I am pleased to announce a release candidate for the upcoming 1.01 release of Net::DNS.

This is a candidate for the version with which we consider the architectural rework and cleanup, that has started late 2012, to be stable and finished.

This release has the RRs integrated that were previously only available with Net::DNS::SEC, however without the signature generation and verification functions. To enable those functions Net::DNS::SEC still needs to be installed.

As part of the process, the whole of Net::DNS has been brought under the MIT license already used by Net::DNS::SEC. We requested and have received agreement and permission from all the principal authors to apply this license to their respective modules.

Besides the incorporation of the Net::DNS::SEC RRs, this release contains bug fixes and updates with current DNS parameters as usual. For a complete list of changes and bugfixes see the CHANGES file.

If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Monday the 6th of July 2015.
