+
+ * 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
+   libdns_sd does (Closes: #64)
+ * Apply fix for Linux 2.6.19+ where IFA_RTA / IFLA_RTA is no longer
+   defined (Closes: #86)
+ * Fix doxygen comments for avahi watch, thanks to tedp (Closes: #77)

 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)
