  * This release provides full IPv6 support.  Applications can request
    AAAA records (containing IPv6 addresses) as well as, or instead of,
    A records (containing IPv4 addresses).  adns 1.5 can speak to
    nameservers over IPv6.
 
-  * adns_addr2text and adns_text2addr: Convenient C functions for
-    converting between addresses and address literals.  These carry
-    less baggage than getaddrinfo and getnameinfo.

+
+ Bugfixes:
+
+ * We fix a crashing bug in adnslogres.  (Debian#392102.)
+
+ * Previously, parsing of some adns_specific options in resolv.conf
+   would go awry if multiple options were specified on the same line.
+   (Fixed since 1.5.0~rc0.)
 
- * There is a fix to the one currently known bug in the resolver:
-   previously, some harmless but wrong owner names for checked ptr
+ * adns now knows to ignore more things in resolv.conf, rather than
+   warn about them, and there's also an option to disable all of these
+   warnings.  (Debian#411263.)  (Fixed since 1.5.0~rc0.)
+
+ * Previously, some harmless but wrong owner names for checked ptr
    queries would be accepted; now they are rejected with `Domain
    invalid for particular DNS query type'.
 
- * We fix a crashing bug in adnslogres.  (Debian#392102.)
+ Other:
+
+ * There are some minor API/ABI changes and improvements, for future

- * There are also some build system and test suite improvements.

   IPv6 as well as IPv4 information if simply asked for `addresses'.
   Calling programs which did not ask for a specific address type ought
   to cope with this.

+  The API in 1.5.0 also fixes a technical nonconformance to the C
+  specification.  On platforms where an `enum' type might be an
+  integer type whose size is bits is not a power of two, there could
+  be an incompatible ABI change between 1.4 and 1.5 - but we don't
