Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.14 release of Net::DNS.

This release resolves an issue with inaccessibility of (sub)packages from .pm files containing more than one packages, due to changed file permissions caused by dropped or changed user permissions by a program.

Besides this issue, this release also expresses more clearly that the Net::DNS::Nameserver module is not, nor will ever be, a general-purpose DNS nameserver implementation.

Functionality of Net::DNS::Nameserver has been extended to have a default ReplyHandler that will serve a zone given with a ZoneFile optional argument to the constructor.

See also the Changes file.

Please review this candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Thursday the 14th of December 2017.
