D-Bus 1.0.0 (08 November 2006)
==
- Documents updated with API/ABI garuntees 
- Added missing patch FreeBSD need to run out of the box
- dbus-monitor now has a profile mode
- AUTHORS file updated with names from the ChangeLog
  Thanks to everyone who helped get us here

D-Bus 1.0 RC 3 (0.95) (02 November 2006)
==
- DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE no longer needs to be defined when building apps
- ./configure checks now work when cross compiling
- dbus-uuidgen --ensure is now run in the init script so there is no need to
  run it in a post script
- dbus-uuidgen now writes out to /var/lib/dbus to work with systems that do not
  have a writable /etc. Packages should install and own the /var/lib/dbus 
  directory
- recursive locks are now used when dbus_threads_init_default is called
- standard_session_servicedirs tag added to the session.conf
  under a normal build this specifies these service directories:
    /usr/local/share/dbus-1/services
    /usr/share/dbus-1/services
    $HOME/.local/share/dbus-1/services
- fixed crash when a service directory is specified more than once
- fixed a crash in *BSD when watching config directories for changes
- fixed Irix build by using dirp->__dd_fd to get the file descriptor
- cleaned up the LOCAL_CREDS vs CMGCRED credential code so *BSD's don't 
  crash here anymore
- dbus_message_iter_get_array_len deprecated
- cleanup-man-pages.sh added so packagers can clean up Doxygen man page output
  from 7 to 2 megs
- large documentation improvements
- numerous bug fixes

D-Bus 1.0 RC 2 (0.94) (14 October 2006)
==
- dbus-uuidgen binary added for future remote machine identification
  packagers should call dbus-uuidgen --ensure in their post
- GetMachineId peer method added to the bus API
- dbus_connection_set_route_peer_messages API added to let the bus send
  peer messages directly to an app
- Autolaunch abilities added to dbus-launch with the --autolaunch flag
  This feature allows libdbus to start a session bus if none can be found
  This is an internal feature and should not be used by scripts
  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is still the correct way to specify a session bus
- dbus-launch now prints out a simple key value pairs instead of shell scripts
  if one of the shell flags aren't used
- support DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT env variable to cause blocking waiting for gdb
- weak ref are now held for shared connections so the right things happen
  this fixes some pretty major bugs with the way connections were handled
- Some refactoring for Windows (doesn't effect Unix)
- Solaris build fixes
- MacOSX build fixes
- Cross compile build fixes.  We now assume getpwnam_r is posix and va_lists
  can be copied by value since we can't check this in a cross compile.  If
  this is not true for a particular target is up to the developer to patch.
- Bug fixing all around

D-Bus 1.0 RC 1 (0.93) (14 September 2006)

  introspection data without actually running the bus
- LOCAL_CREDS socket credentials are now supported for systems which 
  support it such as NetBSD
- Generalize kqueue support so it works with NetBSD as well as FreeBSD
- Numerous bug fixes and memory leaks patched

D-Bus 0.92 (18 August 2006)
==

  org.freedesktop.DBus name instead of sending false result codes
- kqueue directory watching code can now be used to monitor config file changes
  on FreeBSD
- --with-dbus-daemondir configure switch added so the daemon can be installed
  separate from the user binaries

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 --enable-docs to turn off/on the docbook stuff

  and read warning in README so they don't 
  expect the API to be frozen already

  similar to dbus_timeout_handle(), drop 
  connection/server-specific handle routines

- 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

  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
