   1 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
   2
   3   Core library bugfixes:
   4   * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
   5   * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
   6   * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
   7   * Many memory leaks fixed.
   8
   9   Cool new utility:
  10   * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
  11     delaying the output.  Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
  12
  13   Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
  14   * Dynamic library building works properly.
  15   * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
  16   * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
  17   * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
  18   * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
  19   * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
  20   * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
  21   * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
  22
  23   General improvements
  24   * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
  25   * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
  26   * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
  27   * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
  28   * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

  32 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
  33
  34   New features:
  35   * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
  36     Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
  37   * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
  38   * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
  39   * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
  40   * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
  41   * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
  42
  43   Incompatible changes:
  44   * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
  45   * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
  46   * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
  47   * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
  48   * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
  49
  50   Bugfixes:
  51   * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
  52     usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
  53   * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
  54   * Do not close tcp socket twice.
  55   * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
  56   * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
  57   * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
  58   * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
  59   * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
  60   * adns_processany actually does something.
  61   * Fixed typos in adns.h.
  62
  63   General improvements:
  64   * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
  65   * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
  66   * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
  67   * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
  68     variables understood, in adns.h
  69   * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
  70
  71   Portability and build improvements:
  72   * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
  73   * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
  74   * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
  75   * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
  76   * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
  77   * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
  78   * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
  79   * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

  83 adns (0.4) unstable; urgency=high
  84
  85   General important bugfixes:
  86   * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
  87   * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
  88   * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
  89   * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
  90   * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
  91
  92   Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
  93   * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
  94   * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
  95
  96   Other bugfixes and improvements:
  97   * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
  98   * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
  99   * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
 100   * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
 101   * Do not install adnstest_s.
 102   * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
 103   * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

 107 adns (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
 108
 109   Incompatible changes:
 110   * Low adns_status values (below adns_s_max_tempfail) renumbered to make
 111     room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
 112   * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
 113
 114   Features / improvements:
 115   * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
 116   * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
 117   * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
 118   * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
 119   * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
 120   * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
 121
 122   Bugfixes:
 123   * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
 124   * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
 125   * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
 126   * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
 127   * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
 128
 129   * Added TODO file.
 130   * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.

 133
 134 adns (0.2) experimental; urgency=low
 135
 136   Portability fixes for compilation on various platforms:
 137   * Include <sys/socket.h> and <netinet/in.h> in files with <arpa/inet.h>.
 138   * Don't use GCC union assignment feature (.rrs=0 => .rrs.untyped=0).
 139   * Explictly cast things to [const] struct sockaddr* in syscall args.
 140   * Check whether we need -lsocket.
 141   * Include <sys/times.h> in a few more files.
 142   * Include <unistd.h> and <sys/time.h> for select.
 143   * Look for inet_aton and inet_ntoa (in -lnsl and -lsocket).
 144   * LDLIBS removed from dependency lists (some makes don't support this).
 145   * An `ambiguous else' warning from some compilers in types.c is removed.
 146
 147   Other changes:
 148   * Added COPYING (copy of the GPL).
 149   * Regression test failure output improved.
 150   * Missing targets in regress/Makefile.in added.
 151   * Regression test doesn't rely on value of fcntl flags eg O_NONBLOCK.
