Sat Jun 12 2021:

Version 0.15.1 released. Highlights:

  • This fixes the broken previous release by restoring the missing src/nss.h file. If you are using 0.15, you must upgrade to this version, or downgrade to a previous one.

Mon May 10 2021:

Version 0.15 released. Highlights:

  • Updated README.md for clarity
  • The return of BSD support!
  • Support for AVAHI_SOCKET in /run (instead of legacy /var/run)

Sun Mar 18 2018:

Version 0.14.1 released. Highlights:

  • No code changes
  • Fix unit tests to properly work on s390x

Sun Mar 18 2018:

Version 0.14 released. Highlights:

  • Fix -Wformat-truncation problem during reading of the allow file

Tue Feb 20 2018:

Version 0.13.2 released. Highlights:

  • No code changes
  • Change how ./configure --enable/disable-tests works:
    • --enable-tests: tests are enabled and will fail if dependencies are not found
    • --disable-tests: tests are not enabled and will not be built even if dependencies are found
    • no flag given: tests are conditionally enabled if dependencies are found

Sun Feb 18 2018:

Version 0.13.1 released. Highlights:

  • Very minor code changes (should result in no binary changes)
  • Reformat source to 80 columns
  • Improve configure options to allow disabling tests even if the testing libraries are present
  • Automake is now non-recursive
  • Hardcoded paths are now exposed as configure variables

Mon Feb 12 2018:

Version 0.13 released. Highlights:

  • Fix an old memory leak in reverse lookup
  • Fix the broken workaround for nscd segfaults (not all clients would see all results)
  • Simplify buffer management
  • More unit tests, more cleanups, and fewer gotos

Sat Feb 10 2018:

Version 0.12 released. Highlights:

  • Fix segfault when using nscd
  • Remove untested, unmaintained BSD support (please help out if you would like BSD support to return!)

Mon Jan 22 2018:

Version 0.11 released. The first release in some time! Highlights:

  • Moved to new GitHub location, docs migrated to markdown
  • The long-deprecated LEGACY mode is removed
  • The long-deprecated HONOUR_SEARCH_DOMAINS option is removed
  • Unit tests are now included, with make check
  • nss-mdns now implements standard heuristics for detecting .local unicast resolution and will automatically disable resolution when a local server responds to .local requests
  • _nss_mdns_gethostbyname3_r and _nss_mdns_gethostbyname4_r are now implemented
  • Full dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support is implemented

Sat May 12 2007:

Version 0.10 released. Changes include: Ported to FreeBSD; alignment fixes for SPARC.

Mon Jan 1 2007:

Version 0.9 released. Changes include: Make most shared library symbols private to not conflict with any symbols of the program we're loaded into. Fix a potential endless loop in the mDNS packet parsing code.

Please note that due to security reasons from this release on the minimal mDNS stack included in nss-mdns (dubbed "legacy") is no longer built by default. Thus, nss-mdns will not work unless Avahi is running! That makes Avahi essentially a hard dependency of nss-mdns. Pass --enable-legacy to reenable the mini mDNS stack again. Please note as well that this release does not honour /etc/resolv.conf domain search lists by default anymore. It created a lot of problems and was never recommended anyway. You may reenable this functionality by passing --enable-search-domains.

Sat Apr 29 2006:

Version 0.8 released. Changes include: Build time option to disable "legacy unicast" mDNS requests, i.e. resolve exclusively with Avahi; build a special _minimal flavour of the shared objects to minimize unnecessary name lookup timeouts; fix IPv6 resolving when using Avahi.

Please note that starting with nss-mdns 0.8 we encourage you to use a different /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration line. See below for more information!

Sat Nov 19 2005:

Version 0.7 released. Changes include: Portability patch for ARM from Philipp Zabel; make sure not to print any messages to STDERR; deal with OOM situations properly; if multiple addresses are assigned to the same interface make sure to send a query packet only once; other cleanups

Sun Aug 21 2005:

Version 0.6 released. Changes include: honour search list in /etc/resolv.conf; try to contact Avahi for resolving.

Sat Jun 4 2005:

Version 0.5 released. Changes include: only lookup hostnames ending in .local; add support for a configuration file (/etc/mdns.allow) to allow lookups for other names.

Sun May 15 2005:

Version 0.4 released. Changes include: small portability fix for big endian architectures; send "legacy unicast" packets instead of normal mDNS packets (this should reduce traffic and improve response time)

Jan Sun 16 2005:

Version 0.3 released. Changes include: add Debianization; use ip6.arpa instead of ip6.int for reverse IPv6 lookups.

Fri Dec 17 2004:

Version 0.2 released. Changes include: send mDNS queries on every interface that supports multicasts, instead of only the one with the default route, making nss-mdns more robust on multi-homed hosts; gcc 2.95 compatiblity.

Mon Dec 6 2004:

Version 0.1
