D-Bus 1.4.10 (UNRELEASED)
==
-...
+Notes for distributors:
+
+ This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing
+ to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their
+ toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:
+
+ ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
+
+ or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper.
+
+Changes:
+
+ • Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
+ it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie)
D-Bus 1.4.8 (2011-04-08)
