Net::DNS Version 0.60 released
Version 0.60 is a maintenance release.
The release contains a number of bug fixes and a few new features. Highlights:
- IPSECKEY RR support
- Improvements to check_soa code, mainly in the way it deals with negative caching
- The dependency of Net::IP in the actual code was dropped. It is still needed for the tests. (Erratum (16 July 2007): Dependency dropped for Net::DNS::Resolver only, the dependency still exists for Net::DNS::Nameserver and a few tests)
- Cleanup of Question.pm
- This involved a minor change to the API for reverse IP lookup. Changing qtype to PTR is now performed for A and AAAA only. This allows queries for NS and SOA records at interior nodes to be specified using the address prefix. Type ANY queries now also produce the expected result.
- Support for RFC4291 IPv6 address and IPv4 prefix notation
- At some points where the code used to 'die' it now spits out a warning.
- Labels longer than 63 octets do not cause your code to die, but are truncated.
- Instead of dying the SSHFP returns undef when the fingerprint algorithm is unknown.
Dick Franks has contributed a lot of the fixes and features.
