19 • Install the documentation, and an index for Devhelp (fd.o #13495,

31 which were mistakenly included in 1.4.4
33 D-Bus 1.4.4 (2010-02-17)
36 • Switch back to using even micro versions for stable releases; 1.4.1
37 should have been called 1.4.2, so skip that version number
38 • Don't leave bad file descriptors being watched when spawning processes,
39 which could result in a busy-loop (fd.o #32992, NB#200248; possibly
40 also LP#656134, LP#680444, LP#713157)
41 • Check for MSG_NOSIGNAL correctly

47 • Avoid possible symlink attacks in /tmp during compilation (fd.o #32854)
48 • Tidy up dead code (fd.o #25306, fd.o #33128, fd.o #34292, NB#180486)
49 • Improve gcc malloc annotations (fd.o #32710)
50 • If the system bus is launched via systemd, protect it from the OOM killer
51 • Documentation improvements (fd.o #11190)
52 • Avoid readdir_r, which is difficult to use correctly (fd.o #8284,
53 fd.o #15922, LP#241619)
54 • Cope with invalid files in session.d, system.d (fd.o #19186,
56 • Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285,
58 • Raise the system bus's fd limit to be sufficient for its configuration
59 (fd.o #33474, LP#381063)
60 • Fix syslog string processing
62 • Remove broken gcov parsing code and --enable-gcov, and replace them
63 with lcov HTML reports and --enable-compiler-coverage (fd.o #10887)
65 · avoid live-lock in Windows CE due to unfair condition variables
67 · support credentials-passing (fd.o #32542)
69 · opt-in to thread safety (fd.o #33464)
71 D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
74 • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
75 crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
76 only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
77 nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
79 • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
80 • Windows autolaunch improvements.
