Improved version of Java-DBus library provided by freedesktop.org with compatibility to Java 8.
Please note this version is not compatible with 2.7.x versions as classes have been moved in other packages or were completly removed. Most import issues should be easily fixable by using 'Organize Imports'. Using this version as replacement for 2.7.x however, will not work without changing your code as well.
- Fixed issue with introspection caused by changes in #80 (#103), thanks to AsamK
- Added support for FreeBSD, (#105) thanks to grembo
- Fixed SASL authentication may get stuck when using TCP (#106) thanks to brett-smith
- Fixed leaking signal handlers when using addSigHandler/removeSigHandler a lot (#76)
- Fixed unexported objects shown in introspection output (#80)
- Added support for providing alternative implementations of IMessageReader/IMessageWriter (#81)
- Removed support for file descriptor passing, as it is not working with jnr-unixsocket (#81)
- Fixed issue dealing with handled signals (#97)
- Fixes issue with InterfaceCodeGenerator util (#95)
- Fixes issue with InterfaceCodeGenerator util using incorrect type (#83)
- Replaced libmatthew with jnr-unixsocket
- Removed all native library files and sources
- Added new transport system to use jnr-unixsocket (replaces old Transport class)
- Added support for empty collections/arrays (thanks to chris-melman)
- Added support of DBUS_MACHINE_ID_LOCATION environment property to allow usage of dbus-java on Windows (thanks to chris-melman)
- Allow change of the default socket timeout (thanks to chris-melman)
- Detect system endianness for DBus message instead of using BIG endian all the time (#54)
- Allow changing the default endianness (DBusConnection.setEndianness())
- Providing OSGi ready artifact (#33) (thanks to stack-head)
- Added support for handling various DBus signals without the need to create a specific interface class (thanks to rm5248)
- Fixed issue with List containing another List (thanks to rm5248)
- Changed project to multi-module. All tools (except DBusDaemon/DBusEmbeddedDaemon) are now part of the sub-module dbus-java-utils. The dbus-java-utils sub-module is not required for dbus-java to work, it only contains standalone helper classes (like DBus interface class creation tool)
- Logback dependency for dbus-java is now test, so exclusions for logback are no longer required when using a different logger implementation
- Logback dependency for dbus-java-utils is runtime, as most of the helper classes need logging to show progress or issues. If you don't want to use logback when using dbus-java-utils, please specify an exclusion rule and add another slf4j logger in your pom
- Added support sending/receiving FileDescriptor (UNIX_FD, DBus type 'h') (see #42)
- New tool (org.freedesktop.dbus.utils.generator.InterfaceCodeGenerator) to create apropriate java classes/interfaces from introspection XML (beta, will replace org.freedesktop.dbus.bin.CreateInterface)
- Some smaller fixes for old interface creation tool (org.freedesktop.dbus.bin.CreateInterface) (see #34,#35,#36, thanks to sshort)
- Added support for reading dbus machine-id from /etc (thanks to michivi)
- Fixed some issues with different Locale settings (thanks to littlefreaky)
- Fixed marshalling issue (#21/#26, (thanks to littlefreaky))
- Requires Java 8
- Refactored AbstractConnection and all classes depending on it
- Use ThreadPoolExecutor instead of HashMap of Threads
- Use ConcurrentHashMap and friends where possible
- Removed lots of synchronized blocks (when not required)
- Better encapsulation in AbstractConnection
- Use BlockingQueue instead of home grown solution
- Removed EfficientMap and EfficientList, as they are not really efficient or better than the JDK provided Maps/Lists
- Merged UnixSocket stuff of libmatthew to this library, native library libunix-java.so is still compatible with older libmatthew; Main reason is, that the unix socket library of libmatthew is very DBUS specific (like providing special features for SASL/DBUS_COOKIE_SHA)
- Fixed lots of Java warnings (Generics, unclosed resources)
- Removed broken 'Gettext' feature used for exception messages, english exception messages should be good enough
- Renamed some classes/methods/variables to comply with Java naming scheme
- Removed proprietary logger and replaced it with slf4j
- Renamed/refactored some parts to be more 'Java' like (e.g. naming, shadowing)
- Fixed problems with DbusConnection.getConnection(SESSION) when using display export (e.g. SSH X11 forward)
- Thanks to thjomnx for support of PropertiesChanged signal class
- Thanks to RafalSumislawski for support of org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager
- Thanks to lbeuster for improvements and Mac support
- Thanks to littlefreaky for various bug fixes and charset issue fixes
- Thanks to michivi for adding support of dbus-machine-id file on different locations
- Thanks to sshort for fixing some issues in old CreateInterface tool
- Thanks to rm5248 for fixing issues with Lists containing Lists and adding support of handling various signals on DBus
