AVAHI news on http://avahi.org/
2015-10-10: We have a release candidate, ​0.6.32-rc! This is mostly a bugfix release, see the ​Change Log. This is intended for release soon, please file any issues you notice through

Changelog:
Avahi 0.6.32-rc
===============

This is largely a bugfix release, non-bug changes are listed separately.

 * Don't log warnings about invalid packets, commonly triggered by Windows 10 systems
 * Fix issue with bad packet size estimation, causing probes to continuously be sent when hosting large numbers of services (Lee, Chun-Yi)
 * Fix build on Solaris/SmartOS (filio.h issue)
 * Fix build on FreeBSD (PCAP_D_IN issue)
 * Fix debug output with libdaemon >= 0.14
 * avahi_server_set_browse_domains now correctly uses the provided list, instead of re-using the list from the configuration file
 * Set nl_pid to 0, this will automatically assign the value and prevent conflicts per netlink(7). (Bug #334)
 * Check for netlink pid=0 (kernel) instead of uid=0, which works correctly with network & user namespaces.
 * Fix reversed IFA_LOCAL and IFA_ADDRESS checks. (Avahi#355)
 * Don't fail the build on deprecated GTK/GLIB usage
 * Gracefully fail if SO_REUSEPORT is not available
 * Minor Python 3 update for the python ServiceTypeDatabase test usage of print, should be backwards compatible

Changes

 * GTK3 deprecation fixes including vbox, g_object_unref on GdkCursor, stock items, composite API
 * New feature: host-name-from-machine-id= to configure the hostname from the machine-id, defaults to off.
 * Configuration change: Enable IPv6 by default (use-ipv6=yes)
 * Configuration change: Disable publishing HINFO and WORKSTATION records in the default config (publish-hinfo=no, publish-workstation=no)
 * Configuration change: Don't browse 0pointer.de and zeroconf.org wide-area by default (browse-domain=)

This release is backwards compatible with Avahi 0.6.x with x < 32.

Title:
  avahi-daemon constantly reporting "Invalid response packet from host"

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing Ubuntu 14.04 (Release: 14.04) and looking for other
  information in /var/log/syslog, I see that syslog is being flooded by
  "Invalid response packet from host" messages from avahi-daemon.

  I searched around to see why this might be and ran across the following avahi mailing list post along with a patch to fix it:
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002171.html

  >>>
  I would say you can safely ignore it, since any machine on your
  network running a recent OSX version will cause these messages.
  Here's a patch with what we change to avoid these messages flooding
  syslog.
