   1 uadns (0.8) BETA; urgency=low
   2
   3   Bugfixes:
   4   * Spurious `server failure on unidentifiable query' warning suppressed.
   5   * adnslogres: cast chars to unsigned char before using ctype.h macros.
   6   * In _beforeselect, global failure now means zero timeout, and in
   7     tcp_events, really never try to do anything with the TCP connection if
   8     act is zero.  This might possibly cause an infinite delay (ie, lockup)
   9     if things go badly wrong *and* a really unlikely race happens.
  10   * Test suite `lines of syscall left' value is correct; !0 is failure.
  11
  12   Portability fixes:
  13   * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
  14
  15   Documentation improvements:
  16   * Security/performance note added, about local nameservers and DNSSEC.
  17   * Documented that adns_rr_info _rr_hostaddr ( ) for address list
  18     means permanent failure, and ? means temporary failure.
  19   * Typo (*now for now in _beforeselect description) in adns.h fixed.
  20
  21   Changes to produce more defensive code:
  22   * In adns_wait, assert that the timeout is not infinite.
  23   * Make qu->id start out as -2 when initially allocated.

  26
  27 adns (0.7) BETA; urgency=medium
  28
  29   * New adns_submit_reverse_any for eg RBL lookups, and corresponding
  30     option to adnshost.
  31   * README updated (from www home page).
  32
  33   * In answers, quote all except alphanums and - _ / + (and document).
  34   * Don't reject specials in cnames even without adns_qf_quotefail_cname.
  35   * Better checking of long domain names and labels in queries.
  36   * answer->owner may be null on error.  Documented, and adnshost copes.
  37   * Better reporting of unexpected or weird replies from nameserver.
  38   * Add test case for recursion (infinite loop) domain compression.

  41
  42 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
  43
  44   Core library bugfixes:
  45   * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
  46   * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
  47   * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
  48   * Many memory leaks fixed.
  49
  50   Cool new utility:
  51   * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
  52     delaying the output.  Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
  53
  54   Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
  55   * Dynamic library building works properly.
  56   * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
  57   * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
  58   * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
  59   * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
  60   * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
  61   * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
  62   * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
  63
  64   General improvements
  65   * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
  66   * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
  67   * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
  68   * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
  69   * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

  72
  73 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
  74
  75   New features:
  76   * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
  77     Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
  78   * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
  79   * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
  80   * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
  81   * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
  82   * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
  83
  84   Incompatible changes:
  85   * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
  86   * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
  87   * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
  88   * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
  89   * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
  90
  91   Bugfixes:
  92   * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
  93     usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
  94   * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
  95   * Do not close tcp socket twice.
  96   * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
  97   * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
  98   * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
  99   * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
 100   * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
 101   * adns_processany actually does something.
 102   * Fixed typos in adns.h.
 103
 104   General improvements:
 105   * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
 106   * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
 107   * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
 108   * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
 109     variables understood, in adns.h
 110   * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
 111
 112   Portability and build improvements:
 113   * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
 114   * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
 115   * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
 116   * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
 117   * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
 118   * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
 119   * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
 120   * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

 124 adns (0.4) unstable; urgency=high
 125
 126   General important bugfixes:
 127   * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
 128   * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
 129   * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
 130   * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
 131   * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
 132
 133   Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
 134   * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
 135   * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
 136
 137   Other bugfixes and improvements:
 138   * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
 139   * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
 140   * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
 141   * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
 142   * Do not install adnstest_s.
 143   * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
 144   * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

 148 adns (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
 149
 150   Incompatible changes:
 151   * Low adns_status values (below adns_s_max_tempfail) renumbered to make
 152     room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
 153   * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
 154
 155   Features / improvements:
 156   * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
 157   * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
 158   * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
 159   * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
 160   * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
 161   * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
 162
 163   Bugfixes:
 164   * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
 165   * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
 166   * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
 167   * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
 168   * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
 169
 170   * Added TODO file.
 171   * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.

 175 adns (0.2) experimental; urgency=low
 176
 177   Portability fixes for compilation on various platforms:
 178   * Include <sys/socket.h> and <netinet/in.h> in files with <arpa/inet.h>.
 179   * Don't use GCC union assignment feature (.rrs=0 => .rrs.untyped=0).
 180   * Explictly cast things to [const] struct sockaddr* in syscall args.
 181   * Check whether we need -lsocket.
 182   * Include <sys/times.h> in a few more files.
 183   * Include <unistd.h> and <sys/time.h> for select.
 184   * Look for inet_aton and inet_ntoa (in -lnsl and -lsocket).
 185   * LDLIBS removed from dependency lists (some makes don't support this).
 186   * An `ambiguous else' warning from some compilers in types.c is removed.
 187
 188   Other changes:
 189   * Added COPYING (copy of the GPL).
 190   * Regression test failure output improved.
 191   * Missing targets in regress/Makefile.in added.
 192   * Regression test doesn't rely on value of fcntl flags eg O_NONBLOCK.
