QUIC is an experimental protocol aimed at reducing web latency over
that of TCP. On the surface, QUIC is very similar to TCP+TLS+SPDY
implemented on UDP. Because TCP is implement in operating system
kernels, and middlebox firmware, making significant changes to TCP is
next to impossible. However, since QUIC is built on top of UDP, it
suffers from no such limitations.
Key features of QUIC over existing TCP+TLS+SPDY include
+ Dramatically reduced connection establishment time
+ Improved congestion control
+ Multiplexing without head of line blocking
+ Forward error correction
+ Connection migration
- SQL Relay now supports Kerberos encryption and authentication
- SQL Relay now supports TLS/SSL encryption and authentication
- Python 3 support
- Node.js 4.x and higher are now correctly detected and supported.
- Separate "database" and "proxied" Authentication Options
- Various ODBC-related bugs have been fixed
- A subtle bug that caused incompatibilities with the popular
logrotate utility has been fixed
- A long standing problem that occurred when using a
listenertimeout with a threaded listener (the default) has been
fixed.
- After a graceful restart, Apache workers would get stuck in the
Closing Connection state after running a PHP script that used
SQL Relay. This is now fixed.

Major new features:
- Security Framework
* A securitycontext may now be attached to a filedescriptor to
enable encrypted reads and writes. The securitycontext class
is just an interface though, and there are currently gsscontext
and tlscontext implementations of it.
* The gsscontext class and associated classes implement a
wrapper on top of the GSSAPI on Linux/Unix and SSPI on Windows.
This primarily provides Kerberos encryption and authentication,
though on Windows it could be used for NTLM as well.
* The tlscontext class and associated classes implement a wrapper
on top of OpenSSL on Linux/Unix and, again, SSPI on Windows.
This provides Transport Layer Security, or it's predecessor Secure
Socket Layer, on both platforms.
- Thread Class Improvements
- Semantic Versioning
- General Bug Fixes

Get ready for your vacation and grab MAME 0.175!
We're proud to say MAME now supports a number of previously unemulated
prototypes, alternate versions of games, and unusual systems.
Prototypes include the super-rare Konami Kyuukoukabakugekitai, Home
Data's Mahjong Joshi Pro-wres Give Up 5 Byou Mae, and an early
Japanese version of E.D.F.: Earth Defense Force. Atari Moto Frenzy,
previously lacking protection emulation, is now fully playable.
We've also added a number of gambling games, including some Flaming
7's variants.
Many more Game Boy peripherals are now supported, including real-time
clocks, light sensors and tilt sensors. This makes several previously
unsupported games fully playable.
This release includes improvements to the Sega Master System and
SG-1000 emulation, including better SG-1000 expansion slot support,
and drivers with correct clock speeds for South American Master
System variants.
There's some big news in Sun emulation: all sun3 models will now
POST, MAME has a SPARCv7 CPU core, and there has been substantial
progress towards emulating the SPARCstation 1 (sun4c). Using unidasm
(built with TOOLS=1) you can disassemble SPARCv7 SPARCv7 or SPARCv9
code, incuding all VIS variants up to VIS-3B.
As usual, there are many emulation improvements, including fixes
for keyboard controls in some TRS-80 games, and better Seibu COP
emulation in Legionnaire, Heated Barrel and Godzilla.
In less visible changes, MAME's memory system got a nice cleanup
exposing a number of existing issues which are now fixed, and the
netlist-based discrete circuit simulation code has had a major
overhaul with lots of performance improvements. There are a number
of improvements to MAME's debugger modules in this release,
particularly the imgui-based debugger.
Ever been wondering if your ISP is hijacking your DNS traffic? Ever
observed any misbehavior with your DNS responses? Ever been redirected
to wrong address and suspected something is wrong with your DNS?
Here we have a set of tools to perform basic audits on your DNS
requests and responses to make sure your DNS is working as you
expect.
You can measure the response time of any given DNS server for
arbitrary requests using dnsping. Just like traditional ping utility,
it gives you similar functionality for DNS requests.
You can also trace the path your DNS request takes to destination
to make sure it is not being redirected or hijacked. This can be
done by comparing different DNS queries being sent to the same DNS
server using dnstraceroute and observe if there is any difference
between the path.
dnseval evaluates multiple DNS resolvers and helps you choose the
best DNS server for your network. While it is highly recommended
to use your own DNS resolver and never trust any third-party DNS
server, but in case you need to choose the best DNS forwarder for
your network, dnseval lets you compare different DNS servers from
performance (latency) and reliability (loss) point of view.
2016-05-27 Bob Halley <halley@dnspython.org>
* (Version 1.14.0 released)

* Misc. fixes to deal with fallout from the Python 2 & 3 merge.
[issue #156], [issue #157], [issue #158], [issue #159],
[issue #160].
* Running with python optimization on caused issues when
stripped docstrings were referenced. [issue #154]
* dns.zone.from_text() erroneously required the zone to be provided.
[issue #153]
2016-05-13 Bob Halley <halley@dnspython.org>
* dns/message.py (make_query): Setting any value which implies
EDNS will turn on EDNS if 'use_edns' has not been specified.
2016-05-12 Bob Halley <halley@dnspython.org>
* TSIG signature algorithm setting was broken by the Python 2
and Python 3 code line merge. Fixed.
2016-05-10 Bob Halley <halley@dnspython.org>
* (Version 1.13.0 released)
2016-05-10 Bob Halley <halley@dnspython.org>
* Dropped support for Python 2.4 and 2.5.
* Zone origin can be specified as a string.
* Support string representation for all DNSExceptions.
* Use setuptools not distutils
* A number of Unicode name bug fixes.
* Added support for CAA, CDS, CDNSKEY, EUI48, EUI64, and URI RR
types.
* Names now support the pickle protocol.
* NameDicts now keep the max-depth value correct, and update
properly.
* resolv.conf processing rejects lines with too few tokens.
* Ports can be specified per-nameserver in the stub resolver.
2016-05-03 Arthur Gautier
* Single source support for python 2.6+ and 3.3+
2014-09-04 Bob Halley <halley@dnspython.org>
* Comparing two rdata is now always done by comparing the binary
data of the DNSSEC digestable forms. This corrects a number of
errors where dnspython's rdata comparison order was not the
DNSSEC order.
* Add CAA implementation. Thanks to Brian Wellington for the
patch.
2.029 2016/07/26
- fix del_session method in case a single item was in the cache
- use SSL_session_key as the real key for the cache and not some derivate of it,
so that it works to remove the entry using the same key
2.028 2016/07/26
- add del_session method to session cache
1.05 2016-06-26
- Instead of using the DATA handle to get at as-yet-unloaded locale data in
DateTime::Locale::Data, we now read the raw data into memory once, and use
eval to turn it into Perl data structures as a particular locale is
requested. This may fix a problem where reading from the DATA handle somehow
returned the wrong chunk of data (or overlapped multiple locales). The
downside is that loading DateTime::Locale now uses an additional 4MB of
memory on my system, regardless of how many individual locales are
instantiated. Reported by Greg Oschwald. GitHub #3.
