We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.05 bugfix release of Net::DNS.

– TSIG algorithm names will be compared case insensitive again (bug since 1.02).
– Makefile.PL will issue a warning when an earlier version of Net::DNS (before 1.01) was installed on a different (architecture dependent) location.
– The asynchronous support functions (bgsend / bgread) now support transparent retry over TCP with truncated UDP packets.

Also support for the SMIMEA resource record was added.

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

If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Monday the 7th of March 2016.
