dbus 1.13.8 (UNRELEASED)
========================
+dbus version control is now hosted on freedesktop.org's Gitlab
+installation, and bug reports and feature requests have switched from
+Bugzilla bugs (indicated by "fd.o #nnn") to Gitlab issues ("dbus#nnn")
+and merge requests ("dbus!nnn"). See README and CONTRIBUTING.md for
+more details.
+
Enhancements:
+• Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md to reflect the current setup
+ (dbus!8, Simon McVittie)
+
• Tarball releases no longer contain pre-2007 changelogs and are now
compressed with xz, so they should be somewhat smaller
(fd.o #107630; Francesco Turco, Simon McVittie)

• Allow --enable-relocation in combination with absolute paths for
--exec-prefix, --libdir (fd.o #107662, Simon McVittie)
+• Improve CMake build system parity with Autotools
+ (dbus#57, dbus#117, dbus#193, dbus#227; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
+
Fixes:
• Remove __attribute__((__malloc__)) attribute on dbus_realloc(),
which does not meet the criteria for that attribute in gcc 4.7+,
potentially leading to miscompilation (fd.o #107741, Simon McVittie)
+• Parse section/group names in .service files according to the syntax
+ from the Desktop Entry Specification:
+ · reject control characters and non-ASCII in section/group names
+ · backslash escapes are not interpreted in section/group names
+ (dbus#208; David King, Simon McVittie)
+
• Fix some small O(1) memory leaks (fd.o #107320, Simon McVittie)
+• Fix build warnings with recent gcc (dbus#208, dbus#225; David King)
+
+• Fix build warnings without libX11 (dbus#228, Simon McVittie)
+
Tests and CI:
• Add Travis-CI builds for 64-bit Windows using mingw-w64
