Use --enable-debug=yes or CFLAGS=-O0 instead. + +Enhancements: + +• D-Bus Specification version 0.30 + · Define the jargon term "activation" more clearly + · Define the jargon term "auto-starting", which is one form of activation + · Document the optional SystemdService key in service files + · Use versioned interface and bus names in most examples + · Clarify intended behaviour of Properties.GetAll + (fd.o #36190, fd.o #98671; Philip Withnall, Simon McVittie) + +• Fix and enable a lot of compiler warnings to improve future code + quality.

The bug remains open while + we look for a more general solution. + (fd.o #95263, LP#1591411; Simon McVittie) + + • Don't run the test test-dbus-launch-x11.sh if X11 autolaunching + was disabled at compile time.
