Net::DNS version 0.66 has just been released

In addition to fixing a number of bugs the following main features where added:

• Support for the DHCID, KX and HIP RR
• Truncation support in Net::DNS::Packet used by Net::DNS::Nameserver
  TAKE CARE:
  this feature may cause unexpected behavior for your nameservers (packets on the wire may have different content than you intended). The feature be turned off by setting Truncate to 0 during the creation of the nameserver.
  my $ns = Net::DNS::Nameserver->new(
  Truncate => 0,
  );
• Addition of Net::DNS::Domain as a start towards a more structured handling of domain names. At this moment the Net::DNS::Domain class is only included to expose it to the various test environments that are available. The Net::DNS::Domain class and its methods are subject to name and functionality changes.
