We have a candidate for the upcoming bugfix release 0.81 of Net::DNS.

This release addresses several bugs found in the last month, not least because of the review and assessment of tlhackque. Thank you tlhackque.

Because no platform or version sensitive changes will be in this release, we consider it safe to shorten the release cycle a little. If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Wednesday the 29th of October 2014.

We have a new Net::DNS::SEC release: 0.21.

This is again a single bugfix release, rt.cpan.org #99250, that restores canonicalization of a RRSIG’s Signer Name before performing validation.

Besides this fix, this release also corrects a few declaration with statement modifier occasions, as pointed out in rt.cpan.org #99527.

Package maintainers beware! Net::DNS::SEC::Private has always had an implicit dependency on Crypt::OpenSSL::Random. This dependency has been made explicit in this release; both in the use statements in Private.pm as in the PREREQ_PM list in Makefile.PL. Private.pm will no longer load if Crypt::OpenSSL::Random is not available.

Because of the smallness, but importance, of the change we consider it safe and acceptable to shorten the release cycle and do a full release immediately.
