25 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
26
27 Core library bugfixes:
28 * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
29 * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
30 * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
31 * Many memory leaks fixed.
32
33 Cool new utility:
34 * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
35 delaying the output. Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
36
37 Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
38 * Dynamic library building works properly.
39 * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
40 * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
41 * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
42 * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
43 * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
44 * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
45 * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
46
47 General improvements
48 * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
49 * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
50 * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
51 * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
52 * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

56 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
57
58 New features:
59 * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
60 Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
61 * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
62 * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
63 * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
64 * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
65 * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
66
67 Incompatible changes:
68 * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
69 * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
70 * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
71 * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
72 * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
73
74 Bugfixes:
75 * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
76 usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
77 * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
78 * Do not close tcp socket twice.
79 * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
80 * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
81 * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
82 * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
83 * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
84 * adns_processany actually does something.
85 * Fixed typos in adns.h.
86
87 General improvements:
88 * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
89 * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
90 * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
91 * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
92 variables understood, in adns.h
93 * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
94
95 Portability and build improvements:
96 * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
97 * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
98 * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
99 * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
100 * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
101 * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
102 * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
103 * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

107 adns (0.4) unstable; urgency=high
108
109 General important bugfixes:
110 * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
111 * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
112 * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
113 * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
114 * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
115
116 Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
117 * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
118 * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
119
120 Other bugfixes and improvements:
121 * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
122 * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
123 * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
124 * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
125 * Do not install adnstest_s.
126 * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
127 * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

131 adns (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
132
133 Incompatible changes:
134 * Low adns_status values (below adns_s_max_tempfail) renumbered to make
135 room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
136 * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
137
138 Features / improvements:
139 * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
140 * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
141 * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
142 * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
143 * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
144 * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
145
146 Bugfixes:
147 * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
148 * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
149 * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
150 * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
151 * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
152
153 * Added TODO file.
154 * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.

158 adns (0.2) experimental; urgency=low
159
160 Portability fixes for compilation on various platforms:
161 * Include <sys/socket.h> and <netinet/in.h> in files with <arpa/inet.h>.
162 * Don't use GCC union assignment feature (.rrs=0 => .rrs.untyped=0).
163 * Explictly cast things to [const] struct sockaddr* in syscall args.
164 * Check whether we need -lsocket.
165 * Include <sys/times.h> in a few more files.
166 * Include <unistd.h> and <sys/time.h> for select.
167 * Look for inet_aton and inet_ntoa (in -lnsl and -lsocket).
168 * LDLIBS removed from dependency lists (some makes don't support this).
169 * An `ambiguous else' warning from some compilers in types.c is removed.
170
171 Other changes:
172 * Added COPYING (copy of the GPL).
173 * Regression test failure output improved.
174 * Missing targets in regress/Makefile.in added.
175 * Regression test doesn't rely on value of fcntl flags eg O_NONBLOCK.
