+D-Bus 1.2.1 (04 April)
+==
+- Due to issues putting the re-licensing effort on hold indefinitely, it has 
+  been decided to move to 1.2.x versioning scheme.  Being that 1.1.20 is 
+  considered to also be 1.2.0 and this being the second release in the 1.2.x 
+  stable series we have versioned this release 1.2.1. This release contains a 
+  number of bug fixes identified after 1.1.20.
+- compiles under some older versions of glibc
+- compiles without X support once again
+- fix stuck server grab if dbus-launch is run in an existing D-Bus X session
+- various Mac OSX build fixes added
+- don't use the broken poll call on Mac OSX
+- better checks for linker flag support should allow D-Bus to link under
+  various linkers
+- exit_on_disconnect is set after the connection registers with a bus so we 
+  don't exit if we get a disconnect during the handshake
+- dicts now work correctly with dbus-send
+- inotify backend is now less aggressive
+- pending calls expire correctly
+- memleak of uuid when the bus is autolaunched fixed
+
+D-Bus 1.1.20 - "Conisten Water" (27 Febuary)
+==
+
+- This is the next generation supported STABLE release of D-Bus. For all 
+  intents and purposes this is the 1.2.0 release WITHOUT the planned X11/MIT 
+  license change due to a couple of license holders who have yet to respond.
+  For the most part this license change is being persued to simplify licensing
+  issues and fix a couple of licensing courner cases.  When this happens D-Bus
+  will be released under the 1.2.0 version.
+
+- D-Bus 1.0.x effectively goes into security fix mode and will only be
+  updated for major issues.
+
+- Fixed CVE-2008-0595 - security policy of the type <allow send_interface=
+  "some.interface.WithMethods"/> work as an implicit allow for
+  messages sent without an interface bypassing the default deny rules and 
+  potentially allowing restricted methods exported on the bus to be executed
+  by unauthorized users. 
+
+- Fixes dbus-launch so the session bus goes away so does D-Bus
+
+- Builds against latest gcc/glibc changes
+
+- Correctly unref connections without guids during shutdown
+
+- About the name: Submitted by Greg K Nicholson, Conisten Water is a lake in 
+  Cumbria, England where several water speed records have been broken. Between 
+  1956 and 1959 Sir Malcolm's son Donald Campbell set four successive records on  the lake in Bluebird K7, a hydroplane.
+  (Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coniston_Water#Waterspeed_record)
+
+D-Bus 1.1.4 - 1.2.0RC2 (17 January 2007)
+==
+- Fixes inotify support
+
+D-Bus 1.1.3 - 1.2.0RC1 (15 January 2007)
+==
+
+- 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 extreamly 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
+
+D-Bus 1.1.2 (27 July 2007)
+==
+
+- This release is intended to be a feature complete beta for stable
+  release 1.2.0, please test it. 1.2.0 will follow pretty soon if no
+  major problems are found.  We'll do more betas if significant
+  changes are made.
+
+- This is a development release, so API's may still change if problems
+  are found (though we will try hard not to).
+
+- The system bus now supports starting services on demand. This uses a
+  setuid helper program because system bus daemon runs as a nobody
+  user, while services it launches may need to run as a different
+  user.
+
+  ***Extra eyes auditing the setuid helper are encouraged and would be
+  timely right now, before 1.2.0***
+
+  A design doc is available in doc/system-activation.txt
+
+- The TCP address format has been enhanced, such that TCP may be
+  actually usable.  The dbus-daemon man page describes the new
+  elements in the address format.  1.1.1 had added an all_interfaces
+  flag to the format, which has been removed in favor of a cleaner
+  approach.
+
+- Some thread-related bugs have been fixed, these are important fixes
+  if you are using multiple threads with libdbus, and not important
+  otherwise.
+
+
+D-Bus 1.1.1 (18 June 2007)
+==
+- This is a development release, unless you need specific 
+  functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
+  (though we will try hard not to)
+- The bus daemon now generates a globally-unique ID for itself, which is available 
+  using the convenience function dbus_bus_get_id(). Use this as a unique ID 
+  for a user's session, for example.
+- dbus_server_get_id(), dbus_connection_get_server_id() now available to access
+  the unique ID of a particular address
+- dbus_watch_get_fd() deprecated since it had unclear cross-platform semantics.
+  dbus_watch_get_unix_fd() and dbus_watch_get_socket() replace it.
+- support ANONYMOUS mechanism for authentication, which allows a client to 
+  authenticate as nobody in particular
+- add API dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() which will allow the message
+  stream to begin if the client auths as anonymous (otherwise, the client 
+  will be dropped unless they auth as a user).
+- the ANONYMOUS support means you can now use D-Bus (without a bus daemon) as 
+  a protocol for a network service provided to anonymous Internet or LAN  
+  clients
+- many internal changes to better support the Windows port, though the 
+  port is still not complete in this release
+- some improved documentation and return_if_fail checks
+- some small bug fixes
+
+D-Bus 1.1.0 (25 May 2007)
+==
+- first release in the development series, unless you need specific 
+  functionality please use the stable releases as API's may change
+  (though we will try hard not to)
+- better eavesdropping support now picks up reply messages for debugging
+- .pc file now lists the directory the daemon is installed into (daemondir)
+- GetAll call added to the properties interface
+- support for message serialization added for use with external transports like
+  TUBES!!!
+- many bugs fixed
