I just updated the Developer Tools for UPnP Technologies in an attempt to bring the tools up to date. First, the source code was updated to Visual Studio 2010. Second, when running Device Spy, the UI was sluggish and the tools would not be consistent in detecting all devices on the network. These issues have hopefully been fixes. I also fixed bugs with IPv6 and one more bug that caused my HDHomeRun digital tuner not to show up correctly.

One of the biggest changes involves making increased use of the HTTP client built into .NET. At the time these tools where made with .NET 1.0, these classes did not exist and all of the HTTP was built on top of raw sockets. With this new version, Device Spy make sure of built in .NET HTTP and the result is quite significant. In the future, I hope to transition completely to the new HTTP client, this would likely reduce the total amount of code.

People who already have downloaded version v.0.014 will notice that the tools will offer to self-update. This is a new feature but it does not seems to work correctly in v0.0.14, so a manual update is still required. After this version, new updates should be easier.
