Apple Replaces Problematic 'Discoveryd' Process With mDNSresponder in 10.10.4 Beta 4

Unless you have IPv6 on your network, that doesn't change anything at all.

It will not. You need to visit a genius bar because probably your wifi card is either broken or not seated correctly.
i've been suffering MIM attacks for months but the new beta has seem to resolve that.
I believe it was Discoveryd vulnerabilities to attacks.

This completely fixed my nice new rMB! It would always hang on webpages and then I'd have to disable and then reenable wifi to get it working again. It easily happened every ten minutes or so.
It was impossible to enjoy this computer.
I installed the 10.10.4 Beta 4 this morning and it hasn't hung up on a website a single time.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Can anyone report on Handoff from OSX to iOS reliability? It currently only works about 1/3 of the time for me. Would be nice if this improved the feature.
Those are terrible examples. And the newest version of Office will be Yosemite and above only. Also good job on stating that an outdated Adobe suite runs on an outdated OS. The current Adobe suite runs on 10.7 and later.
And yay to going back to things that worked!
cant wait for the public release if this is for real.
'discoveryd' surely is a much cooler name than 'mdnsresponder', which sounds dull and boring like something from the 90s or so, but the code surely does not match the coolness. haha.
hope they fired some of those responsible for this fiasco
or promoted them to the emoji team, which is the most important thing these days apparently

Funny, I haven't had wireless problems since I did a clean install of Yosemite. I think it was something in our corporate image.
Wi-Fi connection issues are the only reason I've stayed with Mavericks. Hopefully this will fix those.
While I would normally agree with you, it truly made a difference with our Macs, Apple TV's, etc. Someone else on the forum suggested it as a possible fix, and it had the desired effect in my example.
We have a couple of Mac Mini's, wired, with static IP addresses running Server app. They needed rebooting at least daily in order to be seen by the other Macs and iOS devices here. After enabling link-local only on the IP6 side of things, they have been rock solid networking wise.
My wife's MacBook Air has had no issues since enabling link-local.
Makes no sense to me either.
Although I do have to restart router pretty often, otherwise I don't have major issues with connectivity. I do have intermittent major connection issues with my iPhone 6...it can take up to 15 minutes to get it going again when it gets out of whack (not at home).
In any case, what was Discoveryd supposed to ultimately achieve? And, was this the major performance improvement in Safari...when it works, that is?
Not sure what to expect, I wish I had a second Mac to try this out on, would rather not go through more betas with my main machine.
I would suspect that Apple may just be setting Discoveryd to the side, testing and perfecting in-house only until they get it down, as some others have already said. We will likely see it again, probably not until 10.11 if you ask me.
Also, what is "displaypolicyd"? When I have lag, I repair permissions and almost always get user and group repairs for this.

I recall having this message at some point. I'm trying to remember exactly when, but, I think a clean install of OS X fixed this. But, here are some things to try:
Try repairing permissions, then restart (probably won't help, but, possibility.)
Have you tried disconnecting all peripherals? Shut down mac, take everything out of any USB or other ports, start up. Sometimes a bad external hardware device or even a bad cable can cause oddities with something seemingly unrelated.
I would try a clean install of Yosemite. ...When you say you reset SMC, you mean PRAM? If not, restart your mac holding down command, option, P & R, wait for restart sound a 2nd time, then let it boot up. I would do this just before a clean install.
If this doesn't work, you will need to run apple hardware test, depends on your mac as to how to do this.

Interesting. I see the settings are set to Automatic by default, yet, I know my modem does not support IPv6, so, it seems like changing to link-local could keep it from trying to use IPv6. I would think, if your ISP or your modem does not support IPv6, you would want it turned off so it isn't trying to use it. I know how Apple can be, they automate things so that it keeps trying the best option.
Text Color
I wish the text was darker....it becomes quite hard to read in safari at times.

Why did they change processes to begin with? What was the advantage of discoveryd?

Ha, classic!

Plot Twist: They renamed discoveryd to mDNSresponder to see if there's placebo effect
Ha, classic!
Hooray! MBA 13" 2010 is finally working again on wifi!!!!
I have tried so many fixes and workarounds to get things working.
Every time it woke up from sleep it would take ages to get it to connect again. I'd have to toggle wifi on/off a few times. It was very very very frustrating.
Wanted to throw the laptop more than a few times and swear off all things Apple.

It hasn't worked since the halcyon days of OS9, why should it work now?
Considering Back to my Mac was introduced in 10.5, I cant imagine it worked very well in OS 9.
I can't stand the buggy way my MP, MBP and TC communicate.
Hurray for Apple.
You innovate.
Usually it works out and we all win.
Sometimes innovation turns to doo doo.
You innovate more or revert.
Apple has done the correct, responsible thing. That is what Apple Quality is all about.

Of course, how could they be wrong if your connection stops working after an update keeping all other constant?
