telepathy-glib 0.11.14 (UNRELEASED)
===================================

The “One hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day.” release.

Enhancements:

• fd.o #29375: there's now a TpBaseChannel class which deals with all the
  boring boilerplate previously needed to implement channels. Public response
  to the class has been uniform. "The class is perfect", said one passer-by.
  (jonner, wjt)

• fd.o #29614: add TpBaseClient:account-manager (smcv)

• Allow TpBaseClient instances to wait for any desired set of TpAccount,
  TpConnection and TpChannel features (smcv)

• fd.o #29671: add TP_ARRAY_TYPE_UCHAR_ARRAY_LIST, i.e. signature 'aay' in
  dbus-glib (smcv)

Fixes:

• Ensure that when a TpAccountChannelRequest produces a connection and
  a channel, they're obtained from the same TpAccount we started from (smcv)

• fd.o #29756, #29795: various documentation improvements (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.13 (2010-08-17)
===================================

The “Brand New Name” release.

Dependencies:

• When building from git or otherwise running automake, automake 1.11 is
  strongly recommended. If an older version is used, it will not be possible
  to generate Vala bindings, or to make tarball distributions.

Changes to experimental API:

• fd.o #29070: remove telepathy-vala.pc. Vala bindings should ask pkg-config
  for telepathy-glib, and can check that the VAPI file exists by attempting
  to link a trivial Vala program; see libfolks for example code (cassidy)

Enhancements:

• fd.o #29358: add TP_ERROR as an alias for TP_ERRORS, for introspectability
  (pwithnall)

• add TP_USER_ACTION_TIME_NOT_USER_ACTION, TP_USER_ACTION_TIME_CURRENT_TIME,
  tp_user_action_time_from_x11, tp_user_action_time_should_present (smcv)

• improve various documentation (smcv, danni)

• convert TpBaseClient virtual methods into normal GObject virtual methods
  so they can be introspected (smcv)

Fixes:

• Don't rely on vala-1.0.pc to check for vala version and vapigen (treitter)

• fd.o #25019: let the TpPresenceMixin work on connections that implement
  SimplePresence but not complex Presence (Butch Howard)

• Fix a harmless misuse of enums that caused warnings on gcc 4.5 (smcv)

• Fix out-of-tree builds with Vala enabled (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.12 (2010-08-10)
===================================

The “Fire and Forget” release.

Enhancements:

• Added TpAccountChannelRequest, a request to create or ensure a channel (cassidy)
  ‣ fd.o #29456: tp_account_channel_request_create_async (plus an _ensure_
    variant): create a channel which will be handled by an existing Handler,
    probably another application
  ‣ fd.o #13422: tp_account_channel_request_create_and_handle_async (plus an
    _ensure_ variant): create a channel and handle it yourself

• fd.o #29461: updated to telepathy-spec 0.19.11 (smcv)
  ‣ more error codes for SSL/TLS - Insecure, Revoked, LimitExceeded
  ‣ Conference_Host call state flag

Fixes:

• fd.o #29174: update example connection managers to follow current
  telepathy-spec best practices, including Protocol objects (smcv)

• fd.o #29268: fix compilation from a tarball with --enable-vala-bindings (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.11 (2010-07-26)
===================================

The “xev claims I'm typing in Japanese” release.

Enhancements:

↭ Updated spec to 0.19.10 (smcv):
  ↯ generate code for Protocol objects, and the ContactSearch channel type

↭ fd.o #27997: add TpProtocol client-side API, and TpBaseProtocol service-side
  base class, for Protocol objects (smcv)

↭ fd.o #28751: tp_proxy_has_interface is now a real function, not a macro, for
  better introspection (smcv)

↭ TpBaseClient's properties now have accessor methods for convenient use in C
  (smcv)

↭ tp_capabilities_get_channel_classes is now visible to g-i (pwithnall)

Fixes:

↭ Install a .deps file for the Vala bindings (pwithnall)

↭ Vala bindings now install to the normal location, making it unnecessary to
  look up telepathy-vala in pkg-config; that pkg-config file will be removed
  in a future version (treitter)

↭ fd.o #29197: expand g-i coverage of connection manager code enough to
  use it for libfolks' regression tests (pwithnall, smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.10 (2010-07-12)
===================================

  return "void" from an async method (smcv)

Fixes:

❉ Fixed libdbus errors when unregistering a TpBaseClient that isn't a
  Handler (cassidy)

❉ Made some TpGroupMixin methods more const-correct (smcv)

❉ Fixed some memory leaks in regression tests (smcv)

❉ Suppressed more valgrind false-positives (smcv, cassidy)

❉ Improved generation of experimental Vala bindings (treitter)

telepathy-glib 0.11.8 (2010-06-22)

The "moving to Canada for maple syrup and bacon" release.

Requirements:

⁂ If GObject-Introspection is enabled, it must be version 0.6.14 or later.

Enhancements:

⁂ Improve GObject-Introspection annotations, and optionally build Vala
  bindings, which are currently considered highly experimental (treitter)

Fixes:

⁂ Make tp_base_client_set_handler_bypass_approval able to set the value to

  approval (cassidy)

⁂ If the weak object for contact info retrieval disappears, stop, and don't
  call the callback (sjoerd)

⁂ Fix a va_list leak in tp_value_array_build (wjt)

==================================

The “why do my legs not work?” release.

Requirements:

⎎ If GObject-Introspection is enabled, it must be version 0.6.13 or later.

Deprecations:

⎎ TpChannelFactoryIface is officially deprecated (it shouldn't have been used

  TpAccount::status-changed (smcv)

⎎ fd.o #28312: add TpContact::presence-changed signal (sjokkis)

⎎ fd.o #28368: use GStrv instead of gchar ** in structs, so

telepathy-glib 0.11.6 (2010-05-25)
==================================

The "anybody need this sign?" release.

This version includes all the bugfixes from today's 0.10.6 release.

Requirements:

* If gtk-doc is enabled, it must be version 1.15 or later.
* If GObject-Introspection is enabled, it must be version 0.6.11 or later.

Enhancements:

* Updated to telepathy-spec 0.19.6:
  * ChangingPresence property on the Account interface
  * SupportedLocationFeatures property on the Location interface
  * HandleWithTime method on ChannelDispatchOperation
  * MultipleTones method, SendingTones and StoppedTones signals, and
    CurrentlySendingTones and InitialTones properties on the DTMF interface

* TpAccount:changing-presence and tp_account_get_changing_presence, a binding
  for the new ChangingPresence property (smcv)

* fd.o #27872: enhance TpBaseClient to support being a Handler (cassidy)

* fd.o #27873: TpSimpleHandler, a simple TpBaseClient subclass for
  projects that don't need their own subclass, and an example Approver that

* Make the ContactList example connection manager more realistic, and add a
  regression test for it (smcv)

Fixes:

* fd.o #28203: TpGroupMixin: allow "adding" contacts who are already members,
  even if the Can_Add flag isn't set (e.g. accepting a subscription request
  twice), and allow "removing" contacts who are not in the channel
  (e.g. rejecting a subscription request twice) (smcv)

* Correct the syntax of TP_IS_HANDLE_REPO_IFACE (smcv)

* Move _tp_proxy_set_features_failed (which isn't intended to be API, and
  isn't ABI) to an internal header (smcv)

* Fix the namespace version for GObject-Introspection (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.5 (2010-05-10)
==================================

The "also, hi from bl.uk" release.

API changes:

⌬ fd.o #23369: when the local user is removed from a Group Channel, the
  GError with which the TpChannel is invalidated has changed:

  → if possible, the detailed error name from D-Bus is mapped to a TpError,
    or a custom GError domain set up with tp_proxy_subclass_add_error_mapping
  → otherwise, the TpChannelGroupChangeReason is translated into a TpError

  Previously, we used an error from the TP_ERRORS_REMOVED_FROM_GROUP domain
  in most cases; this domain is no longer used, unless we get a change reason
  that isn't recognised.

Enhancements:

⌬ fd.o #25236: TpBaseClient, a base class for Observers and Approvers, which
  will also support Handlers in a future release (cassidy)

⌬ fd.o #27871, #24214: TpSimpleObserver, a simple TpBaseClient subclass for
  projects that don't need their own subclass, and an example Observer that
  uses it (cassidy)

⌬ fd.o #27875: TpSimpleApprover, a simple TpBaseClient subclass for
  projects that don't need their own subclass, and an example Approver that
  uses it (cassidy)

⌬ fd.o #27899: internal macros for ERROR(), CRITICAL() etc., analogous to
  DEBUG() (jonny)

⌬ fd.o #23369: improve the errors with which a Group TpChannel is invalidated
  if we're removed, as per "API changes" above (smcv)

⌬ fd.o #18055: generate GEnum types for TpCMInfoSource, TpContactFeature,
  TpDBusError, and GFlags types for TpDBusNameType and
  TpDBusPropertiesMixinFlags. Note that TpConnectionManager:info-source is
  still of type G_TYPE_UINT, not TP_TYPE_CM_INFO_SOURCE, since switching it
  would be an ABI break. (danni, smcv)

Fixes:

⌬ fd.o #26211: correct the generated constants for contact attributes and
  handler capability tokens, which were present-but-wrong since 0.11.3 (smcv)

⌬ fd.o #24689: document more clearly that the TpConnectionManager.protocols
  struct member can be reallocated (smcv)

⌬ fd.o #28043: explicitly link tests/* against dbus-glib, fixing compilation
  with GNU gold, with GNU ld with LDFLAGS=-Wl,--no-add-needed, and hopefully
  also with Fedora 13's patched GNU ld (see Red Hat #564245) (smcv)

⌬ some fixes to GObject-Introspection metadata (danni)

telepathy-glib 0.11.4 (2010-04-28)
==================================

The “not sure whether to be amused or terrified” release.

This version includes all the bugfixes from today's 0.10.5 release.

Requirements:

∮ gtk-doc 1.14 is now required. Applying commit 0a874b3a from gtk-doc git
  to support the (skip) annotation (as was done in Debian's gtk-doc 1.14-2) is
  also highly recommended; it'll be in upstream release 1.15.

∮ GLib 2.24 is now required.

Enhancements:

∮ telepathy-glib now has experimental GObject-Introspection bindings, for use
  by language bindings like PyGI and gjs. At this stage, these bindings are
  incomplete, and are *not* covered by our normal API guarantees - incompatible
  changes between versions are likely. (danni, smcv)

∮ fd.o #27769: add TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_AVATAR_REQUIREMENTS (Zdra)

∮ fd.o #27794: improve regression test coverage for TpAccount (cassidy, smcv)

∮ fd.o #19164: tighten the definition of TpChannel:identifier to guarantee
  that it's always non-NULL, even before the channel is ready (previously,
  it could be NULL before the channel was ready)

∮ fd.o #23369 (partial): improve error mapping on TpConnection and
  TpBaseConnection, and add tp_connection_get_detailed_error (smcv)

Fixes:

∮ fd.o #27780: when TpAccount:connection changes, emit notify::connection (smcv)

∮ Don't leak TpAccount:parameters when disposed (smcv)

∮ Fix more assertion failures (this time in TpContact) if getting contact
  attributes fails or yields the wrong type (wjt)

∮ Remove some dead code to keep coverity happy (wjt)

telepathy-glib 0.11.3 (2010-04-20)
==================================

The "can we have a hippopotamus?" release.

This version includes both the bugfixes from today's 0.10.4 release.

Enhancements:

↠ Upgrade to telepathy-spec 0.19.5 (smcv)
  → Connection.Status, Connection.Interfaces properties (all telepathy-glib
    CMs that use TpBaseConnection should gain support for these automatically)
  → Observer.Recover property
  → ContactInfo interface

↠ Add TpWeakRef, a wrapper for a weak reference and an optional extra pointer
  (smcv)

↠ fd.o #21097: push the "feature" concept from TpAccount and TpAccountManager
  into the TpProxy base class, and use it to implement feature-preparation
  for core functionality of TpChannel, TpConnection, TpConnectionManager (smcv)

↠ add TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CHAT_STATES (smcv)

↠ fd.o #27511: add TpCapabilities, TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES and
  TP_CONTACT_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES (cassidy)

↠ fd.o #27690, #27709: add boxed types for TpIntSet,
  TpConnectionManagerProtocol and TpConnectionManagerParam (danni, smcv)

↠ fd.o #27741: make it easier to export objects without using tp_get_bus(),
  particularly in connection managers (smcv)

↠ fd.o #26211: generate TP_TOKEN_${INTERFACE}_${TOKEN} constants for contact
  attributes and handler capability tokens (KA)

Fixes:

↠ Use the fast-path for Location correctly (cassidy)

↠ fd.o #27714: support G_CONNECT_AFTER in tp_g_signal_connect_object, and
  document exactly which flags we support (Maiku, smcv)

↠ fd.o #27537: fix assertion failure if getting contact attributes
  fails (cassidy)

↠ fd.o #27695: only try the slow path in Contacts if the fast path isn't
  supported (cassidy)

telepathy-glib 0.11.2 (2010-04-06)
==================================

The "not actually deprecated" release.

This version includes all the bugfixes from today's 0.8.3 and 0.10.3 releases
(they were all included in the previous version, in fact).

Un-deprecations:

☀ tp_get_bus is not considered to be deprecated yet after all; many connection
  managers use it, and the current alternative is considerably more verbose.
  This reopens fd.o #24114. (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.1 (2010-04-05)
==================================

The “26-bit address bus” release.

Enhancements:

◈ Add tp_str_empty() macro, a shortcut for ‘NULL or ""’ (smcv)

◈ Add TP_TYPE_UCHAR_ARRAY, a dbus-glib GArray of guchar (i.e. the default
  representation for the D-Bus 'ay' type) (cassidy)

◈ Add tp_account_set_avatar_async() (cassidy)

◈ Add TP_CONTACT_FEATURE_LOCATION (cassidy)

Fixes:

◈ Only fail “make check” on documentation warnings in unreleased versions, to
  avoid build failures in releases when gtk-doc in a distribution doesn't have
  the same definition of full coverage that we do (smcv)

◈ Fix compatibility with gtk-doc 1.14 (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.11.0 (2010-03-31)
==================================

The ‘bah, you removed my “beautiful” quotes’ release.

Dependencies:

‣ GLib, GObject and GIO ≥ 2.22 are now required

Deprecations:

‣ fd.o #22206: all the re-entrant functions (of the form tp_FOO_run_until_ready
  and tp_cli_FOO_run_BAR) are deprecated in this version, please use
  asynchronous calls instead (smcv)

‣ fd.o #24114: tp_get_bus() is deprecated, please use tp_dbus_daemon_dup()
  followed by tp_proxy_get_dbus_connection() (smcv)

Enhancements:

‣ Update to telepathy-spec 0.19.3 (smcv)
  ❧ generate code for new Connection.Interfaces, Connection.Status properties,
    and implement them in TpBaseConnection
  ❧ generate code for Connection.Interface.Balance

‣ Add an example connection manager for the experimental Call API that will
  eventually replace StreamedMedia (smcv)

‣ Add tp_g_socket_address_from_variant,
  tp_address_variant_from_g_socket_address (danni)

‣ Add tp_g_value_slice_new_byte (smcv)

‣ Add tp_value_array_unpack, the inverse of tp_value_array_build (danni)

‣ Make various minor improvements to the tests (smcv)

Fixes:

‣ tp_account_set_nickname_async: set the right source_tag (cassidy)

‣ fd.o #27281: clarify documentation for tp_message_mixin_sent, using
  telepathy-spec 0.19.2 as a reference (Maiku)

‣ Avoid using re-entrant functions, other than in regression tests (smcv)

‣ fd.o #21956: clean up documentation/defaults of TpContact properties (smcv)

‣ telepathy.am: if copied into a project where nothing is checked for
  unreleased version annotations, don't hang waiting for input (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.10.2 (2010-03-31)
==================================

The "is that a koala in your roster or are you just nearby?" release.

Fixes:

* TpAccount: correctly add interfaces such as Avatars (danni)

* Make GetContactAttributes() in GLib CMs tolerate unsupported interfaces,
  as per telepathy-spec 0.19.2 (wjt)

* Improve documentation of TpContactsMixinFillContactAttributesFunc (mikhailz)

telepathy-glib 0.10.1 (2010-03-24)
==================================

The "usually quite loud" release.

This version includes all the bugfixes from 0.8.2, plus some documentation
improvements in code added since 0.8.

Fixes:

* Don't make an idle call to put received messages in the TpMessageMixin
  queue, potentially avoiding a reference leak (Vivek)

* tp_contacts_mixin_set_contact_attribute now takes a const gchar *
  instead of a gchar * (mikhailz)

* Escape the doc-comments better in generated service interfaces (smcv)

* Fix some typos and broken cross-references in the documentation, and
  improve the TpAccount documentation (smcv)

* Chain up to GObject's dispose method when destroying a
  TpBaseConnectionManager (smcv)

* Remove a misleading debug message from tp_list_connection_names (wjt)

telepathy-glib 0.10.0 (2010-01-21)
==================================

The "where did you get your bear?" release.

This release begins a bugfix-only 0.10.x branch, in which new API/ABI will no
longer be added; 0.11.x development releases will continue to be made from
the master branch. The 0.10.x branch targets the D-Bus API from
telepathy-spec 0.18.0.

The major enhancement since 0.8.x is that TpAccountManager and TpAccount,
previously simple stub classes, now have high-level API to manipulate
accounts. GLib 2.20 and dbus-glib 0.82 are now required, and telepathy-glib
now links against GIO.

Enhancements since 0.9.2:

* Add compile-time warnings if the results of functions that allocate memory
  are ignored; for a couple of these functions it's not obvious that a
  result is allocated, leading to non-obvious leaks (smcv)

* Add compile-time warnings if the results of certain functions with no
  side-effects are ignored, which is harmless but makes no sense (smcv)

* Improve lcov.am, syncing with telepathy-gabble (smcv)

Fixes since 0.9.2:

* fd.o #23848: when making a release, make the build system check for files
  that indicate unreleased status; correct a few such comments (wjt)

* fd.o #25149: when a TpAccount is invalidated (deleted), signal connection
  disconnection first (smcv)

* Exit the main loop gracefully when CMs are disconnected from the session bus
  (sjoerd)

* fd.o #14603: don't set fatal criticals in tp_run_connection_manager, CMs
  are now responsible for doing this (sjoerd)

* fd.o #25600: fix inadvertant GLib 2.20 dependency (jonny)

* In code generation tools (glib-ginterface-gen.py), allow D-Bus methods whose
  names are C keywords (smcv)

* Fix with-session-bus.sh dbus-monitor logging when /bin/sh is not bash (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.9.2 (2009-12-03)
=================================

The "old-fashioned, with no silly mods" release.

Dependencies:

* dbus-glib (>= 0.82) is now required

Enhancements:

* Add tp_value_array_build utility function (sjoerd)

* Add tp_g_signal_connect_object, a non-leaky version of
  g_signal_connect_object (alsuren)

* fd.o #25283: add constants for namespaced D-Bus property names,
  such as TP_PROP_CHANNEL_CHANNEL_TYPE (smcv)

* fd.o #25235: add <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib.h> which includes
  the most commonly-used headers (danni)

Fixes:

* fd.o #24257: make sure tp_account_prepare, tp_account_manager_prepare
  will fail if the object is invalidated, rather than never finishing
  (alsuren)

* fd.o #25051: fix a use-after-free in TpAccountManager by disconnecting
  signal handlers on destruction (alsuren)

* fd.o #24654: fix a potential use-after-free in TpAccount and TpAccountManager
  by copying the list of features required (alsuren)

* Future-proof TpAccount and TpAccountManager to allow more than one Feature
  (alsuren)

* fd.o #24394: improve code portability to Windows headers and compilers,
  based on patches from Matti Reijonen (smcv)

* fd.o #25121: fix failure to link when -Wl,--no-add-needed is used, which is
  the (faster) default behaviour for binutils-gold (Debian #556486) (smcv)

* Fix various coverity nits, including a missing call to va_end,
  and a typo in the documentation (smcv)

* fd.o #25359: alter code generation to cope with arbitrary UTF-8 in the
  spec (wjt)

* fd.o #25335: glib-client-gen: annotate deprecated D-Bus methods (jonny)

* Don't rely on enum types being unsigned (sjoerd)

* fd.o #25181: avoid unnecessary D-Bus calls re-fetching existing TpContact
  objects (alsuren)

* fd.o #25384: if accounts fail to prepare while the account manager is
  preparing, drop them from the list of valid accounts rather than
  never terminating (alsuren)

* If the fake AccountManager doesn't appear for some reason during AM
  regression tests, don't start the system implementation (alsuren)

* Fix a theoretical reference-leak in TpAccountManager, and some memory
  leaks in examples and regression tests (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.9.1 (2009-10-15)
=================================

The "to quote Rob: sdflkaytliahdskljfhgaqgh;shf" release.

Fixes:

* Corrected the GLib dependency to 2.20 (this was also needed for 0.9.0,
  but that fact was undocumented) (smcv)

* Corrected the error message given when a write-only D-Bus property
  is read (Pekka Pessi)

* Work around GLib 2.20 being less const-correct than 2.22 (jonny)

* fd.o #23853: if a connection manager is discovered not to be running while
  TpConnectionManager has a ListProtocols call in-flight, then a new instance
  of the CM starts up and replies to that call, don't crash with an assertion
  failure (smcv)

* If a connection manager returns error from GetParameters(), don't dereference
  a NULL pointer and segfault (smcv)

* When asked to activate or introspect a connection manager, don't do anything
  until we have at least worked out whether it was initially running, in order
  to provide the documented behaviour (smcv)

* When getting parameter details from a running connection manager, consider
  parameters called "password" or ending with "-password" to be secret even
  if they lack the SECRET flag, as was already done when reading .manager
  files (smcv)

telepathy-glib 0.9.0 (2009-09-28)
=================================

The "purging all the lies" release.

Dependencies:

* GLib 2.20 is now required.
* telepathy-glib now links to GIO as well as GLib and GObject (in practice
  they're packaged together, and we already depended on a new enough GLib
  version that it would come with GIO).

Enhancements:

* TpAccountManager, TpAccount: add convenience API similar to libempathy's
  (jonny, with contributions from wjt/danni/sjoerd/smcv)

* telepathy-glib now uses Automake 1.11's "silent rules" feature for
  kernel-style output; as a result, we no longer use shave. If you were
  previously using --enable-shave to get prettier output, use
  --enable-silent-rules instead, and upgrade to Automake >= 1.11 if you will
  be altering the build system. (jonny)

telepathy-glib 0.8.0 (2009-09-24)
=================================

The "line in the sand" release.

This release begins a bugfix-only 0.8.x branch, in which new API/ABI will no
longer be added; 0.9.x development releases will continue to be made from
the master branch.

Summary of API changes since 0.6.x:

* Since 0.7.35, it is no longer guaranteed that the self-handle in
  TpBaseConnection is set to 0 when the state changes to DISCONNECTED;
  instead, it remains valid until the connection is disposed. This will cause
  assertion failures during disconnection in telepathy-sofiasip < 0.5.17 and
  telepathy-gabble < 0.7.9.

Summary of major enhancements since 0.6.x:

* updated telepathy-spec from 0.16.x to 0.18.0, with many new interfaces, the
  AccountManager, the ChannelDispatcher, and Clients
* added TpProxy, a base class representing remote D-Bus objects
  (see <http://smcv.pseudorandom.co.uk/2009/05/tp-proxy/>)
* added subclasses of TpProxy for all the major Telepathy objects (apart from
  Debug, which will be added later)
* added TpContact, an object representing a Telepathy contact
* added macros for interface-name GQuarks, and for Telepathy dbus-glib GTypes
* added the tp_asv_get_foo() family of functions to manipulate a{sv} maps
* used versioned symbols to document the ABI
* implemented various simple example connection managers and clients

Changes since 0.7.37:

* spec: update from 0.17.28 to 0.18.0 (no real changes) (smcv)
* ContactList example CM: fix a crash during shutdown (andrunko)
* StreamedMedia example CM: check for direction changes correctly (andrunko)
