Update to version 0.63, which has a couple of bug fixes, including:

Fix rt.cpan.org #30316  Security issue with Net::DNS Resolver.
  Net/DNS/RR/A.pm in Net::DNS 0.60 build 654 allows remote attackers
  to cause a denial of service (program "croak") via a crafted DNS
  response (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-6341). Packet
  parsing routines are now enclosed in eval blocks to trap exception
  and avoid premature termination of user program.

1. Update to version 0.62. If you are doing uncommon things including
directly frobbing packets or calling Net::DNS::RR->new_from_data()
(which you should not be doing anyway) then you should read the changelog
carefully and review/test your code before committing to this version.

2. Remove support for old Perl.

1. Upgrade to 0.61 which has a few small code cleanups.
2. --no-online-tests works now, so stop building them.
3. Remove support for prehistoric Perl.

Update to 0.60, which includes some important security fixes:

http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-3377
http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-3409

... as well as rudimentary support for IPSECKEY.
See /usr/local/share/doc/p5-Net-DNS/Changes for more details.

PR:             ports/114230
Submitted by:   Hirohisa Yamaguchi <umq@ueo.co.jp>

Update to 0.59, which mostly cleans up the PTR code.

1. Update to 0.58, which contains numerous small bug fixes, and new
functionality for DLV/DNSSEC.

2. Add virtual category ipv6

3. Add OPTIONS for IPV6, enabled by default.

4. Fix the test for WITH_IPV6, and move it out of the test for
${PERL_LEVEL} < 500800. On my system, the IPv6 libraries are not
(any longer?) installed by default with Perl 5.8. The test is
harmless if the libraries are there in any case, so remove the
pointless micro-optiimiztion.

Update to 0.57 (which contains no functional changes from 0.56),
and reenable the cryptographic features on Perl 5.005.

PR:             ports/94770
Submitted by:   leeym (thanks!)

Version 0.56, which contains a new method for the SPF RR, and
various bug fixes.

Upgrade to 0.55, an emergency release to fix a problem with TCP
sockets introduced in 0.54. Anyone who upgraded to 0.54 should
upgrade to this version ASAP.

upgrade to 0.54, which contains many bug fixes

work around the fact that the crypto features of this library
require dependencies which are not available to Perl < 5.6.2.

Add SHA256 checksums to my ports

Update to 0.53, which fixes a stray AFINET_6, and a few other bugs.

Upgrade to the eagerly anticipated 0.52. If you are using a version
of this module later than 0.49, you should definitely upgrade, as
this version fixes several bugs in the new code.

If running Perl < 5.6, make addition of the IPv6 modules optional
as 0.52 of this module fixes the bugs that made it mandatory.

Upgrade to 0.51, which fixes extra debugging that should not have
gone into the live version.

Also, 0.50 grew a dependency on Net-IP which was not recorded in the
Changes file, so add that explicitly. This was mentioned by several
people, including the current Net-DNS author, and the PR.

PR:             ports/82194
Submitted by:   Helge Oldach <p5netdnsjun05@oldach.net>

Upgrade to 0.50, the latest version. Usual assortment
of bug fixes, plus experimental IPv6 support (not
yet enabled).

Update to the latest version, mostly bug fixes.

Update to 0.48, a minor bugfix release.

Update to 0.47. The few small bug fixes can be found in the CHANGES file.

PR:             ports/66945
Submitted by:   Mark Foster <mark@foster.cc>

Update to 0.46, which has better IPv6 reverse DNS handling, and
all known 'taint mode' problems fixed.

PR:             ports/63841
Submitted by:   Tim Bishop <tim@bishnet.net>

Upgrade to 0.45. This version has major speed enhancements,
better handling of classes, and other cleanups.

Update to version 0.44, the latest available. Version 0.43 had the
actual substantive changes, 0.44 has some non-user-visible changes
to make CPAN.pm happy.

Power users of this module are encouraged to read the CHANGES file.
Most users shouldn't have problems with this upgrade.

Significant changes to the software:
1. Ongoing refinement of proper class inheritance/categorization.
2. Fix zone transfers with 'many-answer' format.
3. Finally "fixed" the .xs code, and accompanying Makefile.pl options
to work out of the box on both RELENG_4 and 5-current.
4. Added a Makefile.pl option to avoid the online tests.
5. Support for unknown RR types.

Changes to the port:
1. Take advantage of 3 and 4 above.
2. portlint doesn't like the word 'file' to appear in the Makefile, so
change it to 'doc' for the PORTDOCS install loop.

Update to version 0.42. Fixes a bug in Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse, and
adds capability for a persistent UDP socket.

Update to version 0.41, which contains several documentation and other
cleanups. Also, the removal of the Net::DNS::Resolver::axfr_old()
method.
