(This is an experiment in decoupling the release schedule of the D-Bus
Specification and the reference implementation, which have traditionally
been released together.)

https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html is now at v0.32.

Changes since v0.31:

• Deprecate hyphen/minus in reversed domain names, recommending
  underscores instead. Recommend prepending an underscore to domain
  components that start with a digit, which would not be allowed.
  (fd.o #103914, Simon McVittie)
• Clarify how the SASL authentication handshake works
  (fd.o #104224, Simon McVittie)
• Recommend that the message bus should remove message header fields
  that it does not understand. The new item "HeaderFiltering" in the
  message bus' Features property indicates that it promises to do so.
  (fd.o #100317, Simon McVittie)

HeaderFiltering is not implemented in any released version of the
reference dbus-daemon, but it is available in git master and will be
released as part of dbus 1.13.0.
