D-Bus 1.2.6. (2008-12-05)
Joachim Breitner discovered a mistake in the default configuration for the system bus (system.conf) which made the default policy for both sent and received messages was effectively *allow*, and not deny as stated.
This release fixes the send side permission, but does not change the receive. See the release announcement for more information.

D-Bus 1.1.4. development/unstable release. (2008-01-17)
- This release is intended to be Release Candidate 2 of major release D-Bus 1.2.0. If nothing is found to be wrong with this release it will become 1.2.0 within a week. If we need to make major changes we will release an RC3 and start the process over.
- Fixes inotify support
D-Bus 1.1.2 development/unstable release. (2007-07-27)
- This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no major problems are found. We'll do more betas if significant changes are made.
- This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems are found (though we will try hard not to).
The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody user, while services it launches may need to run as a different user. Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be timely right now, before 1.2.0. A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt
- The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be actually usable. The dbus-daemon man page describes the new elements in the address format. 1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner approach.
- Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important otherwise.
D-Bus 1.1.1 development/unstable release. (2007-06-18)
D-Bus 1.1.0 development/unstable release. (2007-05-27)
