Avahi 0.6.16
============

This is a bugfix release, it fixes one DoS (100% CPU Usage) and a
regression from the last release

 * Revert previous patch to check nlmsg_pid as it is bogus and breaks in
   many cases, notably when using NetworkManager (Closes: #72)
 * Replace with new SO_PASSCRED-based check of the sending UID, which
   seems to work better (Closes: #72)
 * Handle some errors in libdns_sd more gracefully the way the real
   libdns_sd does (Closes: #64)
 * Apply fix for Linux 2.6.19+ where IFA_RTA / IFLA_RTA is no longer
   defined (Closes: #86)
 * Fix doxygen comments for avahi watch, thanks to tedp (Closes: #77)
 * Make d-bus version detection work for >= 1.0 (Closes: #71)
 * Dont dbus_connection_close on shared dbus connections (Closes: #68)
 * Fix potential endless loop in dns label unpacking code (Closes: #84)
 * Fix bogus assertion in client-publish-service.c example
 * Mild fix to some doxygen docs for avahi-common/address.h
 * Fix passing in custom priviledged group (previously ignored setting)
   (Closes: #85)
