
API:
- Renamed the DBus::Type::Type class to DBus::Type (which was previously a module).
- Introduced DBus::Data classes, use them in Properties.Get, Properties.GetAll to return correct types as declared (still #97).
Bug fixes:
- Signature validation: Ensure DBus.type produces a valid Type
- Detect more malformed messages: non-NUL padding bytes, variants with multiple or no value.
- Added thorough tests (
spec/data/marshall.yaml) to detect nearly all invalid data at unmarshalling time.
API:
- D-Bus structs have been passed as Ruby arrays. Now these arrays are frozen.
- Ruby structs can be used as D-Bus structs.
Bug fixes:
- Returning the value for o.fd.DBus.Properties.Get, use the specific property signature, not the generic Variant (#97).
Requirements:
- Require Ruby 2.4, because of RuboCop 1.0.
API:
- Export properties with
dbus_attr_accessor,dbus_readeretc. (#86).
Bug fixes:
- Depend on rexml which is separate since Ruby 3.0 (#87, by Toshiaki Asai). Nokogiri is faster but bigger so it remains optional.
- Fix connection in case ~/.dbus-keyrings has multiple cookies, showing as "Oops: undefined method `zero?' for nil:NilClass".
- Add the missing name to the root introspection node.
API:
- An invalid service name or an invalid object path will raise instead of being sent to the bus. The bus would then drop the connection, producing EOFError here (#80).
API:
- Accessing an unknown interface will raise instead of returning nil (#74).
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a conflict with activesupport 5.2 (#71)
Bug fixes:
- Allow registering signal handlers while a signal is being handled (#70, Jan Biniok).
Bug fixes:
- Sending 16-bit signed integers ("n") did not work at all (#68).
Requirements:
- Stopped supporting ruby 2.0.0, because of Nokogiri.
Bug fixes:
- It is no longer required to explicitly call ProxyObject#introspect, it will be done automatically once (#28).
Requirements:
- Introduced RuboCop to keep a consistent coding style.
- Replaced Gemfile.ci with a regular Gemfile.
API:
- Added proxy objects whose methods return single values instead of arrays (use Service#[] instead of Service#object; #30).
Requirements:
- Require ruby 2.0.0, stopped supporting 1.9.3.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed reading a quoted session bus address, as written by dbus-1.10.10 (#62, Yasuhiro Asaka)
Bug fixes:
- Fix default path finding on FreeBSD (Greg)
- Service#unexport fixed to really return the unexported object
Requirements:
- made tests compatible with RSpec 3
API:
- Connection: split off MessageQueue, marked other methods as private.
Requirements:
- converted tests to RSpec, rather mechanically for now
Bug fixes:
- fixed "Interfaces added with singleton_class.instance_eval aren't exported" (#22, by miaoufkirsh)
Requirements:
- Require ruby 1.9.3, stopped supporting 1.8.7.
Bug fixes:
- re-added COPYING, NEWS, README.md to the gem (#47, by Cédric Boutillier)
Packaging:
- use packaging_rake_tasks
Features:
- Ruby strings can be passed where byte arrays ("ay") are expected (#40, by Jesper B. Rosenkilde)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed accessing ModemManager properties (#41, reported by Ernest Bursa). MM introspection produces two elements for a single interface; merge them.
Bug fixes:

Features:
- When calling methods, the interface can be left unspecified if unambiguous (Damiano Stoffie)

Bug fixes:
- Introspection attribute "direction" can be omitted as allowed by the specification (Noah Meyerhans).
- ProxyObjectInterface#on_signal no longer needs the "bus" parameter (#31, by Damiano Stoffie)
Features:

- Recognize signature "h" (UNIX_FD) used eg. by Upstart (#23, by Bernd Ahlers).
- Find the session bus also via launchd, on OS X (#20, reported by Paul Sturgess).
Other:
- Now doing continuous integration with Travis: http://travis-ci.org/#!/mvidner/ruby-dbus
A brown-paper-bag release.

- Fixed a typo in InvalidDestinationName description (T#40).
Features:
- TCP transport (by pangdudu)
- Enabled test code coverage report (rcov)
Bug fixes:
Bug fixes:
- Many on_signal could cause DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded bsc#617350). Don't add a match rule that already exists, enable removing match rules. Now only one handler for a rule is called (but it is possible for one signal to match more rules). This reverts the half-fix done to fix #3
- Re-added InterfaceElement#add_param for compatibility.
- Handle more ways which tell us that a bus connection has died.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed "undefined method `get_node' for nil:NilClass" on Ubuntu Karmic (T#34).
- Get the session bus address even if unset in ENV (#4).
- Improved exceptions a bit: UndefinedInterface, InvalidMethodName, NoMethodError, no RuntimeException
These are by Klaus Kaempf:
- Make the signal dispatcher call all handlers (#3).
- Run on Ruby < 1.8.7 (#2).
