Net::DNS 0.76 emergency release

We have an emergency release of Net::DNS version 0.76.

0.75 contains a bug in the parsing of /etc/resolv.conf by Resolver objects. With this bug only the last “nameserver” line in /etc/resolv.conf is evaluated and name servers specified on earlier “nameserver” lines are discarded (See RT#95596 ). This might result in decreased availability of resolving capabilities on systems with multiple “nameserver” lines in /etc/resolv.conf as only the name servers given on the last line will be targeted. We this this is serious enough to justify an emergency release.

Besides the aforementioned bug, a few other bugfixes have been resolved.

For a complete list of changes and bug fixes see the CHANGES file.
