    Empty question section in Base.pm search method detected

Fix rt.cpan.org #31042
    Makefile corrected to add a library target.

Fix rt.cpan.org #29818
    10-recurse.t used to fail in very specific environment (where a query for
    qname="." and qtype="NS" would return with an empty additional section).
    Fixed by adding the hints explicitly; this also forces the tests to take
    place under the root served by a-m.root-servers.net
    

Fix rt.cpan.org #29877
    Made 00-version.t recognize a "GIT" environment.




Fix rt.cpan.org #29878

   SPF.pm did not evaluate as true. Thanks Bjorn Hansen.


Fix rt.cpan.org #21398
   answersize() and answerfrom() set for persistent sockets

Fix rt.cpan.org #29883
   Fix various tests only available through SVN, so they are 
   more robust (Acknowledgements Bjoern Hansen)


Fix rt.cpan.org #24343
   Resolver's nameserver() method would do silly things with undefined 
   arguments.

Fix rt.cpan.org #29531
   Nameserver.pm, Packet.pm and Question.pm modified to avoid erroneous PTR
   lookup in response to mischievous query packet containing an IP address.


Fix rt.cpan.org #27970 better netdns.o

    Marek Rouchal provided two minor improvements for linking the C
    code snippets


Fix rt.cpan 28345

    A fix in Test::Simple revealed an off by 1 error in the testplan
    for 05-rr-rrsort.t. The fix is to remove a test, creating a dependency
    on Test::Simple 0.71 seemed overkill.



*** 0.61, 1 August 2007

Fix rt.cpan.org #28106, 28198, and 28590
    Modification of $_ in various places.  

Fix
    t/11-inet6 assumed lowercase domain names.

*** 0.60 20 June 2007

Fix spelling mistakes in change log using interactive spell checker (aspell).

Fix
    Two redundant calls of $self->rdatastr() in Net::DNS::RR::string().

Fix rt.cpan.org #27285 bis
    Unreleased 0.59_1 dn_expand_PP() has security flaw allowing access to
    arbitrary data using crafted packet with out of range compression pointer.
    Patch by Dick Franks based on 0.59 code. 

Fix rt.cpan.org #27391
    dn_compress() produces corrupt packet for name containing empty label.

Fix rt.cpan.org #26957
    dn_compress() croaks for name having label which exceeds 63 characters.
    Patch by Dick Franks truncates offending label.

Feature check_soa test of NCACHE TTL
    Dick Franks supplied an improved version of check_soa script which
    performs a direct test of NCACHE TTL by looking up non-existent name and
    reporting value if it exceeds 86400. Test is skipped unless minimumTTL is
    above same threshold.  Recent BIND implementations impose a ceiling on
    NCACHE TTLs internally, so a large minimumTTL value is unlikely to have
    damaging consequences at many sites.

Fix rt.cpan.org #27285
    Break out of malformed packets with compression loops.
    Steffen Ullrich is acknowledged for patch and test code.

Feature check_zone "alternate domain" and "exception file" flags
    Paul Archer supplied a patch for check_zone adding two new features.

Feature Support for IPSECKEY RR
    Rudimentary IPSECKEY RR support added.

Fix rt.cpan.org  #25342
    HINFO would only accept its data fields within quotes. That has now
    been fixed to adhere to <character-string> by inheriting parsing functions
    from TXT.

Fix rt.cpan.org #24631 / Feature IP address prefix notation
    Dick Franks supplied a cleaned up version of Question.pm.

    Revised code deals with incomplete IPv6 address bug and accepts RFC4291
    address prefix notation. IPv4/prefix also supported for completeness.

    This involved a minor change to the API for reverse IP lookup.  Changing
    qtype to PTR is now performed for A and AAAA only.  This allows queries
    for NS and SOA records at interior nodes to be specified using the address
    prefix.  Type ANY queries now also produce the expected result.

    Cleaned up TYPE/CLASS reversal code, exploiting fact that the intersection
    of the sets of class and type names contains only one member (ANY).

    Minor cleanup of remaining code.

   the subversion number, not against the perl release version)
   Net::DNS::SEC version 0.15 will have DLV support.

Partly Fixed rt.cpan.org 18940

   djhale noticed a number of error conditions under which the
   udp_connection in Nameserver dies. We now print a warning instead
   of dying.


Fix rt.cpan.org 18958

   Fixed typebyname croak for SIGZERO. Acknowledgments to djhale.


Optimize rt.cpan.org 11931

   Hanno Stock optimized the method to get the list of available
   interfaces in Win32.  I have only done very rudimentary tests on
   my Windows XP system.

Fix dependency on "CC" rt.cpan.org 19352

   The Makefile.PL depended on availability of "cc" and would bail
   out on systems where gcc is exclusively available. Thanks to Rob
   Windsor for noticing and patching.

Fix compressed dnames in NAPTR/SRV

    Clayton O'Neill noted that the domain names in the NAPTR and
    SRV RRs rdata were subject to name compression which does not
    conform to specs. Also see RFC 2782 and 2915.


Fix rt.cpan.org 18897

   Zero-length rdata in TXT fixed (Acknowledgments to Roy Arends)

Fix rt.cpan.org 18785

   SPF would not work unless the TXT RR was already loaded.
   SPF fully inherits TXT and loading of TXT.pm is therefore a
   prerequisite.


Fix rt.cpan.org 18713

    Net::DNS::Resolver now deals gracefully with persistent sockets
    that got disconnected. It will first try to connect again to the
    socket and if that fails it will try to connect to the next
    available nameserver. tcp_timeout() is the parameter that
    determines how long to wait during a reconnect.

Fix rt.cpan.org 18268

     Added reference to RFC in croak message for label length > 63 in
     dn_comp().

Fix rt.cpan.org  18113

    The inet6 tests contained another bug when online-tests were disabled.
    Klaus Heinz discovered and provided a patch.

*** 0.57 February 24, 2006

Fix rt.cpan.org 17783

    The inet6 tests do not skip enough tests when ipv6 is not available.
    I did not catch this in my setup since IPv6 is available on all my
    machines. 

    Since this breaks automatic CPAN installs a new release is
    reasonable.


*** 0.56 February 20, 2006

Fix rt.cpan.org 17694
 
   Net::DNS::typesbyval() now confesses on undefined
   args. Acknowledgments to Dean Serenevy.

Feature Implemented SPF (typecode 99).

   The class completely inherits from Net::DNS::RR::TXT (the easiest 
   RR to implement ever).

Feature added rrsort() function.
   Feature was requested by Eric Hall in rt.cpan.org 13392

   This was a little tricky as I think that the sort functions are in
   fact RR specific class attributes that should be accessed through
   class methods. This is difficult to implement. I do think I found a
   fairly clean manner. It does require a global variable in Net::DNS
   to store the functions and some trickery when the sorting functions
   are defined.

   See Net::DNS and Net::DNS::RR documentation for details.

   Defaults sorting functions are currently implemented in 
      SRV: default sort: low priority to high priority and for
           same preference highest weight first.
	   weight: sort all RRs based on weight, highest first
	   priority: see default sort

      MX:  default sort: lowest preference first.
           preference: see default sort    
           
    NAPTR: default sort: lowest to highest order, for same order lowest
           preference first
	   order: see default sort
	   preference: order on preference, lowest first

      PX:  See MX
      RT:  See MX


Fix rt.cpan.org 14653 and 14049 
   TCP fallback after V6 socket failure 

   Reworked Net::DNS::Base::Nameserver::send_tcp() to fallback to IPv4 when 
   possible. (change applied to SVN Revision 538).


Feature Cleanup duplicated code

   axfr_send() and send_tcp() contained some duplicated code. I merged
   this in one "helper" method _create_tcp_socket()
