13 (fd.o #32805, Mark Brand)
14 • Rename configure.in to configure.ac, and update it to modern conventions
15 (fd.o #32245; Javier Jardón, Simon McVittie)
16 • Correctly give XDG_DATA_HOME priority over XDG_DATA_DIRS (fd.o #34496,

22 D-Bus 1.4.6 (2010-02-17)
25 • Remove unfinished changes intended to support GTest-based tests,
26 which were mistakenly included in 1.4.4
28 D-Bus 1.4.4 (2010-02-17)
31 • Switch back to using even micro versions for stable releases; 1.4.1
32 should have been called 1.4.2, so skip that version number
33 • Don't leave bad file descriptors being watched when spawning processes,
34 which could result in a busy-loop (fd.o #32992, NB#200248; possibly
35 also LP#656134, LP#680444, LP#713157)
36 • Check for MSG_NOSIGNAL correctly

40 • Improve some error code paths (fd.o #29981, fd.o #32264, fd.o #32262,
41 fd.o #33128, fd.o #33277, fd.o #33126, NB#180486)
42 • Avoid possible symlink attacks in /tmp during compilation (fd.o #32854)
43 • Tidy up dead code (fd.o #25306, fd.o #33128, fd.o #34292, NB#180486)
44 • Improve gcc malloc annotations (fd.o #32710)
45 • If the system bus is launched via systemd, protect it from the OOM killer
46 • Documentation improvements (fd.o #11190)
47 • Avoid readdir_r, which is difficult to use correctly (fd.o #8284,
48 fd.o #15922, LP#241619)
49 • Cope with invalid files in session.d, system.d (fd.o #19186,
51 • Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285,
53 • Raise the system bus's fd limit to be sufficient for its configuration
54 (fd.o #33474, LP#381063)
55 • Fix syslog string processing
57 • Remove broken gcov parsing code and --enable-gcov, and replace them
58 with lcov HTML reports and --enable-compiler-coverage (fd.o #10887)
60 · avoid live-lock in Windows CE due to unfair condition variables
62 · support credentials-passing (fd.o #32542)
64 · opt-in to thread safety (fd.o #33464)
66 D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
69 • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
70 crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
71 only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
72 nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
74 • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
75 • Windows autolaunch improvements.
