-D-Bus 1.0.0 (08 November 2006)
-==
-- Documents updated with API/ABI garuntees 
-- Added missing patch FreeBSD need to run out of the box
-- dbus-monitor now has a profile mode
-- AUTHORS file updated with names from the ChangeLog
-  Thanks to everyone who helped get us here
-
-D-Bus 1.0 RC 3 (0.95) (02 November 2006)
-==
-- DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE no longer needs to be defined when building apps
-- ./configure checks now work when cross compiling
-- dbus-uuidgen --ensure is now run in the init script so there is no need to
-  run it in a post script
-- dbus-uuidgen now writes out to /var/lib/dbus to work with systems that do not
-  have a writable /etc. Packages should install and own the /var/lib/dbus 
-  directory
-- recursive locks are now used when dbus_threads_init_default is called
-- standard_session_servicedirs tag added to the session.conf
-  under a normal build this specifies these service directories:
-    /usr/local/share/dbus-1/services
-    /usr/share/dbus-1/services
-    $HOME/.local/share/dbus-1/services
-- fixed crash when a service directory is specified more than once
-- fixed a crash in *BSD when watching config directories for changes
-- fixed Irix build by using dirp->__dd_fd to get the file descriptor
-- cleaned up the LOCAL_CREDS vs CMGCRED credential code so *BSD's don't 
-  crash here anymore
-- dbus_message_iter_get_array_len deprecated
-- cleanup-man-pages.sh added so packagers can clean up Doxygen man page output
-  from 7 to 2 megs
-- large documentation improvements
-- numerous bug fixes
-
-D-Bus 1.0 RC 2 (0.94) (14 October 2006)
-==
-- dbus-uuidgen binary added for future remote machine identification
-  packagers should call dbus-uuidgen --ensure in their post
-- GetMachineId peer method added to the bus API
-- dbus_connection_set_route_peer_messages API added to let the bus send
-  peer messages directly to an app
-- Autolaunch abilities added to dbus-launch with the --autolaunch flag
-  This feature allows libdbus to start a session bus if none can be found
-  This is an internal feature and should not be used by scripts
-  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is still the correct way to specify a session bus
-- dbus-launch now prints out a simple key value pairs instead of shell scripts
-  if one of the shell flags aren't used
-- support DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT env variable to cause blocking waiting for gdb
-- weak ref are now held for shared connections so the right things happen
-  this fixes some pretty major bugs with the way connections were handled
-- Some refactoring for Windows (doesn't effect Unix)
-- Solaris build fixes
-- MacOSX build fixes
-- Cross compile build fixes.  We now assume getpwnam_r is posix and va_lists
-  can be copied by value since we can't check this in a cross compile.  If
-  this is not true for a particular target is up to the developer to patch.
-- Bug fixing all around
-
-D-Bus 1.0 RC 1 (0.93) (14 September 2006)
-==

-  shared connection
-- The --introspect switch has been added to the bus for printing out 
-  introspection data without actually running the bus
-- LOCAL_CREDS socket credentials are now supported for systems which 
-  support it such as NetBSD
-- Generalize kqueue support so it works with NetBSD as well as FreeBSD
-- Numerous bug fixes and memory leaks patched
-
-D-Bus 0.92 (18 August 2006)
-==
-- Proper thread locking added to pending calls
-- Threading semantics changed from init early to init before the second thread
-  is started
-- Correctly error out when an application tries to acquire or release the
-  org.freedesktop.DBus name instead of sending false result codes
-- kqueue directory watching code can now be used to monitor config file changes
-  on FreeBSD
-- --with-dbus-daemondir configure switch added so the daemon can be installed
-  separate from the user binaries
-- Makefiles fixed for cygwin 
-- Various fixes for the ongoing Windows port 
-- Fixed docs and comments to use the D-Bus spelling instead of D-BUS
-- Many memleaks and bugs fixed
-
-D-Bus 0.91 (24 July 2006)
-==
-- Remove some lingering bits left over from the bindings split
-- Fix assertion causing D-Bus applications to crash when checks are enabled
