Dear all,

I am pleased to announce Net::DNS 1.38.

This release has

• a fix for incorrectly extracting the extended rcode from EDNS (a bug since 1.36)
• masking out the highest bit of a CLASS value with Net::DNS::Parameters::classbyval in support of MDNS
• improved robustness of address parsing in Mailbox.pm
• improved testing using the new t/TestToolkit.pm module
• refactored socket code and control structure in Nameserver.pm
• and many more code-improvements and bug and documentation fixes.

This release deprecates

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