Hi, See mDNS https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6762#section-16 and RFC 4343 that clarifies in more detail. So the hostnames must be treated case-insensitive.
Personally I'm not aware of what changed between these versions.

I've been using an embedded Linux image built with Avahi 0.6.32 for some time now, and have had a go trying to build the same image with 0.8. I've been successful, and it seems to work, but I'm seeing that, if I ping a host, e.g. abc-123456.local, it's failing, but pinging ABC-123456.local is fine. This wasn't the case with 0.6.32; has something changed in that area, or is there anything that I may be missing? Thanks John
