[adns] / changelog
1 adns (1.5~~) UPSTREAM; urgency=low
2
3 New features:
4 * Support for queries about IPv6 data in all applicable adns
5 query types (including AAAA, PTR, and adns_r_addr queries).
6 (Thanks very much to Mark Wooding.)
7 * Support for transport over IPv6. (Thanks to Mark Wooding again.)
8 * adns_addr2text and adns_text2addr: Convenient functions for
9 converting between addresses and address literals.
10
11 Bugfixes:
12 * Fix a crashing bug in adnslogres. (Debian#392102.)
13 * Do all checks of checked PTR owner name before actually sending the
14 query, and reject IPv4 PTR owner names whose labels have leading zero
15 digits or values >255.
16
17 Build system fixes and improvements:
18 * `make clean' removes the pipes.
19 * Work around bugs in make (Debian #4073, #756123) affecting regress.
20 * Do not include Makefile and src/config.h in distribution tarball.
21
22 Regression test debugging improvements:
23 * Provide gdbwrap convenience script.
24 * Honour ADNS_TEST_DEBUG env. var. (Mark Wooding.)
25
26 Other improvements:
27 * Licence changed to GPLv3 (still LGPLv2 for adns.h).
28 * Source code cleanups. (Some from Mark Wooding.)
29 * Now in git.
30 * Documentation and webpage updates.

34 adns (1.4); urgency=low
35
36 Improvements for multithreaded programs:
37 * New documentation comment in adns.h explaining thread guarantees
38 (or lack of them), replaces `single-threaded' note at the top.
39 * Fix string conversion of adns_r_addr not to use a static buffer
40 (function csp_addr) so as to make thread promise true.
41 * Make an internal variable const-correct (expectdomain in pa_ptr).

45 adns (1.3); urgency=low
46
47 Portability fixes:
48 * Cast ptrdiff_t to int for %.*s length in adnsheloex and adnslogres,
49 as is required. (Report from Jim Meyering.)
50 * In configure.in, quote macro name argument to define() to
51 suppress spurious autoconf error. (Report from Mihai Ibanescu.)
52 * Use autoconf's values for {bin,lib,include}dir rather than inventing
53 our own from @exec_prefix@, making configure --libdir work.
54 (Patch from Mihai Ibanescu.)
55 * Remove spurious `_' from {bin,lib,include}dir Makefile variables.
56 (Report from Mihai Ibanescu.)
57 * Do away with `mismatch' variable in parse.c:adns__findrr_anychk so that
58 overzealous GCC cannot complain about members of eo_fls being
59 uninitialised. (Report from Jim Meyering.)

62
63 adns (1.2); urgency=medium
64
65 New features:
66 * Support for SRV RRs.
67 * Support for unknown RR types (according to RFC3597) via adns_r_unknown.
68 * Allow `;'-comments in resolv.conf (report from Colin Charles).
69 * New adnsheloex client courtesy of Tony Finch.
70 * New adns_init_logfn etc. for having logging use a callback function.
71
72 Bugfixes:
73 * Fix error in prototype in definition of adns__parse_domain.
74 * Add missing ENOTSOCK to hcommon.c.m4 (was already in hcommon.c!)
75
76 Portability fixes prompted by Bernd Eckenfels, the Debian maintainer:
77 * Correct type of various printf arguments: ptrdiff_t != int.
78 * Do not print size of leaked blocks of memory (this causes
79 a spurious regression test failure on some platforms).
80 * Provide adns_if_none and adns_qf_none (which will help with compilers
81 which complain about plain `0' being passed where an enum is wanted).
82 * adnstest converts some errno values to EFOOBAR: all of the ones
83 mentioned in adns.h, at least. This makes the regression test
84 more portable (fixes problem noticed by Bernd Eckenfels).
85 * Add -Wno-pointer-sign if GCC has that option.
86
87 Documentation improvements:
88 * Add documentation comment by definition of adns_r_ptr_raw type enum.
89 * Document in adns.h EINVAL from adns_init meaning bad configuration.
90 * Include several new references to related programs to README.html.
91 * Redacted the TODO list.
92 * New LICENCE.WAIVERS file for GPL-incompatility workarounds.
93 * Clarified GPL-vs-LGPL: a bit less hostile and a bit more mercenary.
94 * Copyright notices updated.
95
96 Packaging changes:
97 * Update MINOR to 2 and DISTVERSION and ADNS_VERSION_STRING to 1.2.
98 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
99 * Create $(bin_dir) and $(lib_dir) on `make install', and also
100 make a libadns.so.1 -> libadns.so.1.<minor> link. (Suggestions
101 and patch from Nix of esperi.org.uk.)
102 * Add .PHONY: install to Makefile, to help people with demented fs's.
103 * Darwin listed in INSTALL.
104
105 Minor test harness improvements:
106 * Hgettimeofday calls Tensurerecordfile (was Tensureinput/outputfile).
107 * Add bind(2) and listen(2) wrappers (for epithet, but harmless in adns).

111 adns (1.1); urgency=medium
112
113 Major bugfixes:
114 * Do not spin if connect() fails immediately (!)
115 * Stop searching on a CNAME (even if it's broken).
116 * When search list runs out, _qf_owner sets owner to query domain.
117 * Fix bogus multiple updates to p in transmit.c (!)
118
119 Portability improvements:
120 * Fix up spurious #undef's in hredirect.h.
121 * Don't use <sys/select.h> any more, it was a mistake made in pre-1.0
122 (and there doesn't seem to be much explanation why).
123 * Understand and sort of check OpenBSD `lookup' resolv.conf directive.
124 * #include <stdlib.h> in internal.h (for abort etc).
125 * Always #include <sys/types.h> before <sys/socket.h> (for FreeBSD 4.6).
126
127 Cosmetic and documentation improvements:
128 * Added wishlist entry re configurable port no.
129 * Problem with SERVFAIL in TODO.
130 * README.html: mentioned Jarle Aase's Windows port, and other fixes.
131 * Some better source code formatting/wrapping.

135 adns (1.0); urgency=medium
136
137 Bugfixes:
138 * Treat 8-bit characters in email addrs as RFC822 `special' (=> quote).
139 * Fix incorrect `compressed datagram contains loop' error.
140 * Actually compile shared libraries by default !
141 * Fix adnsresfilter usage message to include correct default timeout.
142
143 General improvements:
144 * adnshost, adnslogres, adnsresfilter have options for config override.
145 * adnsresfilter has --debug option.
146 * Improvements to adnslogres (incl. new -c option) from Tony Finch.

148 * Documentation improved somewhat, including new GPL-vs-LGPL file.
149
150 Changes for non-BETA release:
151 * Change shared library soname to 1.0.
152 * Do not install adnstest test utility.
153
154 Regression test improvements:
155 * Tests now include adnshost, adnslogres and adnsresfilter.
156 * Test cancellation both before and after query completion.
157
158 Portability fixes and cleanups:
159 * adnstest: setvbuf(stdout,...) before we do first output.
160 * Cope with compilers that don't do `inline'.
161 * Add and fix various missing system #includes.
162 * Find install-sh properly when we need to use it, and chmod it +x.
163 * Do not use variadic macro, use stdarg instead (adnslogres.c).
164 * Regression tests work even if some syscalls are already macros.
165 * #include "config.h" before "adns.h".
166 * Cast a sizeof(...) in src/event.c to unsigned long before printing.
167 * Add pre-generated versions of m4-generated files in regress/.
168 * Kill bogus warning, adh-main.c: `arg2' might be used uninitialized ...
169 * Add extra {...} near adnslogres.c:167 to kill spurious warning.
170 * Use `printf' instead of `echo -n'.
171 * Add list of tested platforms in INSTALL file.

174
175 adns (0.9) BETA; urgency=high
176
177 Bug fixes:
178 * Don't make _processany always kill the TCP connection with the message
179 `TCP connection failed: poll/select: exceptional condition detected'.
180 * Call MEM_ROUND in __transfer_interim (avoids assert fail
181 `qu->interim_allocd>=0' on some platforms eg 64 bit).
182 * adnsresfilter doesn't resolve textual prefixes of addresses (eg,
183 10.0.0.1 out of 10.0.0.123) if input happens to block at that point.
184 * Do not spin if TCP connection blocks for writing (and add test case).
185 * Fail queries if TCP dies repeatedly, rather than retrying many times.
186 * Do not abort in a couple of places if TCP unexpectedly broken.
187 * Do not free something twice if query fails and is then cancelled.
188
189 Portability/compilation fixes:
190 * Move `extern "C" {' to after #include <...>'s.
191 * Pass LDFLAGS from configure on to ld via settings.make.in.
192 * make clean deletes *.so and *.so.* files.
193 * New --disable-dynamic configure option for non-ELF systems.
194 * Use AC_PROG_INSTALL (=> perhaps install-sh), to avoid bad `install'.
195
196 Minor improvements:
197 * Do not print warning if sendto() gives EAGAIN.
198 * adnsresfilter default timeout changed to 1000ms.
199 * m1test script can invoke `hrecord' differently.
200 * regress/output-<case>.report file contains more useful info.
201 * TODO list and other docs updated slightly.
202 * Referrals with RD+RA set, or RCODE=Refused, don't generate warnings,
203 just debug messages. BIND does this kind of thing all the time.

206
207 adns (0.8) BETA; urgency=medium
208
209 Bugfixes:
210 * Race near adns_beforeselect which could cause infinite timeout fixed
211 (it's now less agressive, and will more often return a zero timeout.)
212 * Fixed infrequent race causing assertion failure in adns__tcp_broken
213 `ads->tcpstate == server_connecting || ads->tcpstate == server_ok'.
214 * Spurious `server failure on unidentifiable query' warning suppressed.
215 * If we get a referral, don't also always complain falsely about RD==0.
216 * adnslogres: cast chars to unsigned char before using ctype.h macros.
217 * In _beforeselect, global failure now means zero timeout, and in
218 tcp_events, really never try to do anything with the TCP connection if
219 act is zero. This might possibly cause an infinite delay (ie, lockup)
220 if things go badly wrong *and* a really unlikely race happens.
221 * Test suite `lines of syscall left' value is correct; !0 is failure.
222
223 Portability fixes:
224 * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
225 * adnslogres: do not call equivalent of printf("%.*s",0,(char*)0).
226
227 Documentation improvements:
228 * Security/performance note added, about local nameservers and DNSSEC.
229 * Documented that adns_rr_info _rr_hostaddr ( ) for address list
230 means permanent failure, and ? means temporary failure.
231 * Typo (*now for now in _beforeselect description) in adns.h fixed.
232 * Copyright notices updated.
233
234 Changes to produce more defensive code:
235 * In adns_wait, assert that the timeout is not infinite.
236 * Make qu->id start out as -2 when initially allocated.

239
240 adns (0.7) BETA; urgency=medium
241
242 * New adns_submit_reverse_any for eg RBL lookups, and corresponding
243 option to adnshost.
244 * README updated (from www home page).
245
246 * In answers, quote all except alphanums and - _ / + (and document).
247 * Don't reject specials in cnames even without adns_qf_quotefail_cname.
248 * Better checking of long domain names and labels in queries.
249 * answer->owner may be null on error. Documented, and adnshost copes.
250 * Better reporting of unexpected or weird replies from nameserver.
251 * Add test case for recursion (infinite loop) domain compression.

254
255 adns (0.6) BETA; urgency=high
256
257 Core library bugfixes:
258 * Avoid infinite timeouts, causing lockup, when they should be zero !
259 * TCP handling revamped (avoids undefined behaviour due to reentrancy).
260 * Do not fail assertion if _qf_owner, _qf_search, domain ends in `.'.
261 * Many memory leaks fixed.
262
263 Cool new utility:
264 * adnsresfilter is like `cat' but converts addresses to names without
265 delaying the output. Pipe `netstat -n', `tcpdump -ln', etc. into it.
266
267 Test and client program bug and portability fixes:
268 * Dynamic library building works properly.
269 * adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
270 * Include <stdlib.h> and <sys/types.h> in adnshost.h.
271 * adnslogres: parsing and error checking improved (Tony Finch).
272 * Regression tests can cope with zero-length reads.
273 * Regression tests check for memory leaks.
274 * adnstest copes with empty query type list.
275 * adnstest uninitialised memory bug fixed.
276
277 General improvements
278 * Better control of adnshost output and error messages (new -F options).
279 * New adns_if_logpid option (functionality suggested by Tony Finch).
280 * New fanftest test program from Tony Finch (ignored by `make install').
281 * Reads /etc/resolv-adns.conf if it exists.
282 * Declare flags parameters as enums again, not ints.

286 adns (0.5) unstable; urgency=high
287
288 New features:
289 * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
290 Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
291 * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
292 * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
293 * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
294 * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
295 * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
296
297 Incompatible changes:
298 * RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
299 * Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
300 * Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
301 * Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
302 * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
303
304 Bugfixes:
305 * Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
306 usually in memmove, unless adns_if_noautosys was used).
307 * Do not scramble innards when a query on the output queue is cancelled.
308 * Do not close tcp socket twice.
309 * Mailboxes containing spaces in their names are quoted.
310 * Give ESRCH, not EAGAIN, if _check called with no queries outstanding.
311 * adns_rr_hostaddr naddrs is -1 on temporary failure (as documented).
312 * Reject TXT RRs with no strings.
313 * Correct error messages for qname CNAME foo, foo CNAME bar.
314 * adns_processany actually does something.
315 * Fixed typos in adns.h.
316
317 General improvements:
318 * Promise not to change fds in adns_beforepoll (if now is specified).
319 * Improved textual error string for _s_prohibitedcname.
320 * New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
321 * Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
322 variables understood, in adns.h
323 * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
324
325 Portability and build improvements:
326 * Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
327 * Do not remove top-level Makefile on `make clean'.
328 * Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
329 * Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
330 * Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
331 * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
332 * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
333 * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.

338
339 General important bugfixes:
340 * make _qf_owner work if _qf_search not specified, and test it (oops!)
341 * ads->configerrno now initialised (in setup.c).
342 * timercmp(,,<=) doesn't work - use !timercmp(,,>).
343 * Changed memory semantics of internal queries to fix bugs.
344 * Restarting a TCP-using query (eg due to CNAME) doesn't abort.
345
346 Fixes for handling of broken kinds of reply:
347 * Only accept a reply from the subset of servers we sent the query.
348 * Ignore CNAME(s) in answer after RR(s) (and test).
349
350 Other bugfixes and improvements:
351 * adns_s_systemfail is in table of errors (for eg adns_strerror).
352 * Do not ship config.cache, Makefile, etc.
353 * Improvements to install instructions, TODO, etc.
354 * Regression tests compile on systems without poll(2).
355 * Do not install adnstest_s.
356 * _submit returns ENOSYS, not adns_s_unknownquery; documented, tested.
357 * <adns.h> includes <sys/types.h>, <sys/time.h>, <unistd.h>.

365 room for future locally-induced and locally-detected errors.
366 * Event loop functions for use by select(2) renamed and tidied up.
367
368 Features / improvements:
369 * New adns_errabbrev() for getting status abbreviation strings.
370 * regress/checkall prints summary list of failed tests, if any.
371 * Event loop functions for poll(2), and some raw variants.
372 * adnstest has ability to use poll(2), and user can set initflags.
373 * checkall prints passed list as well as failed list, if any failed.
374 * You can iterate over outstanding queries (but only once at a time).
375
376 Bugfixes:
377 * Non-RFC822 mailbox `domain' formatting now works, and clarified.
378 * Rejection of bad characters in domains (without quoteok) works.
379 * Clean up parents from adns->childw (otherwise would abort/segfault).
380 * In adnstest, allocate enough space for, and terminate, query types.
381 * In adnstest, don't print errno values as adns_status values.
382
383 * Added TODO file.
384 * Made adnstest.c test context pointers.
