What's New in Herald Bonjour Network Browser

1.4

April 22, 2026

Thread Network Grouping - Border routers are now grouped by Thread network so routers on the same mesh appear together under a shared header. Grouping uses the Network Name (nn) with fallback to Extended PAN ID (xp) if present. Decoded Binary TXT Records - TXT record values that arrive as raw bytes โ€” Thread's Partition ID (pt), Extended PAN ID (xp), State Bitmap (sb), and similar MeshCoP fields are now decoded correctly. The service detail view shows a two-line decoded + hex layout per key, with type-aware formatting (uint32, colon-separated IDs, state bitmap flags) and a printable-or-hex fallback for unknown keys. Config Drift Detection (Experimental) Thread sections now surface mismatches in Active Timestamp and Extended PAN ID within a group, so you can spot when border routers on the same mesh disagree about the current dataset or have collided with a neighbor mesh. Per-router timestamps render in orange only when drift is detected. Bug Fixes - Renamed "Commissioners" to "Commissionable" in the Thread tab to match Matter spec terminology for _matterc._udp devices
