+
+ * 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

+
+Avahi 0.6.14
+============
+
+This release fixes some bugs and includes a new component.
+
+Changes:
+
+ * Add new daemon "avahi-autoipd" which is an implementation of
+ IPv4LL as defined in RFC3927, a technology for assigning link-local IP
+ addresses without DHCP server. The same functionality has been available on
+ Windows under the name APIPA. 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:
+ http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd
+ and of course the man page included in the tarball. For the rationale for
+ adding this program to the Avahi toolset please read this mailing list
+ thread:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2006-September/000863.html
+ * Fix a segfault in the code handling static host name registrations
+ * Add a few new entries to the service type database
+ * s/D-?BUS/D-Bus/g
+ * Documentation updates
+ * Fix service type database building on Solaris
+ * Make use of newer D-Bus APIs
+ * Fix random seed initialization
+ * Install SFTP static service file by default
+ * Other minor code cleanups
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 14.
+
+Please note that this version doesn't compile on NetBSD, patches
+welcome.
+
+Please note that avahi-autoipd is available on Linux only for
+now. Patches welcome. It is recommended to pass --disable-autoipd to
+"configure" on non-Linux operating systems, otherwise the build will
+fail.
+
+Avahi 0.6.13
+============
+
+This release fixes some bugs and includes minor enhancements.
+
+Changes:
+ * Add a new D-Bus method for changing the mDNS host name during
+ runtime. This functionality is only available to members of the
+ UNIX group "netdev", which is the same access group that is
+ enforced by GNOME's NetworkManager daemon. Since NM will probably
+ be the most prominent user of this new method, we decided to limit
+ access to the same group. The access group can be set by passing
+ --with-avahi-priv-access-group= to "configure". If you need more
+ sophisticated access control you can freely edit
+ /etc/dbus/system.d/avahi-dbus.conf.
+ * Add a new utility "avahi-set-host-name" which is a command line
+ wrapper around the aforementioned SetHostName() method.
+ * Bonjour API compatibility library:
+ * Implement DNSServiceUpdateRecord()
+ * Allow passing NULL as callback function for
+ DNSServiceRegister()
+ * Implement subtype registration in DNSServiceRegister() in a
+ way that is compatible with Bonjour.
+ * Update to newer copy of dns_sd.h
+ * If the host name changes update names of static services wich
+ contain wildcards.
+ * Don't build documentation about embedding the Avahi mDNS stack into
+ other programs by default. This is a feature used only by embedded
+ developers. Pass --enable-core-docs to "configure" to enable
+ building these docs, like in Avahi <= 0.6.12.
+ * Build Qt documentation only when Qt support is enabled in
+ the configuration. Same for GLib.
+ * Change algorithm used to find a new host name on conflict. In
+ Avahi <= 0.6.12 a conflicting host name of "foobar" would be
+ changed to the new name "foobar2". With 0.6.13 "foobar-2" will be
+ picked instead. This follows Bonjour's behaviour and has the
+ advantage not confusing people with regular host names ending in
+ digits.
+ * Don't disable all static services when SIGHUP is recieved.
+ * Fix build when Avahi is configured without Gtk+ but with Python
+ support
+ * Fix build on MacOS X
+ * Support using Solaris DBM instead of gdbm for the service type
+ database. The latter is still recommended
+ * Minor other fixes and documentation updates
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 13.
+
+Avahi 0.6.12
+============
+
+This is a bugfix and general cleanups release.
+
+Changes:
+ * Compatibility with newer D-Bus releases (0.9x)
+ * Compatibility with DBUS builds with --disable-checks
+ * Fix an error in the DBUS event loop wrapping which
+ caused the avahi client libraries to dispatch some events
+ too late when used with D-BUS 0.62 and newer.
+ * avahi-daemon: fix a minor memory leak in the DBUS code.
+ * avahi-glib: some GLIB adapter cleanups
+ * avahi-dnsconfd: fix segfault when passing an invalid command
+ line option
+ * avahi-test: portability patches for Solaris
+ * avahi-browse: flush STDOUT after each line, making it useful
+ in shell scripts.
+ * update service type database
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 12.
+
+Avahi 0.6.11
+============
+
+This is a bugfix and portability release.
+
+Changes:
+ * Ported to Solaris
+ * avahi-sharp: fix a fatal error in object disposal code
+ * add a few new entries to the servivce type database
+ * fix potential crash when the daemon shuts down
+ * compatibility with newer autoconf versions
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6, 0.6.1, 0.6.2,
+0.6.3, 0.6.4, 0.6.5, 0.6.6, 0.6.7, 0.6.9 and 0.6.10.
+
+Avahi 0.6.10
+============
+
+This is mostly a bugfix release. Two of the bugs fixed are security
+sensitive: a remote denial-of-service vulnerability and a buffer
+overflow that can allow local users to become the 'avahi' user. We do
+not consider either of them major security threats.
+
+The DoS vulnerability can be exploited from a local network only. It
+is not worth much, though, since mDNS can easily be flooded with
+nonsense anyway. It is easy to kick remote mDNS/DNS-SD services by
+provoking a name conflict in perfect accordance with the specs.
+
+The buffer overflow is hard to exploit remotely, only local users can
+become the 'avahi' user. In addition the user is trapped inside a
+chroot() environment (at least on Linux).
+
+Anyhow, our security assessments are possibly as buggy as our
+code. Hence:
+
+ *** PLEASE UPDATE YOUR INSTALLATION ASAP! ***
+
+Changes:
+ * Fix a buffer overflow in avahi-core
+ * Refuse to process invalid UTF8 data
+ * Automatically reconnect to the DBUS if we're kicked. (Works only if
+ chroot() is disabled)
+ * Don't hit an assert() in the client libs when the Avahi daemon is
+ terminated
+ * Enumerate all service types in the database in the Service
+ Discovery Applet for Gnome
+ * Improve the Bonjour compatibility layer to make it survive
+ GnomeMeeting's broken usage
+ * Deal properly with local non-ASCII hostnames
+ * AMD64 and FreeBSD portability fixes
+ * Filter double DNS server entries in avahi-dnsconfd
+ * Fix a locking bug in avahi-sharp's EntryGroup.AddService()
+ * Ported to Solaris (incomplete)
+ * Add _airport._tcp to our service type database
+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6, 0.6.1, 0.6.2,
+0.6.3, 0.6.4, 0.6.5, 0.6.6, 0.6.7, 0.6.8 and 0.6.9.

+
+This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6, 0.6.1, 0.6.2,
+0.6.3, 0.6.4, 0.6.5, 0.6.6 and 0.6.7.
+

+ * Work around kernel bugs regarding multicast group membership
+ * ia64 portability fixes
+ * Don't require X11 to run avahi-bookmarks
+ * API: Return AVAHI_ERR_IS_EMPTY when the user tries to commit an

+ * Improved Slackware and Fedora suppport
+

+Avahi 0.6.5
+===========
+
+This release fixes some bugs and adds a new API function.
+
+ * avahi-browse: properly show services that are removed from the
+ network
+ * fix build on bi-arch platforms, on GNU/kFreeBSD, on MIPS and
+ for non-DBUS builds
+ * add new API function avahi_nss_support() and DBUS function
+ IsNSSSupportAvailable() which may be used to detect whether
+ libc's gethostbyname() supports mDNS domain names.
+ * patch avahi-bookmarks to make use of
+ IsNSSSupportAvailable(). avahi-bookmarks will now generate links
+ with real hostnames instead of numeric IP addresses if mDNS support
+ is detected for gethostbyname().
+ * add init script for Mandriva Linux
+ * speed up avahi_client_free()
+ * man page updates
+ * install missing header thread-watch.h
+ * fix avahi-bookmarks to work with certain twisted versions
+ * fix record updating
