Who knew if you promise something you have to deliver. Well here you
are, D-Bus 1.1.3 or as I like to refer to it 1.2.0RC1. That's right, if
everything goes well within a week we should have our second major D-Bus
release. I'll wait until then to get nostalgic about the great old days
of 1.0.0 "Blue Bird". Why when I was your age D-Bus wasn't even at a
major version and we didn't even have a recursive type system...but I
digress. Here is the info you have been waiting for:
* This release is intended to be Release Candidate 1 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 RC2 and start the process over
again.
* This is a development release, so API's may still change if
problems are found (though this is extremely unlikely).
* DTD for the introspection format is fixed and uploaded to the
servers
* Sources now reside in a git repository at
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=dbus/dbus.git;a=summary
* Argument path matching of the type arg0path='/aa/bb/' is now
supported (see the specification for more information)
* New error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ObjectPathInUse added
* Autolaunched busses now save their parameters in X11 if possible
making them behave closer to busses launched through the normal
mechanisms
* inotify is now the default backend for watching configuration
file changes
* More support for the AIX platform has been added
* Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements
