OpenSLP 1.0.3 released

The OpenSLP project is an effort to develop an open-source implementation of Service Location Protocol suitable for commercial and non-commercial application.

The latest stable version of OpenSLP is 1.0.3. OpenSLP-1.0.3 fixes a few minor bugs.. The following is a shortened list changes for 1.0.3:

- Fixed several bugs that were resulting in messagage being send that contained 2-6 bytes of trailing garbage. The garbage was disrupting interoperability with other implementations most notably the Netware 6 DA Special thanks to Timothy Zurcher for debugging this problem.

- Changed install script so that it does not erase existing configuration files

- Fixed reconnect code to be able to interoperate with inefficient DAs that close the stream after each srvreg/srvack exchange. This change fixes interoperability with the Mac OS/X DA which is reported to make inefficient use of TCP. Special thanks to Timothy Zurcher for debugging this problem.

- Applied patch that fixes compile problems related to inet_aton() on Win32

- Fixed configure scripts so that -lresolv is used on Solaris

- Removed calls that (sort of) enforce service-url checking. This is for the benefit of AFP's usage of SRVLOC. Developers are now trusted not to register ambiguous service-urls.

- Applied Tomasz K?oczko patch for automake 1.5
