| component. |
| |
| * Add a new library libavahi-ui which contains a standard Gtk dialog |
| for browsing for services, and a new tool "zssh" that makes use of |

| 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 a bugfix and portability release. |
| |
| Changes: |
| * Ported to Solaris |
| * avahi-sharp: fix a fatal error in object disposal code |
| * add a few new entries to the servivce type database |
| * fix potential crash when the daemon shuts down |
| * compatibility with newer autoconf versions |
| |
| This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6, 0.6.1, 0.6.2, |
| 0.6.3, 0.6.4, 0.6.5, 0.6.6, 0.6.7, 0.6.9 and 0.6.10. |
| |
| Avahi 0.6.10 |
| ============ |
| |
| 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 |
| provoking a name conflict in perfect accordance with the specs. |
| |
| The buffer overflow is hard to exploit remotely, only local users can |
| become the 'avahi' user. In addition the user is trapped inside a |
| chroot() environment (at least on Linux). |
| |
| Anyhow, our security assessments are possibly as buggy as our |
| code. Hence: |
| |
| *** PLEASE UPDATE YOUR INSTALLATION ASAP! *** |
| |
| Changes: |
| * Fix a buffer overflow in avahi-core |
| * Refuse to process invalid UTF8 data |
| * Automatically reconnect to the DBUS if we're kicked. (Works only if |
| chroot() is disabled) |
| * Don't hit an assert() in the client libs when the Avahi daemon is |
| terminated |
| * Enumerate all service types in the database in the Service |
| Discovery Applet for Gnome |
| * Improve the Bonjour compatibility layer to make it survive |
| GnomeMeeting's broken usage |
| * Deal properly with local non-ASCII hostnames |
| * AMD64 and FreeBSD portability fixes |
| * Filter double DNS server entries in avahi-dnsconfd |
| * Fix a locking bug in avahi-sharp's EntryGroup.AddService() |
| * Ported to Solaris (incomplete) |
| * Add _airport._tcp to our service type database |
| |

| * fix build on bi-arch platforms, on GNU/kFreeBSD, on MIPS and |
| for non-DBUS builds |
| * add new API function avahi_nss_support() and DBUS function |
| IsNSSSupportAvailable() which may be used to detect whether |
| libc's gethostbyname() supports mDNS domain names. |
| * patch avahi-bookmarks to make use of |
| IsNSSSupportAvailable(). avahi-bookmarks will now generate links |
| with real hostnames instead of numeric IP addresses if mDNS support |
| is detected for gethostbyname(). |
| * add init script for Mandriva Linux |
| * speed up avahi_client_free() |
| * man page updates |

| 0.6.3. |
| |
| A quick introduction how to use the new AvahiThreadedPool interface is |
| available in our Wiki: |
| |
| http://avahi.org/wiki/RunningAvahiClientAsThread |
| |
| Avahi 0.6.3 |
| =========== |
| |
| This is a bugfix release. Everyone should update ASAP! |
| |
| * avahi-sharp: make sure to append a trailing NUL byte to all C strings |
| * avahi-core: fix a double free() which occurs when wide area lookups timeout |
| |
| This release is fully compatible with Avahi 0.6, 0.6.1 and 0.6.2. |
| |
| Avahi 0.6.2 |
| =========== |
| |
| This is mostly a bugfix release. |
| |

| http://avahi.org/chrome/site/avahi-trac.png |
| |
| Avahi 0.6.1 |
| =========== |
| |
| This is mostly a bugfix release. |
| |
| * Fix a segfault when shutting down the daemon. Please note that this |
| issue was not security sensitive in any way but had the ugly side |
| effect that the daemon's PID file was not removed properly. |
| * Added init scripts for ArchLinux and FreeBSD |
| * Add DBUS API versioning through the new method GetAPIVersion() |
| * Build the HOWL compatibility library as "libhowl.so", instead of |
| "libavahi-compat-howl.so". This will help distributors to ensure |
| full API/ABI compatibility with HOWL out-of-the-box. |
| * Same for the Bonjour compatibility library |
| * Other fixes |
| |
| We encourage Linux users to update to libdaemon 0.10 since logging |
| does not work from a chroot() environment with older versions. |
| |
| This release is fully API and ABI compatible with Avahi 0.6. This is |
| true for both the C libraries and the DBUS interface. |
| |
| Packagers should read the new documentation file doc/COMPAT-LAYERS |
| which contains some information about maintaining full build system |
| compatibility in addition to ABI/API compatibility. |

| Avahi 0.4, the 'Hyvää päivää' release |
| ===================================== |
| |
| * Renamed the include dirs for the Qt bindings to include the |
| version number, as they may diverge in future. |
| * Fix a critical bug in avahi-daemon triggered by configuring an interface |
| with various DHCP clients when you have no other active addresses which |
| caused avahi-daemon to abort. |
| * Move to using python-gdbm exclusivly for the service type database. |
| * Add support for SUSE |
| * Various fixes to the build system |
| |
| Avahi 0.3, the 'Buenos Días' release |

| - Fix handling of paths not starting with a / |
| - You can now specify the port and IP to bind to |
| - Add option to generate links with hostnames instead of IPs |
| |
| Avahi 0.2, the 'Dzień Dobry' release |
| ==================================== |
| |
| * Unfortunately this release broke the API/ABI of libavahi-client |
| with the following function removals |
| |
| Removal of these functions may affect users of the 0.1 API |
| - avahi_service_resolver_block() |
| |
| The following functions were simply for debugging information |
| and their removal should not affect anyone |
| - avahi_entry_group_get_dbus_path() |
| - avahi_domain_browser_get_dbus_path() |
| - avahi_service_type_browser_get_dbus_path() |
| - avahi_service_browser_get_dbus_path() |
| |
| Note that while the libavahi-client API changed slightly, the DBUS |
| API itself has only had additions and no existing definitions |
| have changed. |
| |
| * avahi-daemon will now ignore local IP addresses with the "link" scope |
| unless it is the only IP address on the interface. |
| * avahi-daemon will no longer fail to start if D-BUS is not |
| available (if configured with enable-dbus=warn) |
| * Fixed a potential crasher when resolving things in libavahi-core. |
| * New example demonstrating integration into glib applications |
| * Addtion of a set of convenience functions for AvahiStringList |
| avahi_string_list_find() |
| avahi_string_list_get_pair() |
| avahi_string_list_add_pair() |
| avahi_string_list_add_pair_arbitrary() |
| * Fixed a typo in avahi-glib.pc that stopped programs using |
| the GLIB api from compiling correctly |
| * A critical bug in the reflector was fixed where it may go into a |
| state of constantly flooding queries out to the network. |
| * Introduced new asynchronous resolver API |
| * libavahi-client gained an API for resolving HostNames and Addresses |
| in addition to the ServiceResolver provided in 0.1 |
| * Added support for Arch and Gentoo linux distributions. |
| * Allowed configuration on non-supported distributions |
| * Fixed a critical bug where you cannot use more than one AvahiClient |
| or use it in an application already using D-BUS |
| * Fixed assembly of empty string lists to RFC compliant TXT records |
| * Added a new service type description database with human |
| understandable descriptions of services with translations. |
| * Fixed various minor memory corruption bugs |
| * Fixed an issue where Avahi might think it encountered a conflict |
| if the process or machine has been suspended |
| * Fixed compilation and runtime issues on 64-bit distributions |
| * ... |
| * PROFIT!!! |
| |
| Avahi 0.1, the "Guten Tag" release |
| ================================== |
| |
| The Avahi team would like to announce the immediate availability of |
| Avahi 0.1 "Guten Tag". |
| |
| Avahi is a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery. |
| It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts |
| running on a local network with no specific configuration. For |
| example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to |
| print to, files to look at and people to talk to. |
| |
| Avahi is designed to be compatible with the mDNS/DNS-SD specification |
| and boasts the following features |
| |
| * Fully open source and freely available under the LGPL |
| * Full IPv4 and IPv6 support |
| * An embeddable mDNS stack |
| * Dynamic adjustment to network reconfiguration |
| * Daemon with DBUS API for desktop applications |
| * C library to interface with the DBUS API |
| * Compatible with other mDNS/DNS-SD implementations such as |
| Howl and Apple Bonjour (previously Rendezvous) |
| * Ability to correctly "reflect" mDNS between two or more LAN segments |
| * Ability to configure DNS servers based on mDNS/DNS-SD published |
| information, a feature that is very usefull on IPv6 |
| which has no other mechanism for this. |
| * Combined with nss-mdns, allows hostname lookup such as |
| 'laptop.local' without the configuration of a DNS server. |
| http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/ |
| * Easy integration into GLIB, GTK other mainloop applications. |
| * Documentation and examples of both developer APIs and utilities. |
| |
| mDNS/DNS-SD is part of a larger set of specifications for easy |
| configuration of networking known as "ZeroConf" |
| (http://www.zeroconf.org/), with the aim of allowing you to plug into |
| a network and instantly be able to interact with its services. |
| |
| Avahi was designed to be a fully free implementation, and is |
| available under the LGPL. Many other implementations of the mDNS/DNS-SD |
| specification were previously non-free, restricting their use in many |
| platforms such as the GNOME desktop and many distributions. |
| |
| While Avahi is a 0.1 release, we feel it is feature complete and |
| available for immediate use, developers can make use of the Avahi |
| client library to provide above mentioned functionality in their |
| programs. |
| |
| We unfortunately do not have a logo yet! We would love if someone |
| could suggest ideas for a logo or even design us one. If you think |
| you can help us out, you can contact us on our mailing list or by |
| emailing Trent Lloyd on lathiat@bur.st. |
| |
