Added #

• Added NativeMdnsScanner type alias for MdnsFfi, making the main class name consistent with the package name for easier and more intuitive usage.
• All examples, CLI tools, and tests now use NativeMdnsScanner instead of MdnsFfi in documentation and code samples.
• Added test coverage to ensure NativeMdnsScanner can be constructed and used identically to MdnsFfi.

Changed #

• Updated all example and CLI code to use NativeMdnsScanner for improved clarity and consistency.
• Documentation and usage instructions now recommend NativeMdnsScanner as the primary class name.

Changed #

• Native callback now uses JSON string: All device and error information is returned as a single JSON string from native code, enabling richer and more extensible data exchange.
• Debug mode with multiple levels: Both native and Dart layers now support debug levels (0=quiet, 1=error/result, 2=normal, 3=verbose). CLI and examples allow fine-grained debug control via --debug[=<level>].
• Dart FFI bindings updated: All FFI bindings and callback signatures updated to support JSON callback, with correct type safety and error handling.
• CLI tool (mdns_cli.dart): All scan commands now use the new JSON callback interface. Debug option is fully documented and supports levels. Usage/help is now fully in English.
• Examples and tests updated: All example and test files now use the JSON callback interface and support debug level control. All comments and output are in English.
• Error reporting improved: Native and Dart errors are now reported in a unified JSON format, and CLI displays them clearly.
• Resource management: Improved cleanup and disposal logic in FFI and CLI.

Fixed #

• Fixed type errors in FFI and CLI caused by debug parameter type changes (now always int).
• Fixed class/method structure issues in FFI binding layer.
• Fixed example/test code to match new API and debug conventions.

Added #

• Support for debug level 0 (quiet mode): only final device results are shown by default.
• CLI and API now allow setting debug level from 0 to 3 for granular control.
• All output, comments, and documentation are now in English for international use.

Fixed #

• Fixed example file name to native_mdns_scanner_example.dart

Fixed #

• Fixed example file name to *_example.dart
