I am pleased to announce the availability of adns 1.5.0~rc0, the first
release candidate of adns 1.5.0.


Changes in adns 1.5.0, since adns 1.4, are:

 * 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.

 * There is a fix to the one currently known bug in the resolver:
   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.)

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

 * Licence is now GPLv3.

Compatibility:

  adns 1.5 is fully forwards API- and ABI-compatible with 1.4.

  adns 1.5 is not backwards ABI-compatible, in the sense that
  applications built against adns 1.5 but run with adns 1.4 may
  experience `Function not implemented' errors, or `symbol lookup
  error' due to undefined symbols.  But applications built against 1.4
  will not experience data corruption due to ABI mismatches.

  adns_r_addr queries (general `address' queries where the application
  does not specify the kind of address) used to only return AF_INET
  (IPv4) addresses.  To avoid surprising existing applications,
  AF_INET6 (IPv6) addresses will be returned only if the application
  explicitly states its support for handling a mixture of address
  families in the results from adns_r_addr.  In a future version of
  adns this will become the default.

  adnshost and the other command-line utilities are fully forward- and
  backward-compatible, except that in adns 1.5, adnshost will return
  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.


Please note the new bug reporting arrangements, documented in
README.html in the source tree.

There is no diff provided between 1.4 and 1.5.0~rc0.  The changes
(mostly for IPv6 support) are extensive.
