obex-data-server 0.3

February 22, 2008 on 1:55 am | In GNOME, obex-data-server | 12 Comments

obex-data-server 0.3 released: http://tadas.dailyda.com/software/obex-data-server-0.3.tar.gz.

This release features API change regarding Server object and removes some memory leaks. ChangeLog:

• API change: Manager.CreateBluetoothServer(string source_address, string pattern, boolean require_pairing)
• API change: Server.Start(string path, boolean allow_write, boolean auto_accept)
• update ods-server-test.py according to new API
• Remove some memory leaks

As you can see, require_pairing argument was moved from Server.Start() to Manager.CreateBluetoothServer(). Introduction of require_pairing in 0.2 version violated obex-data-server architecture by having transport specific code in object other than Manager. This would have made implementing other transports in future impossible.

Sorry for the confusion.. Shit happens

obex-data-server 0.2 released: http://tadas.dailyda.com/software/obex-data-server-0.2.tar.gz.

This release features server enhancements and several bug fixes. ChangeLog:

• Distribute python tests (ods-session-test.py and ods-server-test.py).
• Make object paths lowercase.
• API change: Server.Start(string path, boolean allow_write, boolean require_pairing, boolean auto_accept).
• New methods: Server.Accept(), Server.Reject().
• Fix server SDP record lifetime (now exists between Start() and Stop()).
• Make D-Bus system config file optional (enable with –enable-system-config configure option).
• Exclude dot files from folder listings.

See D-Bus API docs for info how to use new Server.Start() and Accept/Reject methods.
