+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.
+ * 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.
