-D-Bus 1.2.1 (04 April)
-==
-- Due to issues putting the re-licensing effort on hold indefinitely, it has
- been decided to move to 1.2.x versioning scheme. Being that 1.1.20 is
- considered to also be 1.2.0 and this being the second release in the 1.2.x
- stable series we have versioned this release 1.2.1. This release contains a
- number of bug fixes identified after 1.1.20.
-- compiles under some older versions of glibc
-- compiles without X support once again
-- fix stuck server grab if dbus-launch is run in an existing D-Bus X session
-- various Mac OSX build fixes added
-- don't use the broken poll call on Mac OSX
-- better checks for linker flag support should allow D-Bus to link under
- various linkers
-- exit_on_disconnect is set after the connection registers with a bus so we
- don't exit if we get a disconnect during the handshake
-- dicts now work correctly with dbus-send
-- inotify backend is now less aggressive
-- pending calls expire correctly
-- memleak of uuid when the bus is autolaunched fixed

-D-Bus 1.1.20 - "Conisten Water" (27 Febuary)
-==
-
-- This is the next generation supported STABLE release of D-Bus. For all
- intents and purposes this is the 1.2.0 release WITHOUT the planned X11/MIT
- license change due to a couple of license holders who have yet to respond.
- For the most part this license change is being persued to simplify licensing
- issues and fix a couple of licensing courner cases. When this happens D-Bus
- will be released under the 1.2.0 version.
-
-- D-Bus 1.0.x effectively goes into security fix mode and will only be
- updated for major issues.
-
-- Fixed CVE-2008-0595 - security policy of the type <allow send_interface=
- "some.interface.WithMethods"/> work as an implicit allow for
- messages sent without an interface bypassing the default deny rules and
- potentially allowing restricted methods exported on the bus to be executed
- by unauthorized users.
-
-- Fixes dbus-launch so the session bus goes away so does D-Bus
-
-- Builds against latest gcc/glibc changes
-
-- Correctly unref connections without guids during shutdown
-
-- About the name: Submitted by Greg K Nicholson, Conisten Water is a lake in
- Cumbria, England where several water speed records have been broken. Between
- 1956 and 1959 Sir Malcolm's son Donald Campbell set four successive records on the lake in Bluebird K7, a hydroplane.

-D-Bus 1.1.4 - 1.2.0RC2 (17 January 2007)
-==
-- Fixes inotify support
-
-D-Bus 1.1.3 - 1.2.0RC1 (15 January 2007)
-==
-
-- This release is intended to be Release Candidate 1 of major release
- D-Bus 1.2.0. If nothing is found to be wrong with this release it
- will become 1.2.0 within a week. If we need to make major changes
- we will release an RC2 and start the process over again.
-
-- This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
- are found (though this is extreamly unlikely).
-
-- DTD for the introspection format is fixed and uploaded to the servers
-
-- Sources now reside in a git repository at
- http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=dbus/dbus.git;a=summary
-
-- Argument path matching of the type arg0path='/aa/bb/' is now supported
- (see the specification for more information)
-
-- New error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ObjectPathInUse added
-
-- Autolaunched busses now save their parameters in X11 if possible making them
- behave closer to busses launched through the normal mechanisms
-
-- inotify is now the default backend for watching configuration file changes
-
-- More support for the AIX platform has been added
-
-- Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements
-
-D-Bus 1.1.2 (27 July 2007)
-==
-
-- This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable
- release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no
- major problems are found. We'll do more betas if significant
- changes are made.
-
-- This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
- are found (though we will try hard not to).
-
-- The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a
- setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody
- user, while services it launches may need to run as a different
- user.
-
- ***Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be
- timely right now, before 1.2.0***
-
- A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt
-
-- The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be
- actually usable. The dbus-daemon man page describes the new
- elements in the address format. 1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces
- flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner
- approach.
-
-- Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes
- if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important
- otherwise.
-
-
-D-Bus 1.1.1 (18 June 2007)
-==
-- This is a development release, unless you need specific
- functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
- (though we will try hard not to)
-- The bus daemon now generates a globally-unique ID for itself, which is available
- using the convenience function dbus_bus_get_id(). Use this as a unique ID
- for a user's session, for example.
-- dbus_server_get_id(), dbus_connection_get_server_id() now available to access
- the unique ID of a particular address
-- dbus_watch_get_fd() deprecated since it had unclear cross-platform semantics.
- dbus_watch_get_unix_fd() and dbus_watch_get_socket() replace it.
-- support ANONYMOUS mechanism for authentication, which allows a client to
- authenticate as nobody in particular
-- add API dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() which will allow the message
- stream to begin if the client auths as anonymous (otherwise, the client
- will be dropped unless they auth as a user).
-- the ANONYMOUS support means you can now use D-Bus (without a bus daemon) as
- a protocol for a network service provided to anonymous Internet or LAN
- clients
-- many internal changes to better support the Windows port, though the
- port is still not complete in this release
-- some improved documentation and return_if_fail checks
-- some small bug fixes
-
-D-Bus 1.1.0 (25 May 2007)
-==
-- first release in the development series, unless you need specific
- functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
- (though we will try hard not to)
-- better eavesdropping support now picks up reply messages for debugging
-- .pc file now lists the directory the daemon is installed into (daemondir)
-- GetAll call added to the properties interface
-- support for message serialization added for use with external transports like
- TUBES!!!
-- many bugs fixed
