Bugzilla Bug 159306

December 2006

* 2006-12-29: We have released Avahi 0.6.16! This is a bugfix release, it fixes
1 security sensitive bug (100% CPU DoS) and 1 regression from the last release.
All users are recommended to upgrade ASAP, especially given the DoS and
regression which can often cause Avahi not to work correctly.

I'm away from my computer equipment until the evening of the 1st of January. It
should be a straight forward version bump, the dbus-fixes patch can be dropped.
If someone wants to commit the bump before I'm back at home, go ahead.

I talked to Sven and bumped to 0.6.16, also ppc stable

Sven told me that 0.6.16.1 or 0.6.17 is probably to be released on short
notice, we might want to wait with calling arches for stabling.

While this is till open, could you please make ebuild to install the NEWS file?
:)

Tobias, any news on this one?

Priit, security bugs are not feature requests, please open a new bug.

> Tobias, any news on this one?

Sven is back again, i was just proxying. But as far as i know there aren't
news.

Do we want to wait for the upcoming release or mark 0.6.16 stable.

The release of 0.6.17 is planned for today.

The release of 0.6.17 has been deferred another week. I'm about to pull some
fixes from upstream and bump to -r1 including the fixes.

OK, 0.6.16-r1 is in the tree.

Hello teams, you know the deal.
0.6.16-r1

ppc is very fast

Marked net-dns/avahi-0.6.16-r1 stable for HPPA.

ppc64 stable
