-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I am pleased to announce the release of adns 1.5.0.
adns is a DNS resolver library for C (and C++) programs, and a collection of useful DNS lookup utilities. The C library, and the command line utilities, provide a convenient interface. adns is capable of doing DNS lookups in an asynchronous, event-driven, fashion. For more information about adns, please see one of: http://www.gnu.org/software/adns/ http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/adns/ Changes in adns 1.5.0, since adns 1.4, are: New features: * This release provides full IPv6 support. Applications can request AAAA records (containing IPv6 addresses) as well as, or instead of, A records (containing IPv4 addresses). adns 1.5 can speak to nameservers over IPv6. * adns_addr2text and adns_text2addr: Convenient C functions for converting between addresses and address literals. These carry less baggage than getaddrinfo and getnameinfo. Bugfixes: * We fix a crashing bug in adnslogres. (Debian#392102.) * Previously, parsing of some adns_specific options in resolv.conf would go awry if multiple options were specified on the same line. (Fixed since 1.5.0~rc0.) * adns now knows to ignore more things in resolv.conf, rather than warn about them, and there's also an option to disable all of these warnings. (Debian#411263.) (Fixed since 1.5.0~rc0.) * Previously, some harmless but wrong owner names for checked ptr queries would be accepted; now they are rejected with `Domain invalid for particular DNS query type'. Other: * There are some minor API/ABI changes and improvements, for future proofing. * There are also some build system, test suite and coding style improvements. * Licence is now GPLv3+. Compatibility: adns 1.5 is fully forwards API- and ABI-compatible with 1.4. adns 1.5 is not backwards ABI-compatible, in the sense that applications built against adns 1.5 but run with adns 1.4 may experience `Function not implemented' errors, or `symbol lookup error' due to undefined symbols. But applications built against 1.4 will not experience data corruption due to ABI mismatches. adns_r_addr queries (general `address' queries where the application does not specify the kind of address) used to only return AF_INET (IPv4) addresses. To avoid surprising existing applications, AF_INET6 (IPv6) addresses will be returned only if the application explicitly states its support for handling a mixture of address families in the results from adns_r_addr. In a future version of adns this will become the default. adnshost and the other command-line utilities are fully forward- and backward-compatible, except that in adns 1.5, adnshost will return IPv6 as well as IPv4 information if simply asked for `addresses'. Calling programs which did not ask for a specific address type ought to cope with this. The API in 1.5.0 also fixes a technical nonconformance to the C specification. On platforms where an `enum' type might be an integer type whose size is bits is not a power of two, there could be an incompatible ABI change between 1.4 and 1.5 - but we don't think there are many (if any) such platforms which are sufficiently POSIX-like for adns. (Changed since 1.5.0~rc0.) There are no changes between adns 1.5.0~rc1 and the final 1.5.0. Please note the new bug reporting arrangements, documented in README.html in the source tree. The files are available here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/adns/ftp/ and are expected to be availabe on the GNU mirror network shortly.

The changes (mostly for IPv6 support) are extensive. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJUVkzCAAoJEOPjOSNItQ05bXwH/jqKsNBmUSkRUmgW+Pkan/HK oq8eqSjClojuAQJFrLo1iGAMVqyNrjASRuRgLEMQkEcWD4IP2EdFEbSEmnsAEBkS DyCOg7Oof0xbMTO75zRKVHTQiTkajqhsdHsZAs1Cz2Zt5swm9/A4Y5TDpDfuZUEJ www9f3wQLFFEuDQCPWtPMSDSiQlVMYxlKe0oBzz8CJI4y5rkSQ8wXng4x0ojXGYy 8cdmevciaCuFDP4i4mzPUfXCOPh+5haxX+ol9ysL2Ge63I11TtTF1RPf8He72XhD gRcxlXEF2nz0A9OtkDOJlx9xoNJAQshsUGsZN8ol5ZRIY7ujBJF6Xi7nIFbMij4= =yYhO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
