Passing 0 results in similar behaviour as - in 0.5.2 - - * avahi-client/client.h has been split into client.h, publish.h and lookup.h - - * avahi-core/core.h has been split into core.h publish.h lookup.h - - * avahi_client_is_service_local() has been removed. Use instead the special - flags AVAHI_LOOKUP_RESULT_LOCAL and AVAHI_LOOKUP_RESULT_OUR_OWN which are - set when resolving or browsing for services. AVAHI_LOOKUP_RESULT_OUR_OWN is - what most people should use. - - * AVAHI_RESOLVER_TIMEOUT and AVAHI_RESOLVER_NOT_FOUND have been - removed. Instead AVAHI_RESOLVER_FAILURE is used and the exact error - code is available from avahi_client_errno()/avahi_server_errno() - - * The events AVAHI_BROWSER_CACHE_EXHAUSTED, AVAHI_BROWSER_ALL_FOR_NOW - have been introduced. Failures during browsing are now passed as - AVAHI_BROWSER_FAILURE and the error code is made available through - avahi_client_errno()/avahi_server_errno(). - - * The server gained a new state AVAHI_SERVER_FAILURE if some fatal - error happens. The reason can be found in - avahi_server_errno(). Clients can safely ignore this state. - - * You can now update existing records by setting the - AVAHI_PUBLISH_UPDATE flags for add_service() and friends. Consider - using avahi_server_update_service_txt_strlst() if you need to - update only the TXT record for a service. - - * Proper support for service subtypes is now available. Use - avahi_server_add_service_subtype() for that. - - * Entry groups gained the new state AVAHI_ENTRY_GROUP_FAILURE. The - reason is available using - avahi_server_errno()/avahi_client_errno(). - - * Many superfluous functions have been removed from the public API or - entirely. - - * avahi_simple_poll_iterate() has been split up into three - functions. avahi_simple_poll_loop() has been introduced. - - * Some new limits have been introduced: AVAHI_ADDRESS_STR_MAX, - AVAHI_DOMAIN_NAME_MAX, AVAHI_LABEL_MAX - - * The functions avahi_service_name_join() and - avahi_service_name_split() have been introduced. - - * AVAHI_ERR_LOCAL_COLLISION has been renamed to AVAHI_ERR_COLLSION - - * The values of AVAHI_PROTO_xxx have changed, they are no longer - identical to the BSD AF_xxx constants - - * avahi_client_new() now takes an additional flags parameter. Most - interesting flag here is AVAHI_CLIENT_NO_FAIL, which can be used to - create an AvahiClient object even when the daemon is not - running. This is useful to deal with daemon restarts. - - * AvahiClient gained a new state AVAHI_CLIENT_FAILURE. (superseding - AVAHI_CLIENT_DISCONNECTED). If this event happens, - avahi_client_errno() will return the reason. If the error returned - is AVAHI_ERR_DISCONNECTED, the situation where - AVAHI_CLIENT_DISCONNECTED was previously thrown is entered. You may - choose to reconnect in that case by freeing your AvahiClient new - and create a new one with passing AVAHI_CLIENT_NO_FAIL. - - * There's now a client side AvahiRecordBrowser, and - avahi_entry_group_add_record(). - -$Id$ |
