CHANGELOG.md

Version 0.19.1 (2026-04-19)

This is a bugfix release.

Bug fixes

• When responding to a query, pick a source IP that matches the querier's subnet, so responses are reachable on multi-homed hosts. (#460, commit d210372)
• Validate TXT property length in the ServiceInfo constructor, catching oversized properties at registration time instead of at send time. (#458, commit cc81eec)

All changes

• d210372 2026-04-18 fix: use a source IP matching the querier's subnet when responding (#460) (keepsimple1)
• cc81eec 2026-04-12 fix: check TXT property length in ServiceInfo constructor (#458) (keepsimple1)

Version 0.19.0 (2026-04-04)

Breaking changes

• ScopedIpV4 now carries interface_ids tracking which network interfaces discovered the address. The derived Eq/Hash now includes interface_ids, so two ScopedIpV4 values with the same IP but different interface lists are no longer equal. (commits 43bd8f3, 0661bf1, 247447b)

New features

• New optional serde feature: adds Serialize/Deserialize on InterfaceId, ScopedIpV4, ScopedIpV6, ScopedIp, TxtProperties, TxtProperty, and ResolvedService. (commit c2c2f75)
• New public APIs: ScopedIpV4::new(), ScopedIpV4::interface_ids(), InterfaceId::get_addrs().

Bug fixes

• Avoid known-answer suppression when querying on a new interface, so address records are discovered promptly. (commit 468c5ee)
• Track modified instances when removing records from an interface, so ServiceResolved events reflect updated addresses. (commit 7daa1d4)

All changes

Version 0.17.2 (2026-01-16)

New features (non-breaking)

A new 'feature' literally: a default feature reuseport to control if SO_REUSEPORT should be used. Useful for old Linux kernels (before 3.9).

All changes

• 466d373 2026-01-15 feat: add reuseport feature (#414) (Hanssen)

Thanks and welcome our new contributor @kaidokert !

Version 0.17.0 (2025-11-06)

Breaking changes

Loopback interfaces are enabled by default now. The main reason is that some user reported a failure of publishing services locally. I think this change probably only impacts very few.

New features

A couple of new APIs are added for ServiceInfo: set_interfaces and set_link_local_only based on some real world use cases.

All changes

• 6752eaf 2025-11-04 feat: service registration with granular iface/ip conditions (#398) (twizansk)
• 7293e7c 2025-11-02 Enable loopback interfaces by default (#397) (keepsimple1)
• 505bd71 2025-11-02 Fix clippy for tests and remove unnecessary tests (#403) (keepsimple1)

Version 0.16.0 (2025-10-29)

A bugfix release. But we also bumped up rustc MSRV to 1.71.0, hence bumping our own minor version.

All changes

• 6c01cf6 2025-10-27 Handle IPv6 disabled in kernel (#396) (keepsimple1)
• b15c4c3 2025-10-23 log the interface name when joining multicast group (#394) (keepsimple1)

Version 0.15.1 (2025-09-06)

New feature: cache only browsing. Check out the new methods browse_cache and accept_unsolicited.

All changes

• 3f6d6e9 2025-09-04 feat: support cache only browsing (#388) (twizansk)

Thanks and welcome our new contributor @twizansk !

Version 0.15.0 (2025-08-31)

Breaking changes

• ServiceEvent::ServiceData is merged back with ServiceResolved (i.e. replacing it). The end result is: we have a single ServiceEvent::ServiceResolved(ResolvedService) going forward.

Hence, a service is respresented by ResolvedService on the client side, and by ServiceInfo on the server side.

And user_service_data() is no longer needed and removed.

Sorry about the confusions but I think this helps for the long term. I think / hope the required code changes are minimal for most users.

All changes

• 221e0be 2025-08-29 feat: impl AsIpAddrs for Box (#387) (Jean-Gab)
• f88fae1 2025-08-27 merge ServiceData with ServiceResolved (#386) (keepsimple1)

• ec4fb9a 2025-08-18 doc: add a missing line in doc code example (#384) (keepsimple1)

Version 0.14.0 (2025-8-10)

Breaking changes

• ServiceEvent::ServiceData to support IPv6 with scope_id. It will deprecate ServiceEvent::ServiceResolved.

Users must call ServiceDaemon.use_service_data to use ServiceData instead of ServiceResolved event.

• HostnameResolutionEvent::AddressesFound uses the new ScopedIp instead of IpAddr.
• ServiceEvent is non_exhaustive now.

Version 0.10.1 (2023-12-2)

This is a bug fix release.

Changes

• update flume to 0.11 (#152)
• bugfix: signal event key is possible to overlap with socket poll ids (#153)

Version 0.10.0 (2023-11-28)

Breaking changes

• ServiceDaemon::shutdown() return type changed from Result<()> to Result<Receiver<DaemonStatus>> (#149)

Other changes

• Related to the breaking change, a client can receive DaemonStatus to be sure the daemon is shutdown.
• A new enum DaemonStatus and a new API ServiceDaemon::status() are introduced.
• Updated CI in GitHub Actions: replace actions-rs with dtolnay/rust-toolchain.

Version 0.9.3

This is a bugfix release.

• apply interface selections when IP addresses change (#142)
• Remove un-necessary panic (#144)
• Always include subtype info if exists (#146)

p.s. Happy Halloween!

Version 0.9.2

The release includes a bugfix, thanks to @Mornix !

• fix PTR expiration from preventing later service resolution (#140)
• updated doc comments for DnsCache::add_or_update.

Version 0.9.1

There are no breaking changes.

• support interface selection (#137)

Added two new methods for ServiceDaemon: enable_interface and disable_interface, and some refactoring.

Version 0.9.0

• Ssupports IPv6 (#130) (Thanks to @izissise)
• ServiceInfo: support get_addresses_v4 (#132)
• bugfix: set address type correctly (#134)

This is a breaking change, including:

• Trait AsIpv4Addrs changes to AsIpAddrs to support both IPv4 and IPv6.
• ServiceInfo::new() uses the new AsIpAddrs trait.
• ServiceInfo::get_addresses() returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, while a new convenience method get_addresses_v4 returns IPv4 only.

But in general, because the trait hides away details, the user code is likely keeping working without code changes.

Improvements:

• avoid redundant annoucement or query packets (#135)

Version 0.8.1

• Remove env_logger in dev-dependencies and lower MSRV to 1.60.0. (#128)

Version 0.8.0

No breaking changes in API. This release brings two potential user-visible changes:

• use UDP socket to signal the daemon for commands. (#125)

This change reduces CPU utilization of the daemon thread as well as its latency to the user commands. Internally it uses local UDP sockets to signal the daemon.

• Added the link-local feature to if_addrs in Cargo.toml to enable link-local interfaces in Windows. (#126)

This change makes link-local interfaces visible to users in Windows where they didn't show up previously.

Version 0.7.5

• Revert the changes in v0.7.4 and support link-local addrs alongside routable addrs. (#122)

Version 0.7.4 (deprecated)

• Not to use link-local addrs if routable addrs exist (#117)

Version 0.7.3

Highlights

• Internal refactoring: always use DnsCache to resolve Servive Instances. When processing incoming packets, we used to update the cache one record at a time and also build separate service info structs to resolve. Now we finish the cache updates first, and then resolve instances from the cache.

• Added env_logger for the examples code and enhanced the examples as well.

What's Changed

• Support updating instances after they are resolved by @keepsimple1 in #104
• add optional "unregister" in example code by @keepsimple1 in #107
• Returns an error with logging for read_name invalid offset by @keepsimple1 in #109
• register example should keep running by @keepsimple1 in #110
• Refactoring DnsCache and how to resolve Service Instance by @keepsimple1 in #108
• add sanity check in reading a record data RDATA by @keepsimple1 in #111
• Enable logging for the examples by @keepsimple1 in #112
• register example: a simpler input for the service type by @keepsimple1 in #113

Version 0.7.2

Highlights:

• Implemented Display trait for TxtProperty: print using key=value format, where value is same as .get_property_val_str().

• Implemented Debug trait for TxtProperty: print using a struct format, where value prints as a string if it is UTF-8, or prints as hex if it is not UTF-8.

Version 0.7.1

Highlights:

• A bug fix: remove duplicated keys in TXT records received.

Version 0.7.0

Breaking Changes:

• Allow non-standard max length for a service name. The check for the length of a service name is moved to the daemon. If a service name is too long, there will be an error log and an error event sent to the monitors.

• ServiceInfo.get_property_val() returns Option<Option<&[u8]>> instead of Option<&str>. Now a new ServiceInfo.get_property_val_str() returns Option<&str>.

In other words, migrate to get_property_val_str() if you don't want to worry about non-UTF8 values.

Highlights:

• Allow non-standard max length for a service name: A new method ServiceDaemon.set_service_name_len_max() is added to support that. Only use it when you really need to.
• Support non-UTF-8 value for TXT properties.
• Support no value for a TXT property, i.e. boolean keys.
• Added checks for ASCII keys in a TXT property.

Version 0.6.1

Highlights:

• Fixs a bug: missing TXT records in received responses.

Version 0.6.0

Breaking Changes:

• ServiceInfo::new() takes IntoTxtProperties trait instead of a HashMap of properties. It is also backward-compatiable: the trait is implemented for HashMap and Option<HashMap>.
• ServiceInfo::get_properties() returns &TxtProperties instead of a HashMap of properties. It is also mostly backward-compatiable: support iter(), get() methods.

Highlights:

• TXT properties' names are now case insensitive. And the original user input order is kept.
• A new method ServiceInfo::enable_addr_auto(): automatically fill in IP addresses for published services.
• Detect IP changes.
• A new ServiceDaemon::monitor() method to return a Receiver handle to monitor the daemon events, such as IP changes.
