Dear all,

We have a candidate for the new feature release version 1.09 of Net::DNS.

This release introduces structured EDNS0 options. Options can now be constructed or inspected structurally via the Net::DNS::RR::OPT::option method accessed via the edns attribute of a Net::DNS::Packet. Also, structured representations of the Options will be given when printed. Please see the documentation for information on how to use this new feature.

Besides this feature, this release has a bugfix for our previous wrong assumption that . is in @INC, and a workaround for and issue with Devel::Cover in combination with the Perl 5.24.1 compiler.

See also the Changes file.

Please review this candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Friday the 24th of March 2017.
