Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.43 release of Net::DNS.

This candidate has

• Updated b.root-servers.net addresses in resolver hints.
• Improved accuracy and completeness of dependency metadata.
• Remaining support for GOST removed
• An update on IPSECKEY where the gateway is left undefined for gatetype 0
• Updated work on the fix for the hang on persistent TCP connections in Windows (see RT#150695)
• A fix for Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse to prevent deep recursion on upward referrals (see RT#151074)
• A fix for Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse to use all NS records from referrals, even if they did not have glue addresses (see RT#151075)

Please review the candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual releases will follow Friday the 26th of January 2024.
