v2.1.5

What's Changed

• Fixed stale .env.example for manual builds
• Gate mDNS traffic summaries behind debug logging, which prevented HDD sleep
• Add targeted Bonjour SMB resolve fallback for doctor
• Cleaned up some old code

Full Changelog: v2.1.4...v2.1.5

v2.1.4

• Fix Zeroconf bug where IPVersion.All does not detect some IPV4 packets

Full Changelog: v2.1.3...v2.1.4

v2.1.3

What's Changed

• Added full IPv6/IPv4 dual stack networking
  • Added dual-stack mDNS and Samba link discovery. NBNS is still IPv4 only, as per RFC.
  • Added explicit Samba bind token generation for IPv4 and IPv6
  • Added UDP6 mDNS support, including per-link ff02::fb joins and scoped IPv6 sends
  • Added IPv6-aware mDNS record planning and A/AAAA advertisement from active link state
  • Improved mDNS behavior
• NetBSD 4 deploys now reboot before activation.
• Added TC_ATA_IDLE_SECONDS and TC_ATA_STANDBY configure support.
• Replaced old start-samba.sh / watchdog.sh runtime with the new boot.sh / manager.sh architecture.
  • One-time boot prep in boot.sh, with ongoing reconciliation moved into manager.sh instead of mixed duties in both of the old files
  • Added manager.sh handles updates for Samba, mDNS, NBNS, runtime identity, bind changes, payload availability, and disk/share state

Full Changelog: v2.1.2...v2.1.3

v2.1.2

What's Changed

• Refactor auto-IP handling for mdns-advertiser and nbns-advertiser. This handles when IP address changes (for example, DHCP changes the IP) without needing a reboot.
  • In practice, this means this device now can be used like the original Apple software. It will update mdns/nbns/Samba on IP address changes, it will update mdns/Samba if a new USB drive is plugged in or removed, and it will not require a device reboot for those situations
  • It updates via polling every 30 seconds. So it will usually take 30-60 seconds for things to work after an IP/disk change.
  • It will NOT automatically handle mDNS updates if you plug in a new printer or other similar device. Do a manual reboot in that case.
• Updated some stale documentation
