Announcing dbus 1.16.2 (stable bugfix release)

[Simon McVittie]

dbus is the reference implementation of D-Bus, a message bus for
communication between applications and system services.

This is a stable-branch bug-fix release with minor changes.

Release notes for 1.16.x generally
==================================

The documentation updates in this release include some clarifications
to the 1.16.0 announcement in the NEWS file, which I've copied here:

• As a result of the move from Autotools to Meson as the recommended
  build system on Unix, the names of all build-time options have changed.
  Not all Meson options are a 1:1 replacement for their closest equivalent
  in Autotools, so the options used for a dbus build should be reviewed.

• If `meson install` is run as root, and traditional (non-systemd)
  activation is enabled, the ownership and setuid permission of
  dbus-daemon-launch-helper are not set automatically.
  This is not the same as the historical behaviour of the Autotools build
  system, which would set the ownership and permissions automatically if
  run as uid 0.
  The ownership and permissions must now be set by OS distribution packaging,
  or as a manual post-installation step if dbus is installed directly
  without going via a packaging system (which is not recommended).
