We have a new Net::DNS::SEC release: 0.21.

This is again a single bugfix release, rt.cpan.org #99250, that restores canonicalization of a RRSIG’s Signer Name before performing validation.

Besides this fix, this release also corrects a few declaration with statement modifier occasions, as pointed out in rt.cpan.org #99527.

Package maintainers beware! Net::DNS::SEC::Private has always had an implicit dependency on Crypt::OpenSSL::Random. This dependency has been made explicit in this release; both in the use statements in Private.pm as in the PREREQ_PM list in Makefile.PL. Private.pm will no longer load if Crypt::OpenSSL::Random is not available.

Because of the smallness, but importance, of the change we consider it safe and acceptable to shorten the release cycle and do a full release immediately.
