15 adns (1.1); urgency=medium
16
17 Major bugfixes:
18 * Do not spin if connect() fails immediately (!)
19 * Stop searching on a CNAME (even if it's broken).
20 * When search list runs out, _qf_owner sets owner to query domain.
21 * Fix bogus multiple updates to p in transmit.c (!)
22
23 Portability improvements:
24 * Fix up spurious #undef's in hredirect.h.
25 * Don't use <sys/select.h> any more, it was a mistake made in pre-1.0
26 (and there doesn't seem to be much explanation why).
27 * Understand and sort of check OpenBSD `lookup' resolv.conf directive.
28 * #include <stdlib.h> in internal.h (for abort etc).
29 * Always #include <sys/types.h> before <sys/socket.h> (for FreeBSD 4.6).
30
31 Cosmetic and documentation improvements:
32 * Added wishlist entry re configurable port no.
33 * Problem with SERVFAIL in TODO.
34 * README.html: mentioned Jarle Aase's Windows port, and other fixes.
35 * Some better source code formatting/wrapping.

40
41 Bugfixes:
42 * Treat 8-bit characters in email addrs as RFC822 `special' (=> quote).
43 * Fix incorrect `compressed datagram contains loop' error.
44 * Actually compile shared libraries by default !
45 * Fix adnsresfilter usage message to include correct default timeout.
46
47 General improvements:
48 * adnshost, adnslogres, adnsresfilter have options for config override.
49 * adnsresfilter has --debug option.
50 * Improvements to adnslogres (incl. new -c option) from Tony Finch.
51 * adnslogres has --help option, all utilities support --version.
52 * Documentation improved somewhat, including new GPL-vs-LGPL file.
53
54 Changes for non-BETA release:
55 * Change shared library soname to 1.0.
56 * Do not install adnstest test utility.
57
58 Regression test improvements:
59 * Tests now include adnshost, adnslogres and adnsresfilter.
60 * Test cancellation both before and after query completion.
61
62 Portability fixes and cleanups:
63 * adnstest: setvbuf(stdout,...) before we do first output.
64 * Cope with compilers that don't do `inline'.
65 * Add and fix various missing system #includes.
66 * Find install-sh properly when we need to use it, and chmod it +x.
67 * Do not use variadic macro, use stdarg instead (adnslogres.c).
68 * Regression tests work even if some syscalls are already macros.
69 * #include "config.h" before "adns.h".
70 * Cast a sizeof(...) in src/event.c to unsigned long before printing.
71 * Add pre-generated versions of m4-generated files in regress/.
72 * Kill bogus warning, adh-main.c: `arg2' might be used uninitialized ...
73 * Add extra {...} near adnslogres.c:167 to kill spurious warning.
74 * Use `printf' instead of `echo -n'.
75 * Add list of tested platforms in INSTALL file.

79 adns (0.9) BETA; urgency=high
80
81 Bug fixes:
82 * Don't make _processany always kill the TCP connection with the message
83 `TCP connection failed: poll/select: exceptional condition detected'.
84 * Call MEM_ROUND in __transfer_interim (avoids assert fail
85 `qu->interim_allocd>=0' on some platforms eg 64 bit).
86 * adnsresfilter doesn't resolve textual prefixes of addresses (eg,
87 10.0.0.1 out of 10.0.0.123) if input happens to block at that point.
88 * Do not spin if TCP connection blocks for writing (and add test case).
89 * Fail queries if TCP dies repeatedly, rather than retrying many times.
90 * Do not abort in a couple of places if TCP unexpectedly broken.
91 * Do not free something twice if query fails and is then cancelled.
92
93 Portability/compilation fixes:
94 * Move `extern "C" {' to after #include <...>'s.
95 * Pass LDFLAGS from configure on to ld via settings.make.in.
96 * make clean deletes *.so and *.so.* files.
97 * New --disable-dynamic configure option for non-ELF systems.
98 * Use AC_PROG_INSTALL (=> perhaps install-sh), to avoid bad `install'.
99
100 Minor improvements:
101 * Do not print warning if sendto() gives EAGAIN.
102 * adnsresfilter default timeout changed to 1000ms.
103 * m1test script can invoke `hrecord' differently.
104 * regress/output-<case>.report file contains more useful info.
105 * TODO list and other docs updated slightly.
106 * Referrals with RD+RA set, or RCODE=Refused, don't generate warnings,
107 just debug messages. BIND does this kind of thing all the time.

111 adns (0.8) BETA; urgency=medium
112
113 Bugfixes:
114 * Race near adns_beforeselect which could cause infinite timeout fixed
115 (it's now less agressive, and will more often return a zero timeout.)
116 * Fixed infrequent race causing assertion failure in adns__tcp_broken
117 `ads->tcpstate == server_connecting || ads->tcpstate == server_ok'.
118 * Spurious `server failure on unidentifiable query' warning suppressed.
119 * If we get a referral, don't also always complain falsely about RD==0.
120 * adnslogres: cast chars to unsigned char before using ctype.h macros.
121 * In _beforeselect, global failure now means zero timeout, and in
122 tcp_events, really never try to do anything with the TCP connection if
123 act is zero. This might possibly cause an infinite delay (ie, lockup)
124 if things go badly wrong *and* a really unlikely race happens.
125 * Test suite `lines of syscall left' value is correct; !0 is failure.
126
127 Portability fixes:
128 * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
129 * adnslogres: do not call equivalent of printf("%.*s",0,(char*)0).
130
131 Documentation improvements:
132 * Security/performance note added, about local nameservers and DNSSEC.
133 * Documented that adns_rr_info _rr_hostaddr ( ) for address list
134 means permanent failure, and ? means temporary failure.
135 * Typo (*now for now in _beforeselect description) in adns.h fixed.
136 * Copyright notices updated.
137
138 Changes to produce more defensive code:
139 * In adns_wait, assert that the timeout is not infinite.
140 * Make qu->id start out as -2 when initially allocated.

143
144 adns (0.7) BETA; urgency=medium
145
146 * New adns_submit_reverse_any for eg RBL lookups, and corresponding
147 option to adnshost.
148 * README updated (from www home page).
149
150 * In answers, quote all except alphanums and - _ / + (and document).
151 * Don't reject specials in cnames even without adns_qf_quotefail_cname.
152 * Better checking of long domain names and labels in queries.
153 * answer->owner may be null on error. Documented, and adnshost copes.
154 * Better reporting of unexpected or weird replies from nameserver.
155 * Add test case for recursion (infinite loop) domain compression.

159 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
160
161 Core library bugfixes:
162 * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
163 * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
164 * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
165 * Many memory leaks fixed.
166
167 Cool new utility:
168 * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
169 delaying the output. Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
170
171 Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
172 * Dynamic library building works properly.
173 * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
174 * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
175 * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
176 * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
177 * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
178 * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
179 * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
180
181 General improvements
182 * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
183 * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
184 * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
185 * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
186 * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

190 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
191
192 New features:
193 * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
194 Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
195 * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
196 * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
197 * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
198 * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
199 * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
200
201 Incompatible changes:
202 * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
203 * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
204 * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
205 * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
206 * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
207
208 Bugfixes:
209 * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
210 usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
211 * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
212 * Do not close tcp socket twice.
213 * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
214 * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
215 * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
216 * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
217 * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
218 * adns_processany actually does something.
219 * Fixed typos in adns.h.
220
221 General improvements:
222 * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
223 * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
224 * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
225 * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
226 variables understood, in adns.h
227 * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
228
229 Portability and build improvements:
230 * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
231 * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
232 * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
233 * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
234 * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
235 * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
236 * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
237 * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

242
243 General important bugfixes:
244 * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
245 * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
246 * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
247 * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
248 * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
249
250 Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
251 * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
252 * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
253
254 Other bugfixes and improvements:
255 * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
256 * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
257 * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
258 * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
259 * Do not install adnstest_s.
260 * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
261 * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

265 adns (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
266
267 Incompatible changes:
268 * Low adns_status values (below adns_s_max_tempfail) renumbered to make
269 room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
270 * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
271
272 Features / improvements:
273 * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
274 * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
275 * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
276 * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
277 * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
278 * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
279
280 Bugfixes:
281 * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
282 * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
283 * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
284 * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
285 * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
286
287 * Added TODO file.
288 * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.
