+D-Bus 1.7.0 (2013-02-22)
+==
+
+The "Disingenuous Assertions" release.
+
+This is a new development release, starting the 1.7.x branch. D-Bus 1.6
+remains the recommended version for long-term-supported distributions
+or the upcoming GNOME 3.8 release.
+
+Build-time configuration changes:
+
+• The --with-dbus-session-bus-default-address configure option is no longer
+  supported. Use the new --with-dbus-session-bus-connect-address and
+  --with-dbus-session-bus-listen-address options instead. On Windows, you
+  usually want them to have the same argument; on Unix, the defaults are
+  usually correct.
+
+• Similarly, the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS CMake variable is no longer
+  supported; use the new DBUS_SESSION_BUS_LISTEN_ADDRESS and
+  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_CONNECT_ADDRESS variables instead.
+
+• cmake/cross-compile.sh has been removed. Instead, please use a
+  cross-toolchain file (-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE) as documented at
+  <http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling>; or use Autotools
+  as documented in "info automake Cross-Compilation", and set
+  PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately.
+
+Requirements:
+
+• Man pages now require xmlto (or either xmlto or meinproc, if using CMake).
+• man2html is no longer used.
+
+Enhancements:
+
+• D-Bus Specification 0.20
+  · actually say that /org/freedesktop/DBus is the object that
+    implements o.fd.DBus (fd.o #51865, Colin Walters)
+  · various reorganisation for better clarity (fd.o #38252, Simon McVittie)
+  · stop claiming that all basic types work just like INT32 (strings don't!)
+
+• The "source code" for the man pages is now Docbook XML, eliminating
+  the outdated duplicate copies used when building with CMake.
+  (fd.o #59805; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
+Fixes:
+
+• In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the system
+  bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)
+
+• Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless warnings
+  with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932, Arun Raghavan)
+
+• Merge <servicehelper> from system-local.conf if necessary (fd.o #51560,
+  Krzysztof Konopko)
+
+• Under CMake, prefer xmlto over meinproc (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Stop duplicating CMake's own logic to find libexpat
+  (fd.o #59733, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Don't assume CMake host and build system are the same (fd.o #59733,
+  Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Avoid deprecation warnings for GLib 2.35 (fd.o #59971, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Unix-specific:
+  · Check for functions in libpthread correctly, fixing compilation on
+    (at least) OpenBSD (fd.o #47239, Simon)
+  · Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927,
+    Michel HERMIER)
+  · Update sd-daemon.[ch] from systemd (fd.o #60681)
+  · Add partial support for QNX (fd.o #60339, fd.o #61176; Matt Fischer)
+
+• Windows-specific:
+  · The default session bus listening and connecting address is now
+    "autolaunch:", which makes D-Bus on Windows interoperate with itself
+    and GDBus "out of the box". Use the configure options and cmake variables
+    described above if you require a different autolaunch scope.
+    (fd.o #38201, Simon McVittie)
+  · Avoid a CMake warning under Cygwin (fd.o #59401, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
+  Ralf Habacker)
+
