1 Major changes in release 3.1.0:
2 * hesinfo has been moved into a separate source tree.
3 * The build system now installs a shared library by default.
4 * A new function, hesiod_free_string, ensures that strings can be
5 freed at the same library level as they are allocated. (Important
6 in some runtime environments.)
7 * A new function, hesiod_parse_result, can be used in combination with
8 hesiod_to_bind to allow Hesiod resolutions to be done using an
10 * Support for class HS is removed; Hesiod resolution is always done in
13 Major changes in release 3.0.2:
14 * Better observance of Autoconf environment variable conventions (you
15 can set CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and LIBS). CDEBUGFLAGS is gone;
16 CFLAGS specifies debugging and optimization flags only.
17 * Bugs fixed: "make clean" missed config.h, hesiod_to_bind() would
18 core dump on names with right hand sides, hesiod_to_bind() didn't
19 length-check its arguments.
21 Major changes in release 3.0.1:
22 * hes_init() function added to backward compatibility interfaces.
23 * You can use "#ifdef HESIOD_INTERFACES" in an application to test if
24 the new interfaces are available.
26 Major changes in release 3.0.0:
27 * This NEWS file added.
28 * Wire protocol change: Hesiod data on the name servers should now be
29 in class C_IN, not C_HS. Data in class C_HS will still work for
30 now, but this backward compatibility hack may not stick around
31 forever. (You can specify which classes to look at in your
33 * Interface change: the preferred interfaces are now named
34 hesiod_*() and take a context argument. They also return allocated
35 memory which must be freed by the caller. The *_r() interfaces are
36 gone, and the hes_*() interfaces are deprecated.
37 * Hesiod no longer looks for /etc/hesiod.conf (unless sysconfdir is
38 /etc). It does, however, allow the environment variable
39 HESIOD_CONFIG to specify where the configuration file lives.
40 * hesiod.conf is no longer case-sensitive.
41 * Hesiod compiles on systems which don't define C_HS or T_TXT.
42 * Bugs fixed: "hesinfo -b" works, better length-checking on response
43 packets, string termination error in configuration file reading,
44 README left out periods in sample rhs and lhs values, "make check"
45 didn't set fixed hesiod configuration, manual pages weren't
48 Major changes in release 2.0.0:
49 * The hesiod.3 man page now documents all exported functions.
50 * Reentrant interfaces were added to the API. See the man page for
52 * hes_strerror() was added to the API.
53 * Function prototypes were added to <hesiod.h>. Hesiod now assumes a
54 compiler which can handle most ANSI constructs.
55 * Bugs fixed: memory leaks in hes_getpwnam(), hes_getmailhost,
56 hes_getservbyname(); bounds checking added in res_scan().
57 * Hesiod builds with Autoconf instead of imake now.
58 * An automated test driver is included.
59 * The maximum Hesiod response length is no longer coupled to the DNS
60 datagram transport size limit.
