dbus-glib is deprecated, please use GDBus in new GLib-based projects.
But for those who still need dbus-glib:

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/dbus-glib-0.96.tar.gz
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/dbus-glib-0.96.tar.gz.asc

The "terminating at New Cross Gate" release.

• Fix a regression in marshalling GObject instances as object paths,
  which broke NetworkManager (fd.o #37852, Debian #628890; Simon McVittie)

• Fix crashes when sending a message when disconnected from D-Bus but still
  working through our backlog of incoming messages, similar to fd.o #12675
  (fd.o #38406, Simon McVittie)

• Cope more gracefully, with a critical warning instead of a memory leak,
  if programmer error causes G_VALUE_COLLECT to fail
  (fd.o #38406, NB#86280, NB#180486; Kimmo Hämäläinen, Christian Dywan,
   Simon McVittie)

• Avoid an assertion failure when unregistering a proxy if GetNameOwner failed
  (fd.o #38408, NB#116862; Janne Karhunen, Simon McVittie)

• Don't report various programmer errors as "out of memory"; raise suitable
  critical warnings instead, and don't leak memory (fd.o #35767, fd.o #35766;
  Simon McVittie)

• If a remote process sends a wrong method call on the Properties interface,
  send back an error reply, instead of warning on stderr and not replying
  (fd.o #35766, Simon McVittie)

• Show a warning if dbus_g_method_return fails to marshal something
  (fd.o #29884, NB#180486; Christian Dywan, Simon McVittie)

• Remove remnants of i18n (fd.o #36428, Simon McVittie)

• Remove dead code (NB#180486; Christian Dywan)
