I am pleased to announce version 0.79 of Net::DNS.

This is a bugfix release.

Besides bugfixes this release introduces a resolver class for the android OS.

Also an implementation of the draft OPENPGPKEY RR is within this release. Beware that the specification for this RR is still draft and is subject to change. The behaviour and/or interface of this implementation may also change. Use for experimentation only!

Also, the recursive resolver Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse has received a complete rework to make it a) always terminate, b) work properly and c) not make too many unnecessary requests. It now also provides recursive resolving through the conventional query, search and send methods.

We have a candidate for the upcoming bugfix release 0.79 of Net::DNS.

This is a bugfix release. Besides bug fixes this release introduces the OPENPGPKEY RR.

Also, the recursive resolver Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse has received a complete rework to make it a) always terminate, b) work properly and c) not make too many unnecessary requests. It now also provides recursive resolving through the conventional query, search and send methods, enabling drop in replacement of Net::DNS::Resolver objects.

If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Friday the 22th of August 2014.

I am pleased to announce version 0.20 of Net::DNS::SEC.

This release has only a single bugfix, rt.cpan.org #97457, which reestablished parsing of ‘-‘ salt fields in NSEC3 presentation format representing zero salt.

Because of the smallness of the change (only one and a half lines of code) we consider it safe and acceptable shorten the release cycle and do a full release immediately.
