Dear all,

We have a new bugfix release version 1.12 of Net::DNS.

This release contains bugfixes for:

• An issue with false timeouts reported with persistent UDP, and
• an issue with stalling TCP retries with IO::Socket::IP versions before. 0.38

This release also incorporates the printing and parsing of CDS and CDNSKEY as specified by erratum 5049 for RFC8078.

This release will emit a preliminary warning at build time about our intention to drop support for IO::Socket::INET6 in favour of the IO::Socket::IP module. When or how or even whether this will happen is still to be determined. Feedback and suggestions on this are welcomed.

Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.12 fast-track bugfix release of Net::DNS.

This release contains bugfixes for:

• An issue with false timeouts reported with persistent UDP, and
• an issue with stalling TCP retries with IO::Socket::IP versions before. 0.38

This release also incorporates the printing and parsing of CDS and CDNSKEY as specified by erratum 5049 for RFC8078.

Please review this candidate carefully. We would like to do a fast-track release this time to make it for the Fedora 27 beta release. Therefore, if no issues arise, the actual release will follow Friday the 18th of August 2017.
