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
