D-Bus Python Bindings 0.80.1 (24 January 2007)

D-Bus Python Bindings 0.80.0 (24 January 2007)

The "everything changes" release
Rewrite dbus_bindings (Pyrex) as _dbus_bindings (C) - API changes!
Define what's public API
Move low-level but still public API to dbus.lowlevel
Remove Variant class, add variant_level property on all D-Bus types
Make signal matching keep working as expected when name ownership changes
Use unambiguous D-Bus types when transferring from D-Bus to Python
Follow well-defined rules when transferring from Python to D-Bus
Add utf8_strings and byte_arrays options in various places, so a user can tweak the calling conventions to be more efficient
Raise RuntimeError if user tries to use a connection with no main loop to do something that won't work without one
Make asynchronous method calls actually asynchronous when made before introspection results come back
Redo main loop machinery so we can add pure-Python main loops later without API breakage
Allow construction of a dbus.service.Object if you don't have a BusName (or even a Bus)
Port introspection XML parser from libxml2 (external package) to expat (included with Python)
Port build system from distutils to autoconf/automake/libtool
Install a header file for third-party main loop integration
Make compatible with Python 2.5, including on 64-bit platforms
Add docstrings throughout
Add more tests and examples
Add interoperability tests (which interoperate with Java)
Add copyright notices!

First release of bindings split
Move to a distutils build enviornment
It is possible to now specify sender_keyword="foo", path_keyword="bar" when adding a signal listener
