Further releases +in the 0.5 development series will however be compatible with this release, as +will any releases in a 0.6 stable series. + +For enhanced compatibility versions from 0.5 and earlier series can be parallel +installed, with 0.5 bumping the .so major version to .so.1. However, the +development headers and pkgconfig file can't be parallel installed. + +Enhancements: + * fd.o #28793 - It is no longer necessary to keep the proxy / other object you + get a PendingOperation from manually referenced until the operation is + finished + * fd.o #28797 - generated client code (AbstractInterface subclasses) now allows + setting a non-default timeout for D-Bus method calls + * fd.o #29486 - Bare variant maps and string lists are no longer exposed in the + API unless absolutely necessary; instead they have wrapper classes with + easy access to well-known keys and values. Among other consequences, this + means AbstractClient implementations NEED TO CHANGE their method + implementation signatures to accept the wrapper classes instead of bare + QVariantMaps. + * Setting automatic/requested presence in Account now uses Tp::Presence + * Cleaned up the API and internal code by removing all deprecated classes, + methods and signals. + * Added Tp::Object intermediate base class for uniform QObject property change + notification. Connection, Channel and Contact will be propertified using it + in the future. + * Enumeration and flag types generated from the specification can now be used + in API without endangering ABI stability due to added padding members, + enhancing type safety in numerous instances where bare uints used to be + returned / taken as a parameter. + * Moved low-level functionality which shouldn't be used when using a full + Telepathy setup with a Mission Control service (Account Manager + Channel + Dispatcher) available from Connection and ConnectionManager to Lowlevel + classes, which can be accessed only if TP_QT4_ENABLE_LOWLEVEL_API is #defined + through a lowlevel() accessor on them + * Bare pointers are no longer returned from the API, instead either SharedPtr + or Qt implicitly shared handle classes are used (applicable to + Connection/ContactCapabilities, ProtocolInfo, etc) + * Tp::Contact is now a RefCounted and uses Tp::Feature like the rest of the + library. + * ClientRegistrar no longer guarantees that a singleton instance is returned + for create(). In particular, this relaxation allows us to implement an API in + the future which constructs a ClientRegistrar behind the scenes to be able to + request and handle channels without manually implementing an + AbstractClientHandler. + * The Filter API is now more future-proof, with the assumption that the filter + chain is ANDed together dropped. It will be possible to combine filters using + And/Or/Not filter combiners in the future, of which And is included now. + * The SharedPtr API has been improved. In particular, it's now safe to use it + as a QMap/QHash key and more difficult to use it incorrectly as a boolean or + an integer. The redundant WeakPtr class has been removed - use QWeakPointer + instead (which works with SharedPtr for all QObject classes). + * Tp::Contact friend list state change signals now have a details argument + (which will contain e.g. the request message for publishState() == Ask when + somebody adds you to their contact list, for example). This means that + code connecting to them NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. + * Account::haveConnection(Changed) and friends is now the less confusing + Account::connection(Changed) pair + * AccountManager filtering methods returning an AccountSet now have more + descriptive names without the Set suffix + * Account/Connection/Channel subclasses now can override the "core" feature + implied by isReady() and becomeReady(). In particular, this means that e.g. + ContactSearchChannel::isReady() with no arguments will only return true if + ContactSearchChannel::FeatureCore is ready in addition to + Channel::FeatureCore. + * StreamedMediaChannel is once again just for Channel.Type.StreamedMedia + channels, with the intermediate Call.DRAFT support and API removed. When Call + is undrafted, a new CallChannel will be added and StreamedMediaChannel + deprecated. + * Similarly, hacky Conference.DRAFT support IS REMOVED. Only the final + Conference interface is supported from now on. + * Everything that used to be called just Audio/Video/MediaCall etc now has + StreamedMedia in the name, to not conflict with future Call API. + +Fixes: + * fd.o #27204 - Codegen erroneously uses enums' value-prefix as the name for + the C++ enum + * fd.o #29998 - Connecting to signal Tp::TextChannel::chatStateChanged needs + typedef if not done in Tp namespace + * fd.o #27795 - Problems using Tp::SharedPtr as a key in QMap + * ChannelRequest not becoming ready successfully when there is no Account + specified + * ContactSearchChannel not initializing its private members correctly + * Compile errors with QT_STRICT_ITERATORS + * Some MSVC++ compilation issues (though there still are likely some remaining) + * ContactManager::allKnownContacts not picking up changes from the "stored" + list + +telepathy-qt4 0.3.14 (2010-11-05) +================================= + +The "O HAI MY NAME IS CONFERENCE" release. + +Enhancements: +* fd.o #30098 - Added an asynchronous property request API for generated + low-level proxies +* Added high-level class for SimplePresence and changed Contact to use it, + deprecating the old methods using SimplePresence directly. +* Added signals deprecation support to Contact. +* Deprecated StreamedMediaChannel methods that only make sense when used with + Call.DRAFT channels (we're going to drop support for that particular draft in + 0.5.0) +* Deprecated all optional interface convenience methods. + The methods inherited from OptionalInterfaceFactory should be used directly + instead if access to low-level proxies is needed. +* Add unnamed (anonymous, TargetHandleType == None) variants for text chats and + calls to ChannelClassSpec +* Register all non-QObject public classes with the Qt meta-object system, so + they can e.g. be stored in QVariants. + +Fixes: +* Unnamed text and StreamedMedia calls not included in the ChannelFactory + (channel class) -> (subclass, features) mapping +* Some RequestableChannelClassSpec and ConnectionCapabilities methods having a + notion of "text chat with a person WHO is a conference", which doesn't exist + +telepathy-qt4 0.3.13 (2010-11-01) +================================= + +The "sickness won't slow us down" release. + +Enhancements: +* Added TP_QT4_ prefixed versions of all generated string constants marked as + QLatin1String for less verbose usage with Q_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII +* Added signals deprecation mechanism to warn when a deprecated signal is used. +* fd.o #29451 - Make it possible to specify subclasses to use and features to + make ready on them in ChannelFactory +* fd.o #29484 - RequestableChannelClass should have high-level API +* fd.o #29486 - Add a ChannelClassSpec class for easily specifying Client + channel filters (and building Channel requests and ChannelFactory filters for + advanced usage) +* Added more deprecated methods and remove some methods that should not be + deprecated.
