+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.
- * install-sh (from autoconf 2.12 Debian r13) included.
+ * 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.
+
+ Changes to produce more defensive code:
+ * In adns_wait, assert that the timeout is not infinite.
+ * Make qu->id start out as -2 when initially allocated.
