The Avahi team would like to announce the immediate availability of
Avahi 0.5 'Bom Dia'
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.
For more information about Avahi, please visit our home page

Here is a list of highlights / changes in this release
* New Mono bindings, allowing you to use Avahi from
any CLI language such as C#
* Attempt auto-detection of the D-BUS system bus address
* Include a 'cookie' in all published records which allows us
to reliably determine if a service is the same as another.
* Add API to determine if services are local
* Better support for threading with AvahiSimplePoll
* Add some new StringList functions to help binding to it in
other languages
* Various build and run-time bug fixes
Cheers,
The Avahi Team
