D-Bus Python Bindings 0.82.2 (unreleased)
=========================================
+Incompatibility with 0.82.1:
+
+* If you pass the timeout argument to call_async or an asynchronous proxy
+ method call and expect it to be in milliseconds, you should change the
+ argument to be in seconds, and require dbus-python >= 0.82.2.
+
+ This feature didn't work at all in versions prior to 0.82.1, so any code
+ that works with 0.82.0 or earlier is unaffected.
+
Features:
* @dbus.service.method supports a rel_path_keyword argument for the benefit

Fixes:
-* Connection.call_async() measures timeouts in seconds, as was always intended.

This means that calls through a proxy object with a reply_handler and
- error_handler will measure the timeout in seconds too. call_blocking()
- already used seconds, and still does. Existing code using timeouts for
- async calls (which would only have worked with 0.82.1) will have to adjust
- the timeout length. This applies to the OLPC Sugar environment as used in
- Trial 2, for instance.
+ error_handler will measure the timeout in seconds too.
* Introspect() now works on objects exported in more than one location.
