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

218 expect the API to be frozen already
219 - rename .pc files to "dbus-1.pc" instead of
220 "dbus-1.0.pc" etc. - this will require changing
