Announce: telepathy-glib 0.19.0
The “Aggressive deprecation” release.
This is the first release in the 0.19.x development series.
tarball:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib-0.19.0.tar.gz
signature:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib-0.19.0.tar.gz.asc
git: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/telepathy/telepathy-glib
Dependencies:
• GLib ≥ 2.32, as released with GNOME 3.4, is now required.
Deprecations:
• Deprecations are now versioned. telepathy-glib users can define
TP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and/or TP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED, which work like
the
corresponding macros in GLib 2.32. (Simon)
• All TpChannel APIs using contact TpHandle have been deprecated in
favor of
their TpContact variants. Note that replacement APIs are only
guaranteed to
work with Connection Managers implementing spec >= 0.23.4. Any CMs
using
telepathy-glib's TpGroupMixin for implementing the channel's group
iface
are fine. (Xavier)
• TpTextMixin is (officially) deprecated, use TpMessageMixin. (Xavier)
• TpIntsetIter is deprecated, use TpIntsetFastIter. The typedefs
TpIntSetIter and TpIntSetFastIter are also deprecated. (Simon)
• TP_ERRORS has officially been deprecated since 0.11; it now produces
deprecation warnings too. (Simon)
• Reimplementation of the RequestHandles method is deprecated. (Simon)
• tp_connection_get_contacts_by_id is deprecated and replaced by
tp_connection_dup_contact_by_id_async, for proper GAsyncResult API,
and is
now for single identifier to simplify most common use case.
(fd.o #27687 and #30874, Xavier)
• tp_connection_get_contacts_by_handle() is deprecated with no
replacement. It
is deprecated to create a TpContact without knowing both its id and
handle.
(fd.o #27687 and #30874, Xavier)
• tp_connection_upgrade_contacts is deprecated and replaced by
tp_connection_upgrade_contacts_async, for proper GAsyncResult API.
Note that
the connection must implement the Contacts interface to use this new
API.
(fd.o #27687 and #30874, Xavier)
• TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CHAT_STATES and its corresponding APIs are
deprecated and
replaced by similar API on TpTextChannel.
Enhancements:
• <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib.h> now includes all non-generated code
except proxy-subclass.h. Please use it instead of individual headers -
direct inclusion of most individual headers will become an error in
future versions, as was done for GLib. (Simon)
• A new meta-header, <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib-dbus.h>, now
includes
all generated code. Please include it in any file that uses tp_svc_*,
tp_cli_*, TP_IFACE_*, TP_HASH_TYPE_*, TP_STRUCT_TYPE_* or
TP_ARRAY_TYPE_*.
In telepathy-glib 1.0, it will become a separate pkg-config module.
(Simon)
• Replace --disable-coding-style-checks and --disable-doc-checks with
--disable-fatal-warnings. In addition to what the removed options did,
it changes the default for --disable-Werror and turns off
g-ir-scanner warnings. In future releases, it might control additional
"warnings are treated as errors" options. Developers can also use
--enable-fatal-warnings to force all of these on, even in official
releases. (Simon)
• Add TpRoomList and TpRoomInfo (fd.o #30338, Guillaume)
• Add TpDebugClient (fd.o #23344; Will, Guillaume)
• Add tp_account_channel_request_new_text(),
tp_account_channel_request_new_audio_call(),
tp_account_channel_request_set_target_contact() etc., which do not
require
the caller to know D-Bus property names (fd.o #48780, Simon)
• Add tp_connection_dup_detailed_error_vardict(),
tp_base_connection_disconnect_with_dbus_error_vardict(),
tp_connection_manager_param_dup_default_variant(),
tp_capabilities_dup_channel_classes_variant() which use/return
GVariants
instead of dbus-glib parameterized types (Simon, Guillaume)
• Add a simple PyGtk3 dialler to the examples, and optionally install
the Python examples as well as the C ones (fd.o #48504, Simon)
• Add tp_contact_get_account() (Xavier)
• Improve documentation (Jonny, Simon, Xavier)
• Add "clean-for-new-branch" Makefile target which is more thorough than
clean, but less thorough than distclean (in particular, it doesn't
forget your ./configure options) (Simon)
• Add TpTLSCertificate, a TpProxy subclass representing a TLS
certificate (fdo #30460, Guillaume)
• TpMessageMixin now has helpers to implement the ChatState interface.
Fixes:
• Make it safe to hold refs to a remaining GAsyncResult after returning
to the main loop (fd.o #45554, Simon)
• When a TpProxy method call returns, which can occasionally be
synchronous,
use an idle to finish the corresponding GAsyncResult (fd.o #45514,
Simon)
• Add TP_NUM_DBUS_ERRORS (etc.) to supersede NUM_TP_DBUS_ERRORS (etc.)
(fd.o #46470, Simon)
• Make several methods returning a GStrv introspectable (fd.o #46471,
Simon)
• Retry preparation of features that depended on a missing connection
interface after the connection connects, in the hope that the
interface has
now become available (fd.o #42981, Guillaume)
• Interpret capabilities more strictly, avoiding falsely saying we
support
channel requests with fixed properties we don't understand (Xavier)
