I am proud to announce the release of D-Bus 0.92, the “Hanging By A Thread” release. This release has multiple improvements in the threading subsystem including proper thread locking in pending calls and the move from enforcing early thread initialization to the more flexible initialize before the second thread is started semantics. There are also a large number of bug fixes that went into this release.

As of now there are only a few more blocker bugs and TODO items before we can reach the all important 1.0 milestone. In particular the auditing of the todo and fixme comments in the code is one of the more important parts that can hold us back. It would be of great help if we could get some eyes on these sections and see if we can get some patches or just punt ones that aren’t all that important.

So have fun, download it, bang on it and join us on #dbus on freenode.net to how you can help to accelerate the final release and get your name in the 1.0 credits.

As always:
