GSSDP 0.7, GUPnP 0.13, GUPnP AV 0.5, GUPnP Tools 0.8 & GUPnP Vala 0.6

GSSDP 0.7 released!

Changes in this release:

- Join the multicast group on the specified interface.
- Put the message src timeout in the specified GMainContext.
- "host-ip" property moved from GUPnPContext to parent GSSDPClient.
- Use inet_aton instead of inet_addr and handle the error from it.
- gssdp-device-sniffer ported to GtkBuilder.
- Version-independent target match. This makes client forward and backward
compatible with resources that implement different version of the specs than
the client.
- Version-independent M-SEARCH response. This has the same effect as above but
only the other way around.
- GSSDPClient now binds to interface rather than IP.
- No need to find the default route.
- Add "active" property to GSSDPClient.
- Fix pkg-config paths.
- Add basic .gitignore.
- Other minor/internal changes.

Bugs fixed:

1621 - new gssdp timeout not added to the specific maincontext
1570 - gupnp doesn't set the pkgconfig lib dir correctly in 64 bit env

Dependencies dropped:

- libglade

GUPnP 0.13 released!

Changes since 0.12.8:

- Print reason when fail to fetch description doc
- Support for dynamic/multiple networks through a new class, ContextManager.
This class creates/destroys new context as new network interfaces go up/down.
It also provides two convenient methods to take care of control point and
device reference managment for you. Currently we have two implementations of
context manager:
* unix: The static but guaranteed to work on Unix, implementation. This is the
default if none chosen at configure-time.
* network-manager: A NetworkManager based implementation.
- Idle handlers should use the assigned GMainContext.
- Gracefully handle 'no root element in description' scenerio.
- "host-ip" property moved from GUPnPContext to parent GSSDPClient.
- ControlPoint set itself inactive before getting disposed.
- New function to retrieve the capabilities of a DLNA device as announced in
the device description.
- New function to retrieve the content of arbitrary elements in the device
description.
- Fixed a crash that happens when service-proxy goes down before subscribtion to
it completes.
- Correct condition for SID being NULL.
- Don't create redundant proxies.
- Must not announce earlier versions of resources. This is strictly forbidden
according to the latest UPnP specs. Instead GSSDP now handles M-SEARCH
requests independent of version requested.
- Free app developer from hosting of description documents.
- New API to get SoupMessage associated with ServiceAction.
- Handle the SOAPAction header being missing.
- Fixed strrchr result checking.
- Provide and use a wrapper class for xmlDoc objects, GUPnPXMLDoc that is a
first-class gobject.
- New domains for XML errors.
- Many other minor fixes.

Bugs fixed:

1626 - Print reason when fail to fetch description doc
1769 - audit issues
1760 - missing/invalid SOAPAction header crashes gupnp
1705 - Provide a public API to get information about a GUPnPServiceAction's HTTP
request

Dependencies changed:

- gssdp >= 0.7

GUPnP AV 0.5 released!

Changes in this release:

- New completely object-oriented, much simpler and consistent API:
* GUPnPDIDLLiteResource & GUPnPDIDLLiteObject are now first-class GObjects.
* Convert the helper methods to read props and their attributes from DIDL-Lite
xml node into new first-class objects with writable properties:
- GUPnPDIDLLiteObject
- GUPnPDIDLLiteItem
- GUPnPDIDLLiteContainer
* GUPnPDIDLLiteObject provides a convenient method to get the compatible
resource given a SinkProtocolInfo string.
* A new class for dealing with protocolInfo fields: GUPnPProtocolInfo.
* A new class for dealing with DIDL-Lite descriptors: GUPnPDIDLLiteDescriptor.
* GUPnPDIDLLiteWriter now provides a much simpler API that is consistent with
rest of the GUPnP AV API.
* GUPnPDIDLLiteWriter now handles filtering of DIDL-Lite XML.
* Correct possible values of GUPnPDLNAFlags.
* Replace GUPnPDIDLLiteParserObjectCallback by following signals:
- object-available
- container-available
- item-available
- New Error domain for protocol related errors.
- Workaround for broken printf() implementations.
- Bitrate is in bytes/second and not bits/second.
- Enable DLL on windows.

Dependencies changed:

- gupnp >= 0.13

Bug fixes in this release:

1729 - bitrate checks in gupnp-dlna.c look wrong.
1579 - Minor fixes to enable dynamic library on windows

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
