I have just released new versions of a few of my packages:
- Avahi 0.6.18: The most interesting change is probably
the addition of avahi-ui, our new GTK library which implements a
standard dialog for browsing for Avahi services. A quick (albeit slightly out-of-date)
introduction into avahi-ui (including screenshots) may be found in this old blog
story of mine. If you are a developer of a GNOME application that acts as network
client in some way, please consider adding support for avahi-ui to your project. Examples where adding support for avahi-ui makes sense are:
- Mail applications such as Evolution may use it to browse for POP3, POP3S, IMAP, IMAPS and SMTP servers.
- VNC applications may use it to browse for VNC/RFB servers
- Database clients such as Glom may use it to browse for PostrgreSQL servers
- FTP clients may use it to browse for FTP servers
- RSS readers may use it to browse for local RSS feeds
- And lots of others
- mod_dnssd 0.5: Mostly an update for Apache 2.2
- mod_mime_xattr 0.4: dito
