Multiple interface support, and a lot of fixes again from the team at
devolo AG.

Changes

  • Add support for multiple interfaces. Similar to running one
    mdnsd v0.10 per interface, sharing the same .conf files, issue #8
  • Drop -a ADDR command line option, not applicable anymore
  • Drop -p command line option, not needed anymore
  • The -i IFACE option now limits mdnsd to run on one interface
  • Add support for query type ANY, by Peter Fleer, issue #34
  • The libmdnsd function mdnsd_step() is now always non-blocking by
    employing MSG_DONTWAIT for its sendto() and recvfrom() ops
  • Create PID file when starting up, and touch on .conf reload. This
    is used by process supervisors like Finit to acknowledge that the
    process (mdnsd) is done and ready to serve requests again
  • Updated mquery tool to behave a bit more like mdns-scan(1), except
    with more command line options. mquery still only runs on one
    interface, unlike mdnsd itself

Fixes

  • Fix #33: multiple code cleanups and minor fixes by Wolfgang Rösler
  • Fix #35: validate port number in .conf file
  • Fix #38: possible NULL pointer dereference and memory leaks when
    reading .conf files, by Wolfgang Rösler
  • Fix #39: multiple fixes by Peter Fleer
    • Fix conflict detection
    • If a conflict is detected, append -index suffix to hostname
      to uniqify the name -- this happens in multi-deploy scenarios
    • When reloading .conf files, delete previously published records
    • Drop own, looped back, multicast packets -- only if we detect
      it as our own published records
    • Send publish records only if probes have gone unanswered
  • Fix #43: _ldecomp() breaking on long name offsets, by Chris Beaumont
