 dbus 1.13.10 (UNRELEASED)
 =========================
 
+Dependencies:
+
+• GLib >= 2.38 is required if full test coverage is enabled
+  (reduced from 2.40 in dbus 1.12.x.)
+
 Deprecations:
 
 • Third-party software should install default dbus policies for the system
@@ -16,8 +21,58 @@ Deprecations:
 
 • A similar pattern applies to the session bus policies in session.d.
 
+Enhancements:
+
+• Raise soft fd limit to match hard limit, even if unprivileged.
+  This makes session buses with many clients, or with clients that make
+  heavy use of fd-passing, less likely to suffer from fd exhaustion.
+  (dbus!103, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Embedded/special-purpose builds of dbus can now be configured with
+  --disable-traditional-activation, to disable services being launched
+  as a subprocess of the dbus-daemon. This allows the system dbus-daemon
+  to be run in a more tightly restricted security profile (an example
+  "drop-in" for systemd is provided).
+
+  If systemd support is enabled, then services with a SystemdService
+  configured can still be activated in these builds, via IPC to systemd.
+  Otherwise, services will not be activatable at all.
+
+  Please note that this option is not suitable for general-purpose
+  Linux distributions that are intended to support running third-party
+  D-Bus services.
+

+
+• Move CMake build system to top level, matching normal practice for
+  CMake projects (dbus!84, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Reformat CMake files (dbus#252, dbus!82, dbus!91; Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Avoid GLib 2.40 dependencies (dbus!79, Ralf Habacker)
+
+• Officially deprecate packaged XML policies in ${sysconfdir}, and
+  document how to install system services correctly
+  (dbus!76, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add AddressSanitizer and ubsan support (dbus!57, Simon McVittie)
+
 Fixes:
 
+• If a privileged dbus-daemon has a hard fd limit greater than 64K, don't
+  reduce it to 64K, ensuring that we can put back the original fd limits
+  when carrying out traditional (non-systemd) activation. This fixes a
+  regression with systemd >= 240 in which system services inherited
+  dbus-daemon's hard and soft limit of 64K fds, instead of the intended
+  soft limit of 1K and hard limit of 512K or 1M.

+• Fix build failures caused by an AX_CODE_COVERAGE API change in newer
+  autoconf-archive versions (dbus#249, dbus!88; Simon McVittie)
+
+• Fix build failures with newer autoconf-archive versions that include
+  AX_-prefixed shell variable names (dbus#249, dbus!86; Simon McVittie)
+
 • Avoid possible memory corruption in certain DBusHashTableIter use
   patterns, which in practice were never used (dbus!44, Simon McVittie)
