Upgrade to 0.40. This is a minor upgrade, mostly documentation. Other than dnssec updates, no new functionality.
a00b931cd9
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.39
Update to 0.39, the latest release.

* Updated docs
* Net::DNS::Resolver now has unique classes for windows and unix
* You can now define a config file for the Resolver object
* Various other cleanups

If you were (bogusly) using module globals in your scripts, this
update is likely to break that, so take due precautions.

Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.38
Update to version 0.38. Versions 0.3[567] all had various bugs with either the Makefile.PL script, or other, and offered nothing new of interest.

This version has a more efficient dn_expand method, and adds a
warning that Resolver::axfr_old() is deprecated.
8b18ba9970
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.34
Update to version 0.34, which has better handling for multi-string TXT RR's, and multiple queries in one packet. Also some minor bug fixes for Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse and Net::DNS::Resolver::axfr_next().

Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.33
Update to 0.33, which has improved SIG support, and a few minor bugfixes.

Delete the sed "patch in Makefile" for FAQ.pod, the authors finally
fixed that.
c9037bc59e
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.31
Update to 0.31, which has bug fixes for OPT.pm, and a new udp timeout feature.
80126c27cf
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.30
Update to 0.30, which has TKEY support, a new safe_push() method for detecting duplicate RR's in an update packet, and some more tests. Note, the tests are not installed by the port, but are useful to examine as samples, and to test your installation.

* Update the port to handle the new TKEY and FAQ files.
* Patch the new FAQ, since pod2man is choking on the CVS Id.
* Update the comment by mentioning dynamic updates.
* Add a comment to the Makefile about the harmless build errors
you see if you don't have the run-time depends already installed.
36473c3905
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.29
Revert 1.32, which was wrong in all its particulars:

* The errors related to the missing dependencies during build are harmless.
The build-time and run-time dependencies are seperated on purpose so that
the port can be built and run on different boxes.

* The Test-Simple module is not needed to build or run the port, the
tests are not installed by us, and not part of the port itself.

These changes should have been discussed with me before they were made.

Add missed dependency and copy RUN_DEPENDS into BUILD_DEPENDS to eliminate configure-time warning.

Minor bugfixes. Variable scope in one module, and avoid a divide by zero error when there are no usable interfaces.

Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.28
Update to 0.28, which fixes some more AUTOLOAD bugs, dynamic update bugs, SRV bugs, and Net::DNS::SEC bugs. No new features.
4435849fff
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.26
Upgrade to 0.26, which has fixes for the test suite, and the AUTOLOAD bug that I found when running this code under perl 5.005.
13f554ed42
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.25
Upgrade to version 0.25, which cleans up CERT.pm a bit, and also has some major performance enhancements, especially the streamlined implementation of AUTOLOAD.

My brief tests indicate roughly a 30% reduction in module load time.

Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.24
Update to version 0.24, which contains:

Added support for DNAME resource records.
Fixed edge case for queries that have no name.
Tighted up the regular expression used in Net::DNS::Resolver::cname_addr()
d26b85fa3a
Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.23
Update to 0.23:

Fixed Net::DNS::mx() to work properly in scalar context.

Fixed taint issue when Net::DNS::Resolver::nameservers() is passed
a hostname as an argument.

Doug Barton (dougb) · 0.21
Update to the latest, 0.21. This version contains many changes, please see the Changes file for details. Some of the new features include TSIG support (experimental), a name server module, fixes for bind() problems in 5.005.03, and more.

The good news is that our friends in perldom have now seen the
light and fixed the later versions of this module so that it
does not (any longer) require perl 5.6.0 or higher. I've tested
quite a lot of the functions on both a RELENG_4 with stock perl
5.005.03, and a 5-Current system with stock 5.6.1, and didn't
have any problems.

I also added a few files to the PORTDOCS option.

Lots and lots of cleanups.  Teach p5-* in general about PKGNAMEPREFIX. Add some missing/wrong dependencies.  Show how to respect CC/CFLAGS.  Many miscellaneous modifications.  I used more excessive hacks to force p5-Jcode and p5-WWW-Search to respect CC/CFLAGS.
