1 adns (1.1); urgency=medium
2
3 Bugfixes:
4 * Stop searching on a CNAME (even if it's broken).
5 * When search list runs out, _qf_owner sets owner to query domain.
6 * Don't use <sys/select.h> any more, it was a mistake made in pre-1.0
7 (and there doesn't seem to be much explanation why).
8 * Understand and sort of check OpenBSD `lookup' resolv.conf directive.
9 * Always #include <sys/types.h> before <sys/socket.h> (for FreeBSD 4.6).
10 * Added wishlist entry re configurable port no.
11 * Problem with SERVFAIL in TODO.
12 * Mentioned Jarle Aase's Windows port in README.html.
13 * Some better source code formatting/wrapping in a few places.

18
19 Bugfixes:
20 * Treat 8-bit characters in email addrs as RFC822 `special' (=> quote).
21 * Fix incorrect `compressed datagram contains loop' error.
22 * Actually compile shared libraries by default !
23 * Fix adnsresfilter usage message to include correct default timeout.
24
25 General improvements:
26 * adnshost, adnslogres, adnsresfilter have options for config override.
27 * adnsresfilter has --debug option.
28 * Improvements to adnslogres (incl. new -c option) from Tony Finch.
29 * adnslogres has --help option, all utilities support --version.
30 * Documentation improved somewhat, including new GPL-vs-LGPL file.
31
32 Changes for non-BETA release:
33 * Change shared library soname to 1.0.
34 * Do not install adnstest test utility.
35
36 Regression test improvements:
37 * Tests now include adnshost, adnslogres and adnsresfilter.
38 * Test cancellation both before and after query completion.
39
40 Portability fixes and cleanups:
41 * adnstest: setvbuf(stdout,...) before we do first output.
42 * Cope with compilers that don't do `inline'.
43 * Add and fix various missing system #includes.
44 * Find install-sh properly when we need to use it, and chmod it +x.
45 * Do not use variadic macro, use stdarg instead (adnslogres.c).
46 * Regression tests work even if some syscalls are already macros.
47 * #include "config.h" before "adns.h".
48 * Cast a sizeof(...) in src/event.c to unsigned long before printing.
49 * Add pre-generated versions of m4-generated files in regress/.
50 * Kill bogus warning, adh-main.c: `arg2' might be used uninitialized ...
51 * Add extra {...} near adnslogres.c:167 to kill spurious warning.
52 * Use `printf' instead of `echo -n'.
53 * Add list of tested platforms in INSTALL file.

58
59 Bug fixes:
60 * Don't make _processany always kill the TCP connection with the message
61 `TCP connection failed: poll/select: exceptional condition detected'.
62 * Call MEM_ROUND in __transfer_interim (avoids assert fail
63 `qu->interim_allocd>=0' on some platforms eg 64 bit).
64 * adnsresfilter doesn't resolve textual prefixes of addresses (eg,
65 10.0.0.1 out of 10.0.0.123) if input happens to block at that point.
66 * Do not spin if TCP connection blocks for writing (and add test case).
67 * Fail queries if TCP dies repeatedly, rather than retrying many times.
68 * Do not abort in a couple of places if TCP unexpectedly broken.
69 * Do not free something twice if query fails and is then cancelled.
70
71 Portability/compilation fixes:
72 * Move `extern "C" {' to after #include <...>'s.
73 * Pass LDFLAGS from configure on to ld via settings.make.in.
74 * make clean deletes *.so and *.so.* files.
75 * New --disable-dynamic configure option for non-ELF systems.
76 * Use AC_PROG_INSTALL (=> perhaps install-sh), to avoid bad `install'.
77
78 Minor improvements:
79 * Do not print warning if sendto() gives EAGAIN.
80 * adnsresfilter default timeout changed to 1000ms.
81 * m1test script can invoke `hrecord' differently.
82 * regress/output-<case>.report file contains more useful info.
83 * TODO list and other docs updated slightly.
84 * Referrals with RD+RA set, or RCODE=Refused, don't generate warnings,
85 just debug messages. BIND does this kind of thing all the time.

89 adns (0.8) BETA; urgency=medium
90
91 Bugfixes:
92 * Race near adns_beforeselect which could cause infinite timeout fixed
93 (it's now less agressive, and will more often return a zero timeout.)
94 * Fixed infrequent race causing assertion failure in adns__tcp_broken
95 `ads->tcpstate == server_connecting || ads->tcpstate == server_ok'.
96 * Spurious `server failure on unidentifiable query' warning suppressed.
97 * If we get a referral, don't also always complain falsely about RD==0.
98 * adnslogres: cast chars to unsigned char before using ctype.h macros.
99 * In _beforeselect, global failure now means zero timeout, and in
100 tcp_events, really never try to do anything with the TCP connection if
101 act is zero. This might possibly cause an infinite delay (ie, lockup)
102 if things go badly wrong *and* a really unlikely race happens.
103 * Test suite `lines of syscall left' value is correct; !0 is failure.
104
105 Portability fixes:
106 * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
107 * adnslogres: do not call equivalent of printf("%.*s",0,(char*)0).
108
109 Documentation improvements:
110 * Security/performance note added, about local nameservers and DNSSEC.
111 * Documented that adns_rr_info _rr_hostaddr ( ) for address list
112 means permanent failure, and ? means temporary failure.
113 * Typo (*now for now in _beforeselect description) in adns.h fixed.
114 * Copyright notices updated.
115
116 Changes to produce more defensive code:
117 * In adns_wait, assert that the timeout is not infinite.
118 * Make qu->id start out as -2 when initially allocated.

121
122 adns (0.7) BETA; urgency=medium
123
124 * New adns_submit_reverse_any for eg RBL lookups, and corresponding
125 option to adnshost.
126 * README updated (from www home page).
127
128 * In answers, quote all except alphanums and - _ / + (and document).
129 * Don't reject specials in cnames even without adns_qf_quotefail_cname.
130 * Better checking of long domain names and labels in queries.
131 * answer->owner may be null on error. Documented, and adnshost copes.
132 * Better reporting of unexpected or weird replies from nameserver.
133 * Add test case for recursion (infinite loop) domain compression.

137 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
138
139 Core library bugfixes:
140 * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
141 * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
142 * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
143 * Many memory leaks fixed.
144
145 Cool new utility:
146 * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
147 delaying the output. Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
148
149 Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
150 * Dynamic library building works properly.
151 * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
152 * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
153 * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
154 * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
155 * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
156 * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
157 * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
158
159 General improvements
160 * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
161 * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
162 * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
163 * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
164 * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

168 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
169
170 New features:
171 * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
172 Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
173 * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
174 * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
175 * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
176 * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
177 * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
178
179 Incompatible changes:
180 * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
181 * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
182 * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
183 * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
184 * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
185
186 Bugfixes:
187 * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
188 usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
189 * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
190 * Do not close tcp socket twice.
191 * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
192 * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
193 * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
194 * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
195 * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
196 * adns_processany actually does something.
197 * Fixed typos in adns.h.
198
199 General improvements:
200 * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
201 * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
202 * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
203 * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
204 variables understood, in adns.h
205 * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
206
207 Portability and build improvements:
208 * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
209 * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
210 * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
211 * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
212 * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
213 * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
214 * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
215 * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

219 adns (0.4) unstable; urgency=high
220
221 General important bugfixes:
222 * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
223 * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
224 * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
225 * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
226 * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
227
228 Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
229 * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
230 * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
231
232 Other bugfixes and improvements:
233 * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
234 * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
235 * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
236 * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
237 * Do not install adnstest_s.
238 * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
239 * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

243 adns (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
244
245 Incompatible changes:
246 * Low adns_status values (below adns_s_max_tempfail) renumbered to make
247 room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
248 * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
249
250 Features / improvements:
251 * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
252 * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
253 * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
254 * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
255 * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
256 * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
257
258 Bugfixes:
259 * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
260 * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
261 * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
262 * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
263 * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
264
265 * Added TODO file.
266 * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.

277 * Include <sys/times.h> in a few more files.
278 * Include <unistd.h> and <sys/time.h> for select.
279 * Look for inet_aton and inet_ntoa (in -lnsl and -lsocket).
280 * LDLIBS removed from dependency lists (some makes don't support this).
281 * An `ambiguous else' warning from some compilers in types.c is removed.
282
283 Other changes:
284 * Added COPYING (copy of the GPL).
285 * Regression test failure output improved.
286 * Missing targets in regress/Makefile.in added.
