+D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
+==
+
+ • Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
+   crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
+   only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
+   nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
+   issue.
+ • OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
+ • Windows autolaunch improvements.
+ • Various bug fixes.
+
+D-Bus 1.4.0 (6 Sep 2010)
+==
+ - systemd hookup
+
+D-Bus 1.3.1 (23 June 2010)
+==
+ - New standardized PropertiesChanged signal in the properties interface
+ - Various portability fixes, in particular to Windows platforms
+ - Support forking bus services, for compatibility
+
+D-Bus 1.3.0 (29 July 2009)
+==
+ - ability for dbus-send to send to any bus (--address)
+ - file descriptor passing on Unix socket transports
+ - use of GCC atomic intrinsics for better processor support
+   (requires -march=i486 or above for x86 compilation)
+ - thread-safe FD_CLOEXEC setting on recent Linux kernels (2.6.24-27 and up)
+   and glibc (2.9 for pipe2 and 2.10 for accept4)
+ - feature negotiation in the bus daemon

+-----------------------------------------
+Windows port of the freedesktop.org D-Bus
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Features and completeness
+-------------------------
+The windows port of dbus provides the dbus-1 library and mostly
+applications which are already available on unix. These applications
+are: dbus-daemon, dbus-launch, dbus-monitor and dbus-send.
+DBus comes with a test suite which is used on unix to guarantate
+production quality and this test suite runs mostly. There are some
+test not running yet and there is help needed to get them running.
+
+
+Building
+--------
+DBus could be build on windows using automake or cmake. See the
+file README for more informations.
+Special cmake build instructions could be found in cmake/readme-cmake.txt
+
+
+windbus and dbus4win Ports
+--------------------------
+The Windows ports from the windbus and dbus4win projects has been merged
+into the freedesktop git master branch, as applicable. The spec has been
+updated with windows specific stuff.
+
+
+Tests
+-----
+ - dbus library check
+    bin\dbus-test.exe <build-root>\test\data
+
+ - bus daemon check
+    bin\bus-test.exe <build-root>\test\data
+
+ - check available names
+    bin\test_names.exe
+
+ - check if dbus-daemon is accessable
+    bin\dbus-send.exe --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames method return sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.4 array [ string "org.freedesktop.DBus"string ":1.4"]
+
+ - start session dbus-daemon
+    either by running
+        bin\dbus-launch
+    or
+        start bin\dbus-daemon --session
+
+    Before running these commands you may execute
+        set DBUS_VERBOSE=1
+    for getting debug infos
+
+
+ - call function registerd in dbus
+    bin\dbus-send.exe  --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --print-reply --type=method_call / org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:org.freedesktop.DBus.TestSuiteEchoService  uint32:455 method return sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.8 uint32 2
+
+    note: When building with the Visual C++ IDE the *.exe files are in
+          the bin/Debug and bin/Release folder, not in the bin folder.

+FAQ
+---
+
+- How far is WinDBus from being usable for production ?
+
+  dbus comes with a test suite which is used on unix to guarantate
+  production quality and this test suite runs mostly. There are some
+  test not running and we need help to get them running.
+  In the pratice I and some other people are using dbus for at least more
+  than four years in conjunction with kde on windows without any problems.
+
+- On UNIX D-Bus uses UNIX sockets to communicate (correct me if I'm wrong).
+  What is used on Windows ?
+
+  tcp sockets, there are some efforts to get named pipe running, but some
+  design problems of the win32 api, we are not able to solve without
+  bigger changes to the dbus code base let us stop this effort.
+
+- Do you have any clue if dbus-win32 can run in a Windows CE environment?
+
+  dbus has been ported to wince, see README.wince for more informations
+
+- Do you know if the C++ binding made by OpenWengo will be easily portable to Windows?
+
+  The OpenWengo dbus-c++ binding has been ported to windows see in WinDBus svn
+  (http://sf.net/projects/windbus)
+  The related test applicationa are running well.
+
+
+TODO
+----
+
+Oktober 2010:
+
+- the code wrapped with DBUS_WIN_FIXME should be inspected if it required for windows
+
+- create a dbus setup installer
+
+- implement system bus and system bus service starter
+  see http://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/windbus/trunk/bus/bus-service-win.c
+  for a starting point
+
+- implement a real login session bus
+  The scope parameter of the autolaunch meta protocol could be extended to support user
+  specific session busses (like already done with the amarok bundled dbus which use a
+  shared memory area named "DBusDaemonAddressInfo:<username>".
+  Also the dbus installer should start a session bus on user login.
