Changes since 0.40:
*** 0.42 October 26, 2003
Fixed compilation problems on panther (Mac OS 10.3).
Fixed a bug in Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse which allowed an endless
loop to arise in certain situations. (cpan #3969, patch
by Rob Brown)
Applied Mike Mitchell's patch implementing a presistant UDP socket.
See the Net::DNS::Resolver documentation for details.
*** 0.41 October 3, 2003
Added some documentation about modifying the behavior of Net::DNS::Resolver.
** 0.40_01 September 26, 2003
Fixed some uninitialized value warnings when running under windows.
Fixed a bug in the test suite that caused 00-version.t to fail with
certain versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Thanks to David James, Jos
Boumans and others for reporting it.
Reply handlers in Net::DNS::Nameserver are now passed the peerhost.
(Assen Totin <assen@online.bg>)
Reply handlers in Net::DNS::Nameserver can now tweak the header bits
that the nameserver returns. [Olaf]
The AD header bit is now documented, and twiddleable. [Olaf]
The change log has been trimmed, entries for versions older than 0.21
have been removed.
** NOTICE **
Net::DNS::Resolver::axfr_old() has been removed from the package.
An exception will be thrown if you attempt to use this method. Use
axfr() or axfr_start() instead.
Net-DNS-SEC updates, seems that IETF has been busy redefining DNSSEC.
When parsing resolver configuration files, IPv6 addresses are now skipped,
as Net::DNS does not yet have IPv6 support.
Broke Net::DNS::Resolver into seperate classes. Many of the globals in
Net::DNS::Resolver no longer exist. They were never documented
so you never used them.... right?
Options to Net::DNS::Resolver->new() are now supported, including
using your own configuration file.
Moved next_id() from Resolver.pm to Header.pm (which is where it is
used).
Tie::DNSHash removed from the package, see Tie::DNS from CPAN for a more
complete implementation of a DNS hash.
Applied David Carmean's patch for handling more than one string in a
TXT RR's RDATA section.
Applied patch from Dan Sully (daniel@electricrain.com) allowing multiple
questions to be part of a DNS packet.
Fixed the regular expression in RR.pm to comply with the RFCs,
turns our we were _too_ paranoid.
Various cleanups for perl 5.004.
Applied SIG patch.
Added Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse module.
Applied initialization bug in OPT.pm patch.
Applied patch for udp timeouts.
Fixed a typo in FAQ.pod that was making aropos and whatis
grumpy.
Applied patch for TKEY support.
Added Net::DNS::Packet->safe_push() to allow for automatically
checking for duplicate RRs being pushed into a packet.
Added more tests.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
ones to do, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
programmer to perform any type of DNS query from a Perl script.
For details and examples, please read the Net::DNS manual page.
As of version 0.02, Net::DNS is written entirely in Perl. Version
0.01 was written mostly in C and used the system's resolver. The
Perl version runs quite a bit slower, but considering that the
network can be a serious bottleneck when making DNS queries, the
speed difference may not really matter in most cases. However,
future versions may contain some C to increase speed or for those
who wish to link against libresolv or libbind.
