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

New features:
- * New adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
+ * adnslogres, ~100x faster replacement for Apache logresolve;
Thanks to Tony Finch for the program and the performance figure.
- * New internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
- * New adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
- * New adnshost utility - very alpha.
+ * Internal consistency checking with assert if right options set.
+ * adns_wait_poll function like adns_wait but uses poll, not select.
+ * adns_reverse_submit function for easy in-addr queries.
+ * adns_errtypeabbrev funcion for getting eg "permfail" from _s_nodata.
+ * adnshost utility for scripts and the like (rather alpha).
Incompatible changes:
* RRs with mailboxes never rejected due to strange chars if _raw.
* Lack of a mailbox produces `.' not `<>'.
* Better usage messages (and no default query domain) for adnstest.
* Return EAGAIN from _check instead of EWOULDBLOCK.
+ * adns_rr_info on _r_mx etc. shows status type abbrev and status number.
Bugfixes:
* Do not invoke __autosys indirectly from __procdgram (result: coredump
* New comment in adns_processany and return 0 (not r which is 0).
* Documentation of resolv.conf directives and options, and of environment
variables understood, in adns.h
+ * Regression test scripts set EF_DISABLE_BANNER (for Electric Fence).
Portability and build improvements:
* Give install the '-c' flag (otherwise some delete the original !).
* Don't complain so much about poll(2) tests if not available.
* Do not give -u 0 -g 0 options to install.
* Remove trailing , from some enums in adns.h.
+ * Dynamically linked clients now made with -l, so as to avoid rpath.
+ * Do not use $^ in make rules (should help with non-GNU make).
+ * Declare flags parameters as ints not enums because C++ is crap.
