Fix

• Scheduling race with the QueryScheduler (#1347) (cf40470)
• Ensure question history suppresses duplicates (#1338) (6f23656)
• Microsecond precision loss in the query handler (#1339) (6560fad)
• Ensure IPv6 scoped address construction uses the string cache (#1336) (f78a196)

Traffic Reduction

This release resolves multiple long-standing issues that caused the library to generate excessive network traffic when a ServiceBrowser ran continuously.

Feature

• Add decoded_properties method to ServiceInfo (#1332) (9b595a1)
• Ensure ServiceInfo.properties always returns bytes (#1333) (d29553a)
• Cache is_unspecified for zeroconf ip address objects (#1331) (a1c84dc)

Technically breaking change

• ServiceInfo.properties always returns a dictionary with type dict[bytes, bytes | None] instead of a mix str and bytes. It was only possible to get a mixed dictionary if it was manually passed in when ServiceInfo was constructed.

Fix

• Performance regression with ServiceInfo IPv6Addresses (#1330) (e2f9f81)

Fix

• Re-expose ServiceInfo._set_properties for backwards compat (#1327) (39c4005)
