+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.
+

* Dynamic library building works properly.
* adnshost prints somewhat better messages about some wrong usages.
