to the documentation, and message-bus-list archives.
D-BUS 0.13
===
This is probably the last release before landing the large API changes
on the "dbus-object-names" branch.

can create any abstract socket, which isn't secure
since if you can crash the system bus you'd be able

and read warning in README so they don't
expect the API to be frozen already

similar to dbus_timeout_handle(), drop
connection/server-specific handle routines
- change message serials to be unsigned
- implemented <allow>/<deny>/<limit> features for
config file; system bus now has a deny-all policy
by default.
- system.conf has <includedir>system.d</includedir>
so packages can install additions to the default
policy to <allow> the messages they need. e.g.
CUPS might install a cups.conf - see
test/data/valid-config-files/system.d/test.conf
for an example.
- add timeouts for authentication, activation

namespace to be invalid (to avoid fake disconnect
messages for example)

the SHA-1 auth mechanism

in, etc.) helps a lot with NIS
- always store uid_t, pid_t, gid_t in "ulong"
rather than "int"
- implement config file settings for which
users can connect
- SHA-1 unit test
- dbus-send, dbus-monitor command line utilities
- fixed lots of misc crashes and other bugs
