The first official release of D-Bus, Freedesktop.org's inter-process messaging system, is out. The system is being adopted in KDE 4 as a replacement for KDE 3's DCOP, and a D-Bus module is also present in Qt 4.2 styled in a way to make it familiar to KDE programmers familiar with DCOP. The source for D-Bus itself can be downloaded here; bindings are available for GLib (GTK), Python, Java, Qt 4 (bundled with 4.2), Perl, C++, Pascal, Qt 3 and .NET. The system presently works on all Unix platforms including Mac OS X; there is a Windows port here which is expected to be merged with the official D-Bus.
