3 * bug_if_query_done feature for debugging (SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT FOR RELEASE)
4
5 Bugfixes:
6 * Spurious `server failure on unidentifiable query' warning suppressed.
7 * adnslogres: cast chars to unsigned char before using ctype.h macros.
8 * In _beforeselect, global failure now means zero timeout, and in
9 tcp_events, really never try to do anything with the TCP connection if
10 act is zero. This might possibly cause an infinite delay (ie, lockup)
11 if things go badly wrong *and* a really unlikely race happens.
12 * Test suite `lines of syscall left' value is correct; !0 is failure.
13
14 Portability fixes:
15 * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
16
17 Documentation improvements:
18 * Security/performance note added, about local nameservers and DNSSEC.
19 * Documented that adns_rr_info _rr_hostaddr ( ) for address list
20 means permanent failure, and ? means temporary failure.
21 * Typo (*now for now in _beforeselect description) in adns.h fixed.
22
23 Changes to produce more defensive code:
24 * In adns_wait, assert that the timeout is not infinite.
25 * Make qu->id start out as -2 when initially allocated.

29 adns (0.7) BETA; urgency=medium
30
31 * New adns_submit_reverse_any for eg RBL lookups, and corresponding
32 option to adnshost.
33 * README updated (from www home page).
34
35 * In answers, quote all except alphanums and - _ / + (and document).
36 * Don't reject specials in cnames even without adns_qf_quotefail_cname.
37 * Better checking of long domain names and labels in queries.
38 * answer->owner may be null on error. Documented, and adnshost copes.
39 * Better reporting of unexpected or weird replies from nameserver.
40 * Add test case for recursion (infinite loop) domain compression.

44 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
45
46 Core library bugfixes:
47 * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
48 * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
49 * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
50 * Many memory leaks fixed.
51
52 Cool new utility:
53 * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
54 delaying the output. Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
55
56 Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
57 * Dynamic library building works properly.
58 * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
59 * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
60 * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
61 * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
62 * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
63 * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
64 * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
65
66 General improvements
67 * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
68 * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
69 * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
70 * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
71 * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

75 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
76
77 New features:
78 * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
79 Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
80 * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
81 * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
82 * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
83 * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
84 * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
85
86 Incompatible changes:
87 * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
88 * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
89 * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
90 * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
91 * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
92
93 Bugfixes:
94 * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
95 usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
96 * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
97 * Do not close tcp socket twice.
98 * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
99 * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
100 * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
101 * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
102 * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
103 * adns_processany actually does something.
104 * Fixed typos in adns.h.
105
106 General improvements:
107 * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
108 * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
109 * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
110 * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
111 variables understood, in adns.h
112 * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
113
114 Portability and build improvements:
115 * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
116 * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
117 * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
118 * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
119 * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
120 * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
121 * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
122 * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

126 adns (0.4) unstable; urgency=high
127
128 General important bugfixes:
129 * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
130 * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
131 * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
132 * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
133 * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
134
135 Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
136 * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
137 * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
138
139 Other bugfixes and improvements:
140 * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
141 * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
142 * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
143 * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
144 * Do not install adnstest_s.
145 * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
146 * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

150 adns (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
151
152 Incompatible changes:
153 * Low adns_status values (below adns_s_max_tempfail) renumbered to make
154 room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
155 * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
156
157 Features / improvements:
158 * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
159 * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
160 * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
161 * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
162 * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
163 * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
164
165 Bugfixes:
166 * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
167 * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
168 * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
169 * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
170 * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
171
172 * Added TODO file.
173 * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.

177 adns (0.2) experimental; urgency=low
178
179 Portability fixes for compilation on various platforms:
180 * Include <sys/socket.h> and <netinet/in.h> in files with <arpa/inet.h>.
181 * Don't use GCC union assignment feature (.rrs=0 => .rrs.untyped=0).
182 * Explictly cast things to [const] struct sockaddr* in syscall args.
183 * Check whether we need -lsocket.
184 * Include <sys/times.h> in a few more files.
185 * Include <unistd.h> and <sys/time.h> for select.
186 * Look for inet_aton and inet_ntoa (in -lnsl and -lsocket).
187 * LDLIBS removed from dependency lists (some makes don't support this).
188 * An `ambiguous else' warning from some compilers in types.c is removed.
189
190 Other changes:
191 * Added COPYING (copy of the GPL).
192 * Regression test failure output improved.
193 * Missing targets in regress/Makefile.in added.
194 * Regression test doesn't rely on value of fcntl flags eg O_NONBLOCK.
