I'm pleased to announce the release of the Panther mDNSResponder source
code and a new version of the Rendezvous Conformance Test. When doing
any Rendezvous development, please use the Darwin tar file linked from
the following page...
That page will always contain the most stable, approved build of the
mDNSResponder source code. The Panther release is known as
mDNSResponder-58 and you can download it here...
This new release contains bug fixes and lots of optimizations to reduce
packet rate and to reduce CPU usage. It also adds IPv6 support,
subtype query support, the ability to find all services being
advertised on the network, and the ability to query individual machines
to get information about the mDNSResponder version, the hardware, and
the operating system version of the target machine. It also contains
improvements to speed up the purging of stale records.
I highly encourage any developer using the old version of mDNSResponder
code to update to this release. It's really solid. If you've already
added Rendezvous to your product and it hasn't shipped yet, please
consider updating to this new code.
When using the new code, you'll need to use the most recent version of
the Rendezvous Conformance Test, version 1.2. You can download it from
here...
In conjunction with the release of Mac OS X Panther, we've also
released some new Technical Q&As which relate to changes in the
mDNSCore code as well as changes that affect the Mac OS X Rendezvous
APIs, like CFNetServices, NSNetServices, and DNSServiceDiscovery. You
can find the Q&As at the Rendezvous Developer Web Site...
