dbus-cxx is a C++ wrapper for the dbus library http://dbus-cxx.sourceforge.net

===== 0.7.0 =====

This release primarily features code cleanup, but in doing so there were several minor feature additions, added documentation, bug fixes and minor API changes.

== New Documentation and Tutorial ==

A quickstart guide has been added to the documentation. This will take you through a simple client/server example.

The quickstart tutorial can be found in the documentation or on the dbus-cxx website here: http://dbus-cxx.sourceforge.net/quick_start.html

Also, documentation has been added for many of the m4 generated templates.

== Cleanup == A significant portion of the cleanup related to the headers. As the library grew and evolved the headers became messy, from old includes that are no longer needed to templates that had very touchy include orders. These have been significantly cleaned up and several key template headers have been split into two parts with the first part declarations and the second part definitions and specializations.

The utility.h header had also grown to include many things beyond simple utility functions. The dbus typing functions have been split out into types.h and the introspect() function has been properly incorporated into the DBus::Connection class.

The functions related to signatures in utility.h have been moved into the header signature.h along where DBus::Signature is.

== New API == * In cleaning up the macros that generate the sigc++ slot based DBus::Method templates support for void methods has been added.

• A force parameter was added to DBus::Object::add_child() to allow a child with a similar name to be forced into the hierarchy replacing the old child

== Key API Changes == * DBus::Dispatcher's constructor is now protected; use DBus::Dispatcher::create() to allocate a smart pointer

• When a named object interface doesn't handle an incoming message, the default interface is tried before failing.
