+The “super digging powers” release.

+The fixes in this release are arguably security fixes, but if they
+affect you, please take this opportunity to rethink how you are
+configuring dbus.

Enhancements:
• Do the Travis-CI build in Docker containers for Ubuntu LTS, Debian

Fixes:
-...
+• Prevent symlink attacks in the nonce-tcp transport on Unix that could
+ allow an attacker to overwrite a file named "nonce", in a directory
+ that the user running dbus-daemon can write, with a random value
+ known only to the user running dbus-daemon. This is unlikely to be
+ exploitable in practice, particularly since the nonce-tcp transport
+ is really only useful on Windows.
+
+ On Unix systems we strongly recommend using only the unix: and systemd:
+ transports, together with EXTERNAL authentication. These are the only
+ transports and authentication mechanisms enabled by default,
+
+ (fd.o #99828, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Avoid symlink attacks in the "embedded tests", which are not enabled
+ by default and should never be enabled in production builds of dbus.
