* Fixed: Responses still pending when a connection closed were not calling their onComplete targets.
* Fixed: BLIPTestClient target failed to build because it didn't link against zlib.
* If TCPListener.bonjourServiceName is changed while the listener is open, it now re-publishes the service with the new name.
* Added a TCPListener.bonjourService property.
* Added a BLIPMessage.representedObject property.
* Fixed a memory leak.
