Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.38 release of Net::DNS.

This candidate has

• has improved robustness of address parsing in Mailbox.pm
• has improved testing using the new t/TestToolkit.pm module
• has refactored socket code and control structure in Nameserver.pm
• and many more code-improvements and bug and documentation fixes.

This candidate deprecates

• the packet->edns->size() method (replaced by packet->edns->UDPsize()).
• deprecates the rdatastr() method for Resource Reecord modules replaced with rdstring())

Please review the candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual releases will follow Monday the 8th of May 2023.
