23 • Add UnknownObject, UnknownInterface, UnknownProperty and PropertyReadOnly
24 errors to dbus-shared.h (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering)

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

53 • Improve gcc malloc annotations (fd.o #32710)
54 • If the system bus is launched via systemd, protect it from the OOM killer
55 • Documentation improvements (fd.o #11190)
56 • Avoid readdir_r, which is difficult to use correctly (fd.o #8284,
57 fd.o #15922, LP#241619)
58 • Cope with invalid files in session.d, system.d (fd.o #19186,
60 • Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285,
62 • Raise the system bus's fd limit to be sufficient for its configuration
63 (fd.o #33474, LP#381063)
64 • Fix syslog string processing
66 • Remove broken gcov parsing code and --enable-gcov, and replace them
67 with lcov HTML reports and --enable-compiler-coverage (fd.o #10887)
69 · avoid live-lock in Windows CE due to unfair condition variables
71 · support credentials-passing (fd.o #32542)

75 D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
78 • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
79 crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
80 only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
81 nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
83 • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
84 • Windows autolaunch improvements.
