adns for unix/linux, adns-1.3.tar.gz

adns (1.3); urgency=low

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

adns (1.2); urgency=medium

  New features:
  * Support for SRV RRs.
  * Support for unknown RR types (according to RFC3597) via adns_r_unknown.
  * Allow `;'-comments in resolv.conf (report from Colin Charles).    
  * New adnsheloex client courtesy of Tony Finch.
  * New adns_init_logfn etc. for having logging use a callback function.

  Bugfixes:
  * Fix error in prototype in definition of adns__parse_domain.
  * Add missing ENOTSOCK to hcommon.c.m4 (was already in hcommon.c!)

  Portability fixes prompted by Bernd Eckenfels, the Debian maintainer:
  * Correct type of various printf arguments: ptrdiff_t != int.
  * Do not print size of leaked blocks of memory (this causes
    a spurious regression test failure on some platforms).
  * Provide adns_if_none and adns_qf_none (which will help with compilers
    which complain about plain `0' being passed where an enum is wanted).
  * adnstest converts some errno values to EFOOBAR: all of the ones
    mentioned in adns.h, at least.  This makes the regression test
    more portable (fixes problem noticed by Bernd Eckenfels).
  * Add -Wno-pointer-sign if GCC has that option.

  Documentation improvements:
  * Add documentation comment by definition of adns_r_ptr_raw type enum.
  * Document in adns.h EINVAL from adns_init meaning bad configuration.
  * Include several new references to related programs to README.html.
  * Redacted the TODO list.
  * New LICENCE.WAIVERS file for GPL-incompatility workarounds.
  * Clarified GPL-vs-LGPL: a bit less hostile and a bit more mercenary.
  * Copyright notices updated.

  Packaging changes:
  * Update MINOR to 2 and DISTVERSION and ADNS_VERSION_STRING to 1.2.
  * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
  * Create $(bin_dir) and $(lib_dir) on `make install', and also
    make a libadns.so.1 -> libadns.so.1.<minor> link.  (Suggestions
    and patch from Nix of esperi.org.uk.)
  * Add .PHONY: install to Makefile, to help people with demented fs's.
  * Darwin listed in INSTALL.

  Minor test harness improvements:
  * Hgettimeofday calls Tensurerecordfile (was Tensureinput/outputfile).
  * Add bind(2) and listen(2) wrappers (for epithet, but harmless in adns).

adns (1.1); urgency=medium

  Major bugfixes:
  * Do not spin if connect() fails immediately (!)
  * Stop searching on a CNAME (even if it's broken).
  * When search list runs out, _qf_owner sets owner to query domain.
  * Fix bogus multiple updates to p in transmit.c (!)

  Portability improvements:
  * Fix up spurious #undef's in hredirect.h.
  * Don't use <sys/select.h> any more, it was a mistake made in pre-1.0
    (and there doesn't seem to be much explanation why).
  * Understand and sort of check OpenBSD `lookup' resolv.conf directive.
  * #include <stdlib.h> in internal.h (for abort etc).
  * Always #include <sys/types.h> before <sys/socket.h> (for FreeBSD 4.6).

  Cosmetic and documentation improvements:
  * Added wishlist entry re configurable port no.
  * Problem with SERVFAIL in TODO.
  * README.html: mentioned Jarle Aase's Windows port, and other fixes.
  * Some better source code formatting/wrapping.

adns (1.0); urgency=medium

  Bugfixes:
  * Treat 8-bit characters in email addrs as RFC822 `special' (=> quote).
  * Fix incorrect `compressed datagram contains loop' error.
  * Actually compile shared libraries by default !
  * Fix adnsresfilter usage message to include correct default timeout.

  General improvements:
  * adnshost, adnslogres, adnsresfilter have options for config override. 
  * adnsresfilter has --debug option.
  * Improvements to adnslogres (incl. new -c option) from Tony Finch.
  * adnslogres has --help option, all utilities support --version.
  * Documentation improved somewhat, including new GPL-vs-LGPL file.

  Changes for non-BETA release:
  * Change shared library soname to 1.0.
  * Do not install adnstest test utility.

  Regression test improvements:
  * Tests now include adnshost, adnslogres and adnsresfilter.
  * Test cancellation both before and after query completion.

  Portability fixes and cleanups:
  * adnstest: setvbuf(stdout,...) before we do first output.
  * Cope with compilers that don't do `inline'.
  * Add and fix various missing system #includes.
  * Find install-sh properly when we need to use it, and chmod it +x.
  * Do not use variadic macro, use stdarg instead (adnslogres.c).
  * Regression tests work even if some syscalls are already macros.
  * #include "config.h" before "adns.h".
  * Cast a sizeof(...) in src/event.c to unsigned long before printing.
  * Add pre-generated versions of m4-generated files in regress/.
  * Kill bogus warning, adh-main.c: `arg2' might be used uninitialized ...
  * Add extra {...} near adnslogres.c:167 to kill spurious warning.
  * Use `printf' instead of `echo -n'.
  * Add list of tested platforms in INSTALL file.

adns (0.9) BETA; urgency=high

  Bug fixes:
  * Don't make _processany always kill the TCP connection with the message
    `TCP connection failed: poll/select: exceptional condition detected'.
  * Call MEM_ROUND in __transfer_interim (avoids assert fail
    `qu->interim_allocd>=0' on some platforms eg 64 bit).
  * adnsresfilter doesn't resolve textual prefixes of addresses (eg,
    10.0.0.1 out of 10.0.0.123) if input happens to block at that point.
  * Do not spin if TCP connection blocks for writing (and add test case).
  * Fail queries if TCP dies repeatedly, rather than retrying many times.
  * Do not abort in a couple of places if TCP unexpectedly broken.
  * Do not free something twice if query fails and is then cancelled.

  Portability/compilation fixes:
  * Move `extern "C" {' to after #include <...>'s.
  * Pass LDFLAGS from configure on to ld via settings.make.in.
  * make clean deletes *.so and *.so.* files.
  * New --disable-dynamic configure option for non-ELF systems.
  * Use AC_PROG_INSTALL (=> perhaps install-sh), to avoid bad `install'.

  Minor improvements:
  * Do not print warning if sendto() gives EAGAIN.
  * adnsresfilter default timeout changed to 1000ms.
  * m1test script can invoke `hrecord' differently.
  * regress/output-<case>.report file contains more useful info.
  * TODO list and other docs updated slightly.
  * Referrals with RD+RA set, or RCODE=Refused, don't generate warnings,
    just debug messages.  BIND does this kind of thing all the time.

adns (0.8) BETA; urgency=medium

  Bugfixes:
  * Race near adns_beforeselect which could cause infinite timeout fixed
    (it's now less agressive, and will more often return a zero timeout.)
  * Fixed infrequent race causing assertion failure in adns__tcp_broken
    `ads->tcpstate == server_connecting || ads->tcpstate == server_ok'.
  * Spurious `server failure on unidentifiable query' warning suppressed.
  * If we get a referral, don't also always complain falsely about RD==0.
  * adnslogres: cast chars to unsigned char before using ctype.h macros.
  * In _beforeselect, global failure now means zero timeout, and in
    tcp_events, really never try to do anything with the TCP connection if
    act is zero.  This might possibly cause an infinite delay (ie, lockup)
    if things go badly wrong *and* a really unlikely race happens.
  * Test suite `lines of syscall left' value is correct; !0 is failure.

  Portability fixes:
  * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
  * adnslogres: do not call equivalent of printf("%.*s",0,(char*)0).

  Documentation improvements:
  * Security/performance note added, about local nameservers and DNSSEC.
  * Documented that adns_rr_info _rr_hostaddr ( ) for address list
    means permanent failure, and ? means temporary failure.
  * Typo (*now for now in _beforeselect description) in adns.h fixed.
  * Copyright notices updated.
