Guile-Avahi is a set of Avahi bindings for GNU Guile 1.8, released under
the LGPL v3 or later.  It allows programmers to use functionalities of
the Avahi client library from Guile Scheme programs.

Avahi itself is an implementation of multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS
Service Discovery (DNS-SD).  Together, these protocols provide support
for fully decentralized host naming and service publication and
discovery.  More information is available from http://avahi.org/ .

Excerpt from the `NEWS' file:

  ** Switched to LGPLv3.
  ** Use a custom memory allocator
  This allows Guile's GC to make more informed decisions, thereby slightly
  reducing average memory usage.
  ** Bug fixes
  *** Fixed garbage collection of clients when a Guile poll is used
  *** Fixed garbage collection of Guile polls vs. watches

Please send bug reports to the address@hidden' mailing
list.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
