+D-BUS 0.50 (06 September 2005)
+===
+This is a minor release from 0.36.2. The series number has changed
+not because of any technical reasons but as an indication that we
+are moving closer to 1.0. It is hoped that this will be the last

+GLib and Python bindings, as we transition to concentrate more on
+bug busting and code auditing.

+ config file; system bus now has a deny-all policy
+ by default.

+ CUPS might install a cups.conf - see

+ for an example.

+- cache user database information (groups user is
+ in, etc.) helps a lot with NIS
+- always store uid_t, pid_t, gid_t in "ulong"
+ rather than "int"
