218 This is probably the last release before landing the large API changes
219 on the "dbus-object-names" branch.
221 - fix system bus to always use filesystem socket; anyone
222 can create any abstract socket, which isn't secure
223 since if you can crash the system bus you'd be able

259 expect the API to be frozen already
260 - rename .pc files to "dbus-1.pc" instead of
261 "dbus-1.0.pc" etc. - this will require changing

291 test/data/valid-config-files/system.d/test.conf
