+
+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
+ privileges 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 received.
+ * 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 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
