Maintenance Blog

Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.11 release of Net::DNS.

This release contains mostly maintenance work, which involved among other things:

• A Net::DNS::Resolver class for OS/390 MVS
• Work on configuration of Net::DNS::Resolver objects:
  • prefer_v4/prefer_v6 is no longer a binary choice. Expressing no preference leaves nameservers in the order stated
  • Parsing and adhering to ndots option
• A workaround for strict hashpairs with cperl >= 5.27 and
• Zeroed waiting period with bgbusy()

See also the Changes file.

Please review this candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Monday the 26th of June 2017.
