See README +and CONTRIBUTING.md for more details. + +Dependencies: + +• dbus 1.8 was already required, but is more strongly required now: + the workarounds that were used to run continuous integration with dbus + 1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 'trusty' have been removed. (Note that dbus 1.8 + has already reached end-of-life for security support, and newer dbus + stable branches are strongly recommended.) + +• When using Python 3, version 3.5 or later is strongly recommended. + Python 3.4 security support ended in March 2019. No specific + incompatibilities are known, but using dbus-python on Python 3.4 is + no longer tested or supported. + +Enhancements: + +• Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md document, based on Wayland's equivalent + (Simon McVittie, with thanks to Ander Conselvan de Oliveira, + Bryce Harrington, Eric Engestrom, Pekka Paalanen and Daniel Stone + for their contributions to the equivalent file in Wayland) + +• A generated ChangeLog file is no longer included in source tarballs. + Please refer to the git repository at + https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-python for detailed change + history.
