git tag: dbus-1.13.22

Enhancements:

• D-Bus Specification 0.38:
  · Add ActivatableServicesChanged signal and feature flag
    (dbus#376, Ralf Habacker)
  · Document * as optionally-escaped in D-Bus addresses, matching
    the implementation (dbus!248, Kir Kolyshkin)

• Emit the new ActivatableServicesChanged signal when configuration
  and/or activatable services are reloaded (dbus#376, Ralf Habacker)

• Add an XML catalog file for the DTDs we install
  (dbus!202, Jan Tojnar)

Bug fixes:

• On Linux, when using traditional (non-systemd) service activation,
  don't log warnings about failing to reset OOM score adjustment if the
  process is already more susceptible to the OOM killer, as user processes
  usually are with systemd ≥ 250. (dbus#374, Simon McVittie)

• On Linux, when using traditional (non-systemd) system bus activation,
  reset the OOM score adjustment to 0 as intended.
  If the system dbus-daemon is protected from the OOM killer, this
  avoids that protection unintentionally being inherited by every
  system service. (dbus#378, Simon McVittie)

• Fix a code path that could result in a crash on out-of-memory
  (dbus#246, Marc-André Lureau)

• Fix compilation if embedded tests are enabled but verbose mode and
  stats are both disabled (Marc-André Lureau)

• CMake: Improve support for Windows with MSVC and add CI coverage
  (dbus!218, Marc-André Lureau)

• CMake: Improve Docbook documentation-generation
  (dbus#377, Ralf Habacker)

• On Linux, fix a race condition in the integration test for transient
  services (Debian#1005889, dbus!256; Simon McVittie)
