More updates to the Developer Tools for UPnP Technologies. This time around, I fixed a problem that I put in when adding IPv6 support. In the Microstack (C code) seems like I was trying to connect to an IPv4 remote address using a IPv6 local address, no great surprise that it failed. I got that fixed up.

Most importantly this week, I added self-updating capability to the Developer Tools for UPnP Technologies. Much like FireFox update system, when you enter Device Spy, Device Sniffer or Device Builder a background check will be made to see if an update is available. The check is done at most every 24 hours. If there is an update, you click ok and a special update tool will download the update and check the signature.

This brings me to another point, for the first time I signed the installer (.msi). I don’t have an official certificate right now, I just create my own for testing, but at least you know that any downloaded updates come from the same source as the original tools. In any case, this new system should make it easier for anyone to keep the tools up to date with the latest fixes. I should have build self-updating a long time ago, it took my 2 intense days to build, but it’s going to be really helpful for the community.

As usual, please keep testing the tools and submit feedback and bug reports.
