Dbus-cxx is making moves!  It is high time that we move from Sourceforge on to Github now.  

The new website can be seen here: https://dbus-cxx.github.io/
The new code location is here: https://github.com/dbus-cxx/dbus-cxx

With this, I hope to allow for easier contributions from community members and reach a wider audience.

The move to Github also brings some new features to dbus-cxx: mainly a completely re-written dbus-cxx-xml2cpp which works!  probably!  
The code is all there and it should now generate code correctly, but my testing up until this point has been to simply look at the code it generates and not yet compile it.  It uses my new library libcppgenerate(https://github.com/rm5248/libcppgenerate), which allows for creation of C++ classes through a fluent/builder interface.  Is this overkill? Probably.  Is it awesome? Yes.

Builds are still build on Jenkins as before: https://jenkins.rm5248.com/job/dbus-cxx/
Pre-built debian packages may be found on my APT repo as well: http://apt.rm5248.com/

For those of you who feel so inclined to provide some help, there are plenty of things that must now be updated within the library for the move, mostly a documentation update to remove references to the old Sourceforge site.  On the code side, the new CMake build system also needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it works appropriately.  There are currently no static builds of the library, due to a current limitation in the CMake build which should be fixed shortly.
