I have just released new versions of a few of my packages:

• Avahi 0.6.18 (http://avahi.org/): 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 A quick (albeit slightly out-of-date) introduction into avahi-ui (including screenshots) may be found in this old blog story (http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahify-your-app.html) of mine.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

There are lots of other small and not so small changes in Avahi 0.6.18.

• mod_dnssd 0.5 (http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/mod_dnssd/): Mostly an update for Apache 2.2

• mod_mime_xattr 0.4 (http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/mod_mime_xattr/): dito
