- Use debug.ReadBuildInfo() for version information (Go 1.18+ best practice)
- Extract version from module info and VCS settings (vcs.revision, vcs.time)
- Remove complex ldflags setup from Makefile and GitHub workflows
- Simplify build process while maintaining all version information
- Cleaner approach recommended by Go community
Thanks to Gopher Slack feedback for this improvement!
- Replace hardcoded version with build-time injected variables
- Add version, commit, and date variables to main.go with default values
- Update Makefile ldflags to use consistent variable names
- Add detailed 'version' subcommand showing build info, Go version, and platform
- Maintain compatibility with existing release workflow
- Support both --version flag (simple) and version subcommand (detailed)
- Implement GET/POST /clockTime endpoints for device time management
- Implement GET/POST /clockDisplay endpoints for clock display configuration
- Implement GET /networkInfo endpoint with real API structure
- Add comprehensive models for ClockTime, ClockDisplay, and NetworkInformation
- Update NetworkInformation to match real SoundTouch API responses:
* WiFi interfaces with SSID, frequency, signal strength, and connection state
* Ethernet interfaces with connection state
* Proper attribute-based XML structure matching actual device responses
- Add CLI support for all system endpoints with detailed output formatting
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all new models and client methods
- Update documentation to reflect real API structure and capabilities
- Anonymize all personal data (IP addresses, device IDs, device names)
- Add SYSTEM-ENDPOINTS.md documentation with real-world examples
Features:
- Clock time sync with current system time or specific timestamps
- Clock display configuration (enable/disable, format, brightness, auto-dim)
- Rich network interface information with WiFi signal quality and frequency bands
- Support for both WiFi and Ethernet SoundTouch devices
- Validated against real SoundTouch 10 and SoundTouch 20 device responses
All tests pass and builds successfully.
Features Added:
• mDNS/Bonjour discovery using hashicorp/mdns library
• Unified discovery service combining UPnP + mDNS + configuration
• Parallel discovery execution for optimal performance
• Comprehensive logging for both UPnP and mDNS discovery
• Network diagnostic tools for troubleshooting
New Discovery Methods:
• Configuration-based (fastest, most reliable)
• UPnP/SSDP discovery (widely supported, enhanced logging)
• mDNS/Bonjour discovery (Apple ecosystem friendly)
New Programs & Tools:
• cmd/example-mdns - Standalone mDNS discovery testing
• cmd/example-upnp - Isolated UPnP/SSDP discovery testing
• cmd/mdns-scanner - Network diagnostic tool for mDNS services
Enhanced Build System:
• make dev-mdns / dev-mdns-verbose (mDNS testing)
• make dev-upnp / dev-upnp-verbose (UPnP testing)
• make dev-scan-all (scan all network services)
• make dev-scan-soundtouch (scan for SoundTouch services)
Documentation:
• docs/DISCOVERY.md - Comprehensive discovery guide
• Updated README.md with new features and commands
• Full API documentation and troubleshooting guide
Technical Improvements:
• Detailed request/response logging for UPnP M-SEARCH
• Step-by-step mDNS service discovery tracking
• IP address resolution with IPv4/IPv6 handling
• Service name parsing and device info extraction
• Robust error handling and network diagnostics
Backward Compatibility:
• No breaking changes to existing APIs
• All existing tests pass
• CLI interface unchanged but enhanced
• Legacy UPnP-only service still available
- Implement HTTP client with XML support for SoundTouch Web API
- Add UPnP device discovery with SSDP protocol
- Create type-safe Go models for API responses
- Build CLI tool with device discovery and info commands
- Add comprehensive configuration management via .env and env vars
- Include extensive documentation (API endpoints, patterns, development guide)
- Translate all German documentation to English
- Set up modern Go project structure with testing framework
- Add Makefile for cross-platform builds and development workflow
Features:
✅ Device discovery (UPnP + manual configuration)
✅ Device information retrieval
✅ XML request/response handling
✅ CLI interface with flexible device targeting
✅ Cross-platform compatibility
✅ Comprehensive test coverage with mock data
✅ Production-ready configuration management
