Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.40 release of Net::DNS.

This candidate has

• a fix for an infinite recursion bug when trying to resolve the address of a name server (see RT#149280)
• a fix for a bug in the SOA RDATA parser which failed to allow an undefined serial number (see RT#149456)
• support for SVCB dohpath and ohttp parameters
• a more robust test of bgbusy() SpamAssassin workaround
• and various other code-improvements.

Please review the candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual releases will follow Wednesday the 30th of August 2023.

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())
