+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.
+
