I am pleased to announce version 0.74 of Net::DNS.

In this release a pressing bug introduced in the 0.73 release is resolved.  This bug caused the algorithm name of TSIG RR’s to be non-standard rendering TSIG support dysfunctional.

Besides bugfixes, this release also includes the CAA, EUI48 and EUI64 RR types.
Also operation with older versions of perl has been improved.

For a complete list of changes and bugfixes see the CHANGES file.

It has come to our attention that the previous release candidate was not working at all any more on older versions of perl < 5.6.  Also a taint preservation issue with perl versions 5.8.x was noticed.

To resolve, minor modifications to the previous release candidate have been made.  We believe those modifications are safe and don’t change any behaviour (except the beneficial ones).

However, I do not want to release without opportunity for review from the community.  Please review this update carefully.  Because of the little changes and the pressing TSIG issue, the actual release will now follow Thursday the 14th of January 2014.
