[avahi] Announcing Avahi 0.6.32-rc release candidate!

[Jonathan Bagg]

I had a look at avahi-qt in 0.6.32-rc and it looks like there is still no QT5 support.  I found this patch for QT5 support...

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2014-October/002305.html

If I pass an AvahiPoll from avahi_qt_poll_get() to avahi_client_new() the program will segfault with Qt5 (Qt4 works fine).  I have a Qt class that wraps avahi-client.  In order to get it to work with Qt5, I need to distribute a modified avahi-qt.
