[avahi] Announcing Avahi 0.6.32-rc release candidate!

[Trent Lloyd]

Hi Folks,

I have put together a long-overdue release candidate incorporating a
bunch of bug fixes source from various places and also many of the
patches currently being shipped in distributions.

I intend to release this soon, but wanted to give a small window (1-2
weeks) for feedback for any issues with the release candidate,
particularly from any of the distro maintainers.

I am also happy to receive suggestions for any burning patches that
have not made it into this release so far, however there are quite a
few other issues and new features I am currently looking at and hope to
work towards another release soon in any case.

Big thanks to everyone involved with filing bugs or patches!

Avahi 0.6.32-rc
===============

This is largely a bugfix release, non-bug changes are listed
separately.

 * Don't log warnings about invalid packets, commonly triggered by
Windows 10 systems
 * Fix issue with bad packet size estimation, causing probes to
continuously be sent when hosting large numbers of services (Lee, Chun
-Yi)
 * Fix build on Solaris/SmartOS (filio.h issue)
 * Fix build on FreeBSD (PCAP_D_IN issue)
 * Fix debug output with libdaemon >= 0.14
 * avahi_server_set_browse_domains now correctly uses the provided
list, instead of re-using the list from the configuration file
 * Set nl_pid to 0, this will automatically assign the value and
prevent conflicts per netlink(7). (Bug #334)
 * Check for netlink pid=0 (kernel) instead of uid=0, which works
correctly with network & user namespaces.
 * Fix reversed IFA_LOCAL and IFA_ADDRESS checks. (Avahi#355)
 * Don't fail the build on deprecated GTK/GLIB usage
 * Gracefully fail if SO_REUSEPORT is not available
 * Minor Python 3 update for the python ServiceTypeDatabase test usage
of print, should be backwards compatible

Changes

 * GTK3 deprecation fixes including vbox, g_object_unref on GdkCursor,
stock items, composite API
 * New feature: host-name-from-machine-id= to configure the hostname
from the machine-id, defaults to off.
 * Configuration change: Enable IPv6 by default (use-ipv6=yes)
 * Configuration change: Disable publishing HINFO and WORKSTATION
records in the default config (publish-hinfo=no, publish
-workstation=no)
 * Configuration change: Don't browse 0pointer.de and zeroconf.org wide
-area by default (browse-domain=)

This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 32.
