We have a candidate for the upcoming bugfix release 0.83 of Net::DNS.

As discussed on the net-dns-users mailing list and also announced with the previous Net::DNS::SEC release, we are planning to merge the DNSSEC RR’s that are currently in the Net::DNS::SEC module (DS, DNSKEY, RRSIG etc.) into Net::DNS, though without the cryptographic operations. For the cryptographic operations (signing, verifying etc.), Net::DNS::SEC will still be required.

This release is intended to establish a clean Net::DNS baseline, before we start moving the RR’s over.

In anticipating of this move, this release already has the new CSYNC RR from the draft-ietf-dnsop-child-syncronization on board for experimentation purposes.

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

If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Thursday the 26th of February 2015.
