New in 0.8.3 ============ This release contains a critical stability/minor security update which affects Electron applications that utilize Portal notifications (eg, through Flatpak). It is highly recommended that all users of libnotify 0.8.x update to this release. Please note that this fix has increased the minimum required version of glib to 2.62.0. * notification: Use g_signal_connect_object (#34) [Maximiliano] * notification: Move disconnect to dispose [Maximiliano] Contributors: Maximiliano Sandoval R New in 0.8.2 ============ * Set new summary for library [Maximiliano] * docs: port to gi-docgen [Maximiliano] * docs: Fix URL to Desktop Notification Spec [Andre] * meson: replace deprecated meson.source_root() calls [Kai] * meson: bump minimum meson version to 0.58 [centaurii] * Introspection docs fixes [Maximiliano, Logan] Contributors: Maximiliano Sandoval R, Andre Klapper, Kai Smith, centaurii, Logan Rathbone New in 0.8.1 ============ * Keep version of bindings at 0.7 (#27) [Marco] Contributors: Marco Trevisan New in 0.8.0 ============ * Use Desktop Portal Notification when running confined (snap and flatpak) Now the library acts like a wrapper in such scenario, with some limited capabilities, but this will enforce security and user control over the allowed notifications.

Patch by Lucas Rocha. * Added support for sending the closed reason in the "closed" signal handler. (Ticket #139) * Added support for sending the status icon XID to the notification daemon. This will allow better position tracking for context notifications. Patch by Colin Walters. * Fixed a breakage where we were including gtkversion.h directly. version 0.4.4 (27-February-2007): * Fixed a bug where a notification's ID could be reset when a different notification was closed. Patch by jylefort. (Bug #94) * Fixed a crash when the D-BUS proxy was not being freed on notify_uninit, which was problematic when used in a loadable module. (Bug #92) * Fixed a crash when a signal handler for the notification's closed signal caused the notification to be destroyed. (Bug #116) * Fixed memory leaks when creating notifications. (Bug #112) * Fixed potential memory leaks where the function passed to notify_notification_add_action to free the user data was not being called. (Bug #119) version 0.4.3 (8-October-2006): * Fixed the raw image data support to send the correct array type. Patch by mderezynski. (Bug #68) * Fixed configure.ac to check for the required version of glib (2.6). Patch by compnerd. (Bug #69) * Fixed invalid notification IDs when notify_notification_show() is called on a notification that had already been closed or had expired. Now, the notification will receive a new ID. Patch by Ed Catmur. (Bug #78) * Fixed the property change notification used when setting a GtkStatusIocn. It was emitting "attach-icon" but should have been emitted "status-icon". (Bug #81) * Fixed an invalid assertion in notify_notification_new_with_status_icon. Patch by lucasr. (Bug #85) * notify_uninit is no longer called automatically at exit. Applications and libraries should do this manually. Patch by berndth. (Bug #86) version 0.4.2 (17-June-2006): * Add G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS to notify.h, so that libnotify can be used in C++ applications properly. version 0.4.1 (17-June-2006): * Added support for attaching to a GtkStatusIcon. Patch by chpe. (Bug #60) * Added GObject properties to NotifyNotification. Patch by chpe. (Bug #60) * Added API documentation, accessible through devhelp. * Fixed up libnotify.pc to support dependencies correctly. (Bug #58) * Fixed notify_uninit() to properly set _initted to FALSE after being called. (Bug #56) version 0.4.0 (26-April-2006): * Patch by M.S. to switch notify-send to use GOption instead of popt, to add -v, --version, -h, and --hint options, and to rename -T, --type to -c, --category. This also fixes assertions when calling notify-send "". (Bug #41) * Fixed the short flag for --type to be -T in notify-send. (Bug #18) * Fixed the help in notify-send to indicate that --expire-timeout requires milliseconds, not seconds. (Bug #28) * Fixed some C99 usage. Patch by jensgr. (Bug #44) * Fixed notify-send on PPC. version 0.3.2 (23-January-2006): * Added back notify_get_server_info() and notify_get_server_caps(). * Fixed to work with D-BUS 0.36 and higher. However, it's best to note that due to bugs in versions of the D-BUS GLib bindings before 0.60, raw image data cannot be sent in notifications. A warning will be outputted to the console. * Added assertions to all of the API functions so that invalid data passed won't crash the calling program. * Added automatic notification removal for non-expiring notifications and notifications with actions when the calling application closes. * Fixed issues where the header files couldn't always be included in some programs. * Fixed a lot of compiler errors and warnings. * Fixed C99 usage. * Added the ability to set user data on action callbacks on a per-action basis. * Fixed notify-send to work without crashing. * Fixed the library to send messages appropriate to the D-BUS specification. * Cleaned up the API a lot. * Renamed NOTIFY_TIMEOUT_* to NOTIFY_EXPIRES_*. * Removed notify_notification_show_and_forget(). * Internal changes to remove the number of DBusGProxy connections, and make sure it's initialized before using any D-BUS GValue-related code. This fixes raw image sending. version 0.3.0: * First release of the new GObject based API and simpler wire protocol version 0.2.3: * Fix notify-send to work with icon parameters (bug #4308) version 0.2.2 (10-August-2005): * Fixed many run-time issues with PPC and AMD64 (Martin Pitt) version 0.2.1 (28-July-2005): * Fixed hint support for D-BUS 0.3x. version 0.2.0 (28-July-2005): * Initial public release.
