This returns an existing + channel if possible, or creates a new channel otherwise; it also makes + sure that only one caller considers itself to be responsible for + dispatching or handling the new channel. + +* Added new errors Cancelled and NotYours to support the ChannelDispatcher. + * Added a Forwarded flag to Channel.Interface.CallState New experimental API: +* Added the Client and ChannelDispatcher machinery. The ChannelDispatcher + is a central service dependent on the AccountManager (in practice, it will + usually be in the same process) which provides functionality for requesting + channels, and is also responsible for dispatching channels to appropriate + clients. The Client interface is used to discover appropriate clients. + + When finished, this will supersede the ChannelHandler interface for clients, + and Mission Control 4's D-Bus API. + * Added a Destroyable interface so the channel dispatcher has a way to kill off unhandleable channels (e.g. if we don't have a Text UI for some reason) +Miscellaneous: + +* doc/*.txt contain various thoughts about use cases for new functionality, + which provide further rationale for why the ChannelDispatcher is so + complicated :-) + telepathy-spec 0.17.11 (2008-09-12) =================================== @@ -23,7 +47,7 @@ The "release the global implementor lock" release.
