Bindings are separate from the core now for the most part.  Yes the 0.7x
series corresponds to the 0.9x series of dbus (they used to be packaged
together).  However in the future the D-Bus API/ABI will be stable and
it will be up to the bindings what the minimum version they will
support.

dbus-glib are bindings.  You can use these bindings as helpers for
instance to get GLib mainloop support but you should use the lowlevel
API to write the bindings.  In Python we separate out the glib parts
into the dbus.glib module.  Hope this helps.
