* Closely related to this, the sd-event.h API gained two new calls
sd_event_source_send_child_signal() (for sending a signal to a
watched process) and sd_event_source_get_child_process_own() (for
- marking a process so that it is killed implicitly whenever the event
- source watching it is freed).

- * sd-bus gained a new API call sd_bus_message_sensitive() for marking a
- D-Bus message object as "sensitive". Objects that are marked that way
- are erased from memory when they are freed. This concept is intended
- to be used for messages that contain security sensitive data that
- should be erased after use. A new flag SD_BUS_VTABLE_SENSITIVE has
- been introduced as well that allows marking method calls in sd-bus
- vtables like this, so that this new message flag is implicitly set
- for incoming and outgoing messages of specific methods.
