Deprecate dbus-native

[acrisci]

Thanks for your work creating dbus-native.

I have created a fork of the project called dbus-next with many bugfixes and enhancements that I believe fixes many of the issues on your issue tracker as well as the following:

• fully featured high-level and low-level interfaces
• a more intuitive type system
• comprehensive documentation for the public api
• integration tests for all library features
• used in six electron media players through the mpris-service library.

I was wondering if you would deprecate this library and send your users my way. I am also open to merging the projects.

Thanks.

Happy to see deprecate my version in favour of yours, or merge and move to https://github.com/dbusjs , whatewher you think is better

At current stage, is your code backwards compatible? Do you want to re-use npm name? If yes, whe can 1) mifrate "official" repo to dbusjs org 2) I'll add you publish rights to npm and you publish latest version of your code

Unfortunately no. I rewrote everything except the marshallers.

Do you want to re-use npm name?

I think this would be good because dbus-native has very high visibility.

This sounds good to me.

I guess with enough of communication and major version change this is still possible

With the latest 0.7.1 release of dbus-next, I think I'm ready to make the api stable so I'm ready to take action on this now.
