Net::DNS 0.77 released

I am pleased to announce version 0.77 of Net::DNS.

This release is primarily concerned with fixing some regressions that have arisen since the 0.75 and 0.76 release. It has the axfr_start and axfr_next functions of Net::DNS::Resolver restored.

Net::DNS::Resolver::axfr in scalar context now returns an iterator interface to provide gradual reception with zone transfers.

Also processing of resolver configuration directives has been improved to be more robust, sensible and secure. An initial instantiation will set the class defaults always, so that subsequent instantiations – without explicit config_file argument or other overrides – will use those defaults and will not start processing environment variables or insecure locations for config files.

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

Quickfix release candidate for Net::DNS 0.77

We have a candidate for the upcoming quickfix release 0.77 of Net::DNS.

In the upcoming release the former Net::DNS::Resolver documented API functions axfr_start and axfr_next, that had been removed, are recovered. As an alternative to those functions the axfr() function now also offers an iterator interface to provide gradual reception with zone transfers.

Also some regressions that have arisen after the 0.75 and 0.76 release are fixed.

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

If no issues arise, the actual release will follow the 11th of June 2014.

Net::DNS::SEC 0.19 Quickfix release

We have a new release of Net::DNS::SEC.

In the previous release, the previously documented API function Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY::is_sep printed a message stating the function is deprecated. This release has printing of this warning removed.

Also classes for the CDS and CDNSKEY are introduced to facilitate experimentation with automated DNSSEC delegation trust maintenance (see draft-ietf-dnsop-delegation-trust-maintainance).
