=====================================
* Minimum required Perl version is now 5.10.1.
* A couple of new tests:
- That a minimal referral can fit in a 512-octet packet.
- The responses come from the same IP address the question was sent to.
- That NSEC or NSEC3 is used in signed zones.
- That NSEC3 parameters are sane.
- That RRSIG durations are sane.
* CZNIC contributed a Czech translation.
* Reserved IP ranges updated according to new RFCs.
* All tests that made SMTP connections have been removed.
* The CLI script has a --level flag to specify the lowest log level you want printed.
* A new, better algorithm to check nameserver AS distribution.
* Plus of course bug and stability fixes.
Release Notes for DNSCheck Lib v1.3.0
=====================================
Notable changes:
* The configuration file layout has changed completely!
Instead of the old, complicated variant, default configuration, default
policy and language files are now installed in the proper place in the Perl
module tree. The user should never need to care exactly where that is. Local
changes to the configuration now lives in /etc/dnscheck/config.yaml and
/etc/dnscheck/policy.yaml
You have to manually move and rename your old site_config.yaml and
site_policy.yaml, if you have them!
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
hopefully also understand the workings of the Domain Name System, DNS.
When a domain (aka zone) is submitted to DNSCheck it will investigate
the domain's general health by traversing the DNS from root (.) to
the TLD (Top Level Domain, like .SE) to eventually the nameserver(s)
that holds the information about the specified domain (like iis.se).
Some other sanity checks, for example measuring host connectivity,
validity of IP-addresses and control of DNSSEC signatures
will also be performed.
