Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.16 release of Net::DNS.

This release contains new and improved methods for NSEC and NSEC3 RRs to enquery about the name it covers, the types in its typemap, and in case of NSEC3 about the encloser, nextcloser and (unexpanded) wildcard.

Also, IPv6 support is from now only with the IO::Socket::IP module. Support for the IO::Socket::INET6 is removed (for which we have warned about since 1.12).

See also the Changes file.

Please review this candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Sunday the 15th of July 2018.
