D=Bus API change: The "properties" argument was removed from the
"ClientAdded" signal on interface "se.bsnet.fukt.Mandos".  All code in
both "mandos" and "mandos-monitor" changed to reflect this.

          places where F is a file object.

                           "byte_arrays" option.

  (ForkingMixInWithPipe): Renamed to "ForkingMixInWithPipes" (all

  (IPv6_TCPServer.handle_ipc): Take an additional "reply_fd" argument
                               (all callers changed).  Close the reply
                               pipe when the child data pipe is
                               closed.  New "GETATTR" IPC method; will
                               pickle client attribute and send it
                               over the reply pipe FD.
  (MandosDBusService.ClientAdded): Removed "properties" argument.  All
                                   emitters changed.
