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

["Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" <zeenix gmail com>]

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
