Dbus-Broker 37 Released For High Performance & Reliable D-Bus

Written by Michael Larabel in Free Software on 17 June 2025 at 06:04 AM EDT. Add A Comment
The Dbus-Broker project from the BUS1/systemd developers is out with its first update in more than one year for this D-Bus implementation that aims to be more reliable and higher performing than D-Bus itself.

While this is the first Dbus-Broker release since April 2024, it's not too exciting with this open-source message broker being rather mature at this stage. The release highlights of the new Dbus-Broker 37 include:
"* Add `/etc` and `/run` to the search-paths for system services. This change is aligned with recent changes to the reference implementation.

* Support systemd's `notify-reload` to trigger a reload operation. This replaces the old `busctl call ...ReloadConfig` operation.

* Extend `org.freedesktop.DBus.Debug.Stats.GetStats` with all the fields defined by the specification.

* Fix a bug in match-rule processing which caused argument processing to fail for any but the first message argument.

* Fix a memory leak in configuration processing when parsing invalid user or group IDs."
