Haischt) + * Fix dbus_service_browser not setting AVAHI_LOOKUP_RESULT_OUR_OWN. + +This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 15. + +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 ============
