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. + * 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 ============
