-to the documentation, and message-bus-list archives.
-
-D-BUS 0.13
-===
-
-This is probably the last release before landing the large API changes
-on the "dbus-object-names" branch.
-
-- fix system bus to always use filesystem socket; anyone
- can create any abstract socket, which isn't secure
- since if you can crash the system bus you'd be able
- to replace it.
-- add DTD for configuration file
-- improve specification a bit
-
-D-BUS 0.12

-- fix build on non-x86
-- docs updates
-- lots of other bugfixes
-
-D-BUS 0.11
-===
-
-- add --enable-docs to turn off/on the docbook stuff
- (doesn't cover doxygen stuff yet)
-- make people define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
- and read warning in README so they don't
- expect the API to be frozen already

- "dbus-1.0.pc" etc. - this will require changing

-D-BUS 0.10
-===
-
-- reversed order of args to dbus_message_new()
-- renamed dbus_message_name_is() and some other
- functions
-- change DBusWatch to have dbus_watch_handle()
- similar to dbus_timeout_handle(), drop
- connection/server-specific handle routines
-- change message serials to be unsigned
-- implemented <allow>/<deny>/<limit> features for
- config file; system bus now has a deny-all policy
- by default.
-- system.conf has <includedir>system.d</includedir>
- so packages can install additions to the default
- policy to <allow> the messages they need. e.g.
- CUPS might install a cups.conf - see
- test/data/valid-config-files/system.d/test.conf
- for an example.
-- add timeouts for authentication, activation

-- consider messages in the org.freedesktop.Local
- namespace to be invalid (to avoid fake disconnect
- messages for example)
-- fix assorted memory leaks and other bugs in
- the SHA-1 auth mechanism
-- 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"
-- implement config file settings for which
- users can connect
-- SHA-1 unit test
-- dbus-send, dbus-monitor command line utilities
-- fixed lots of misc crashes and other bugs
