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. + Avahi 0.6.12 ============ -- cgit
