+Avahi 0.6.21
+============
+
+This is an important bugfix release.
+
+ * Make avahi-autoipd actually produce correct ARP packets
+ (Identified and patched by Pauline Yeung)
+ * Add FreeBSD kqueue support for watching /etc/avahi/services
+ (Contributed by Marcus Clarke)
+ * Use search domain from /etc/resolv.conf as additional browse
+ domains.
+ * No longer return a conflict error when two local applications
+ register identical RRs.
+ * Properly find alternative service/host names for very long names
+ * DNS name compression fix (Sjoerd Simons)
+ * Fedora init script order fix
+ * Several fixes to make gcc produces less warnings
+ * Minor documentation and build fixes
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 21.
+
+Avahi 0.6.20
+============
+
+This is a bugfix release and contains a fix for a low risk security
+vulnerability.
+
+ * Fix a local DoS vulnerability, where an assert() could be hit by
+ passing empty TXT data over D-Bus to the Avahi daemon. (Low Risk)
+ * Solaris/dbm portability fixes
+ * Close all open file descriptors when daemonizing. Is generally
+ safer and fixes a few issues with broken init systems of several
+ distributions.
+ * avahi-autoipd: allow passing the path of the action script on the
+ command line.
+ * Several minor build fixes and other cleanups
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 20.

+Avahi 0.6.19
+============
+
+This is a bugfix release, but also adds a new component "avahi-ui-sharp".
+
+ * Rename zssh/zvnc to bssh/bvnc to avoid a name collision with another
+ free software tool, on request of the Debian developers. I hope
+ this name change early in the life of bssh/bvnc won't be too
+ difficult to handle by the distributors.
+ * Add man page for bssh/bvnc
+ * avahi-ui: fix segfault when browsing in empty domains
+ * avahi-ui: allow GTK_RESPONSE_OK, _YES and _APPLY besides _ACCEPT as

+ range in avahi-autoipd, as required by RC3927 section 2.1
+ * No longer publish the Avahi service identification cookie anymore
+ by default. It was a bad idea in the first place. A better
+ replacement will hopefully be made available in Avahi eventually.
+ * Properly set umask before writing to /var/lib/avahi-autoipd
+ * Update .deskop files to work around KDE menu issue
+ * Various build fixes and other minor fixes and updates
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 19.

+============
+
+This is a bugfix release, adds a few new features and includes a new
+component.
+
+ * Add a new library libavahi-ui which contains a standard Gtk dialog
+ for browsing for services, and a new tool "zssh" that makes use of
+ it, which allows browsing for SSH and VNC servers and starts ssh or
+ xvncviewer if one item is selected.
+ * avahi-autoipd has been ported to FreeBSD (original patch from Bruce M Simpson)
+ * Improve OpenBSD, Solaris, MacOS X compatibility
+ * Linux inotify support for monitoring /etc/avahi/services/ and

+ * Improve compatibility with Bonjour's libdns_sd (patch from Chris Rivera)
+ * Various updates to the service type database (based on patches from uws)
+ * Fix a local DoS vulnerability (very low priority, all you can do is

+from the last release
+
+ * Revert previous patch to check nlmsg_pid as it is bogus and breaks in
+ many cases, notably when using NetworkManager (Closes: #72)
+ * Replace with new SO_PASSCRED-based check of the sending UID, which
+ seems to work better (Closes: #72)
+ * Handle some errors in libdns_sd more gracefully the way the real

Avahi 0.6.14
============
Changes:
* Add new daemon "avahi-autoipd" which is an implementation of
- IPv4LL as defined in RFC3927. While it is not the first
- implemenatation of this technology for Free operating systems it
- is clearly the most powerful and hopefully even the most
- secure. (Because it chroot()s and drops priviliges and suchlike)
- For more information, especially about packaging this new tool for
- distributions, please make sure to read:
+ IPv4LL as defined in RFC3927, a technology for assigning link-local IP
