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

230 expect the API to be frozen already
231 - rename .pc files to "dbus-1.pc" instead of
232 "dbus-1.0.pc" etc. - this will require changing
