+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
+ numbers.
+ * Don't disable all static services when SIGHUP is recieved.
+ * Fix build when Avahi is configured without Gtk+ but with Python
+ support
+ * 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
+
