- update 1.4 to 1.5.0
-------------------
Changes in adns 1.5.0, since adns 1.4, are:
New features:
* This release provides full IPv6 support. Applications can request
AAAA records (containing IPv6 addresses) as well as, or instead of,
A records (containing IPv4 addresses). adns 1.5 can speak to
nameservers over IPv6.
* adns_addr2text and adns_text2addr: Convenient C functions for
converting between addresses and address literals. These carry
less baggage than getaddrinfo and getnameinfo.
Bugfixes:
* We fix a crashing bug in adnslogres. (Debian#392102.)
* Previously, parsing of some adns_specific options in resolv.conf
would go awry if multiple options were specified on the same line.
(Fixed since 1.5.0~rc0.)
* adns now knows to ignore more things in resolv.conf, rather than
warn about them, and there's also an option to disable all of these
warnings. (Debian#411263.) (Fixed since 1.5.0~rc0.)
* Previously, some harmless but wrong owner names for checked ptr
queries would be accepted; now they are rejected with `Domain
invalid for particular DNS query type'.
Other:
* There are some minor API/ABI changes and improvements, for future
proofing.
* There are also some build system, test suite and coding style
improvements.
* Licence is now GPLv3.
Compatibility:
adns 1.5 is fully forwards API- and ABI-compatible with 1.4.
adns 1.5 is not backwards ABI-compatible, in the sense that
applications built against adns 1.5 but run with adns 1.4 may
experience `Function not implemented' errors, or `symbol lookup
error' due to undefined symbols. But applications built against 1.4
will not experience data corruption due to ABI mismatches.
adns_r_addr queries (general `address' queries where the application
does not specify the kind of address) used to only return AF_INET
(IPv4) addresses. To avoid surprising existing applications,
AF_INET6 (IPv6) addresses will be returned only if the application
explicitly states its support for handling a mixture of address
families in the results from adns_r_addr. In a future version of
adns this will become the default.
adnshost and the other command-line utilities are fully forward- and
backward-compatible, except that in adns 1.5, adnshost will return
IPv6 as well as IPv4 information if simply asked for `addresses'.
Calling programs which did not ask for a specific address type ought
to cope with this.
The API in 1.5.0 also fixes a technical nonconformance to the C
specification. On platforms where an `enum' type might be an
integer type whose size is bits is not a power of two, there could
be an incompatible ABI change between 1.4 and 1.5 - but we don't
think there are many (if any) such platforms which are sufficiently
POSIX-like for adns. (Changed since 1.5.0~rc0.)
Inspired by PR#43126 from Wen Heping.
While here, set LICENSE and TEST_TARGET.
adns (1.4); urgency=low
Improvements for multithreaded programs:
* New documentation comment in adns.h explaining thread guarantees
(or lack of them), replaces `single-threaded' note at the top.
* Fix string conversion of adns_r_addr not to use a static buffer
(function csp_addr) so as to make thread promise true.
* Make an internal variable const-correct (expectdomain in pa_ptr).

adns (1.3); urgency=low
Portability fixes:
* Cast ptrdiff_t to int for %.*s length in adnsheloex and adnslogres,
as is required. (Report from Jim Meyering.)
* In configure.in, quote macro name argument to define() to
suppress spurious autoconf error. (Report from Mihai Ibanescu.)
* Use autoconf's values for {bin,lib,include}dir rather than inventing
our own from @exec_prefix@, making configure --libdir work.
(Patch from Mihai Ibanescu.)
* Remove spurious `_' from {bin,lib,include}dir Makefile variables.
(Report from Mihai Ibanescu.)
* Do away with `mismatch' variable in parse.c:adns__findrr_anychk so that
overzealous GCC cannot complain about members of eo_fls being
uninitialised. (Report from Jim Meyering.)

adns (1.2); urgency=medium
New features:
* Support for SRV RRs.
* Support for unknown RR types (according to RFC3597) via adns_r_unknown.
* Allow `;'-comments in resolv.conf (report from Colin Charles).
* New adnsheloex client courtesy of Tony Finch.
* New adns_init_logfn etc. for having logging use a callback function.
Bugfixes:
* Fix error in prototype in definition of adns__parse_domain.
* Add missing ENOTSOCK to hcommon.c.m4 (was already in hcommon.c!)
Portability fixes prompted by Bernd Eckenfels, the Debian maintainer:
* Correct type of various printf arguments: ptrdiff_t != int.
* Do not print size of leaked blocks of memory (this causes
a spurious regression test failure on some platforms).
* Provide adns_if_none and adns_qf_none (which will help with compilers
which complain about plain `0' being passed where an enum is wanted).
* adnstest converts some errno values to EFOOBAR: all of the ones
mentioned in adns.h, at least. This makes the regression test
more portable (fixes problem noticed by Bernd Eckenfels).
* Add -Wno-pointer-sign if GCC has that option.
Documentation improvements:
* Add documentation comment by definition of adns_r_ptr_raw type enum.
* Document in adns.h EINVAL from adns_init meaning bad configuration.
* Include several new references to related programs to README.html.
* Redacted the TODO list.
* New LICENCE.WAIVERS file for GPL-incompatility workarounds.
* Clarified GPL-vs-LGPL: a bit less hostile and a bit more mercenary.
* Copyright notices updated.
Packaging changes:
* Update MINOR to 2 and DISTVERSION and ADNS_VERSION_STRING to 1.2.
* Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
* Create $(bin_dir) and $(lib_dir) on `make install', and also
make a libadns.so.1 -> libadns.so.1.<minor> link. (Suggestions
and patch from Nix of esperi.org.uk.)
* Add .PHONY: install to Makefile, to help people with demented fs's.
* Darwin listed in INSTALL.
Minor test harness improvements:
* Hgettimeofday calls Tensurerecordfile (was Tensureinput/outputfile).
* Add bind(2) and listen(2) wrappers (for epithet, but harmless in adns).

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Changes:
Major bugfixes:
* Do not spin if connect() fails immediately (!)
* Stop searching on a CNAME (even if it's broken).
* When search list runs out, _qf_owner sets owner to query domain.
* Fix bogus multiple updates to p in transmit.c (!)
Portability improvements:
* Fix up spurious #undef's in hredirect.h.
* Don't use <sys/select.h> any more, it was a mistake made in pre-1.0
(and there doesn't seem to be much explanation why).
* Understand and sort of check OpenBSD `lookup' resolv.conf directive.
* #include <stdlib.h> in internal.h (for abort etc).
* Always #include <sys/types.h> before <sys/socket.h> (for FreeBSD 4.6).
Cosmetic and documentation improvements:
* Added wishlist entry re configurable port no.
* Problem with SERVFAIL in TODO.
* README.html: mentioned Jarle Aase's Windows port, and other fixes.
* Some better source code formatting/wrapping.
