Not working on Windows PowerShell

[TobiasPSP]

When I tested the module, it works in PowerShell 7 but fails in Windows PowerShell.
With any cmdlet, I get this exception:

Exception calling "QueryServer" with "2" argument(s): "Query 59746 =>
8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR on 192.168.2.1:53 failed with an error."

Apparently, when you changed the lib you also broke compatibility to Windows PowerShell. Version 1.0.0 works like a charm.

Thanks for the heads up, @TobiasPSP. Sorry about that. Breaking Windows PS wasn't intended. Give me a bit to look into it.

It looks like this may be a bug in how the DnsClient library defines its dependencies. When I dig into the error being thrown, it's whining about not being able to find System.Buffers version 4.4.0 (assembly version 4.0.2.0) which is weird because the nuget dependencies page for DnsClient say that it needs at least version 4.5.1 (assembly version 4.0.3.0).

If I roll back just the System.Buffers dll to the 4.4.0 version that was included in the module v1.0, queries seem to work again. I think the reason it didn't break for PowerShell 7 is that the System.Buffers dependency isn't actually needed (again despite the nuget dependencies implying otherwise).

In any case, I'll get an updated version out with the System.Buffers rolled back and maybe file an issue with the library author.

This is now live in 1.1.1

Awesome, thx! You rock, that’s a remarkable response time… ;-)
