Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.40 release of Net::DNS.

This candidate has

• a fix for an infinite recursion bug when trying to resolve the address of a name server (see RT#149280)
• a fix for a bug in the SOA RDATA parser which failed to allow an undefined serial number (see RT#149456)
• support for SVCB dohpath and ohttp parameters
• a more robust test of bgbusy() SpamAssassin workaround
• and various other code-improvements.

Please review the candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual releases will follow Wednesday the 30th of August 2023.
