PID EINS!

Unless we find any major bugs Avahi 0.6 will be released on friday. We ask everyone to do some testing for us:

There have been a bunch of API changes. However, the API is now frozen, so feel free to start porting your application to the new API now.

A rough overview about the many improvements in Avahi 0.6.

Support for (read-only) wide area support. (i.e. DNS-SD over unicast DNS)
Ported to FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwin/MacOSX and to some extent OpenBSD
Compatibility layers for HOWL and Bonjour
Support for registering/browsing abritrary records
Proper support for DNS-SD service subtypes
Native C implementations of the client utilities
Now passes the Bonjour conformance test suite without any exceptions
"Passive observation of failures"
chroot() support
Many traffic reduction improvements
Bugfixes, cleanups
