- Change the representation of a TSIG error from a byte to an int.

- Improve error messages from failed Lookups; treat SERVFAIL

as a temporary failure, not an unrecoverable error.

(Joseph Shraibman <[email protected]>)

1/16/2004

- The master file reader should propagate TTLs through $INCLUDE

statements. (David Blacka <[email protected]>)

1/12/2004

- Add a MANIFEST to the jar file containing implementation name and

version. (Harel Efraim <[email protected]>)

1/11/2004

- Fix a couple minor bugs found by FindBugs

(http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/bugs/)

1/8/2004

- 1.5.1 released.

- LOC records weren't parsed correctly.

(reported by Harel Efraim <[email protected]>)

- Lines with only whitespace in master files should be ignored.

12/15/2003

- TTLs weren't handled properly in the master file parser.

(Jack Tavares <[email protected]>)

12/11/2003

- 1.5.0 released.

12/8/2003

- Change to the BSD license.

- Replace the deprecated Name(String) and Name(String, Name)

constructors with new versions that properly return exceptions.

12/6/2003

- Make the J2SE javadoc link a property in build.xml. (Ville Skyttä)

11/24/2003

- Lookup should check that the name, type, and class in the question

section of a response match that of the query.

- SimpleResolver should check that the message id of the response

is the same as the message id of the query. On a sufficiently

busy client, sockets can be reused fast enough that late responses

can come in, and should be ignored.

(seen by Joseph Shraibman <[email protected]>)

11/17/2003

- The Lookup code didn't handle CNAMEs pointing at nonexistant names.

(reported by Joseph Shraibman <[email protected]>)

11/11/2003

- Store a weak reference to the Cache in the CacheCleaner thread, and

kill the thread when the Cache is finalized.

(suggested by Joseph Shraibman <[email protected]>)

- When a Lookup uses a null cache, the temporary cache it creates

should not have a CacheCleaner thread.

(based on a suggestion by Joseph Shraibman <[email protected]>)

10/31/2003

- Record.hashCode() didn't return consistent hash codes, and didn't

ignore the TTL (which it should, and which Record.equals() does).

10/27/2003

- DNS TTLs and other 32 bit unsigned values are now represented as

longs, not ints. This is an API change, but allows the full range

to be used.

- Add the Serial class for serial arithmetic.

9/30/2003

- 1.4.3 released.

- Fix a bit of code that required Java 1.4.

9/29/2003

- 1.4.2 released.

9/26/2003

- A Lookup shouldn't die when receiving a referral response; it should

return an error. (reported by Elinor Chang <[email protected]>)

- A Lookup should distinguish between timeouts and other network

errors.

- When parsing IP addresses from text format, treat the presence of

a leading zero on an octet as an error. It's unclear whether

it would be treated as decimal or octal, which means it should

be fixed. (reported by Marcos Sanz/Denic <[email protected]>)

9/17/2003

- Fix an off-by-one error in the Name code; labels of length 63

were not accepted (patch from David Blacka <[email protected]>)

9/2/2003

- 1.4.1 released.

9/1/2003

- The Update.delete(Record) method needs to reset the TTL of the cloned

record to 0. (reported by Edwin R. Rivera <[email protected]>)

8/23/2003

- Change Record.fromString() to expect an EOL/EOF token at the end

of the string, so that extraneous tokens can be detected. The master

file parser was updated to this change.

(noticed by Bob Halley <[email protected]>)

8/22/2003

- Changing TXTRecord.getStrings() from returning a List of Strings

to a List of byte []'s was a bad idea. Change it back, and

add TXTRecord.getStringsAsByteArrays().

(reported by Blake Ramsdell <[email protected]>)

8/21/2003

- 1.4.0 released.

8/20/2003

- Add the ReverseMap class, which contains functions to construct

names to be used in reverse map zones.

8/13/2003

- When looking up a one label unqualified name which fails to match

all searchlist entries, don't append the root label and try again.

This is recommended by RFC 1536, section 6: "Only if the name, so

generated, returns an NXDOMAIN is the original name tried as a Fully

Qualified Domain Name. And only if it contains at least one period."

7/18/2003

- Remove lots of unused imports. (Jared Richardson <[email protected]>)

7/14/2003

- Fix a long-existing bug where empty records (in update messages)

were incorrectly handled

(reported by Kevin C Miller <[email protected]>

6/22/2003

- DNS types and classes are now represented as ints, not shorts.

This is an API change, but allows the full type/class range

to be used.

6/18/2003

- Quoted strings didn't handle \ddd escapes.

6/17/2003

- Fix an ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException triggered by load balancing

in the ExtendedResolver.

(reported by Norbert Desautels <[email protected]>)

6/1/2003

- Add the Name.relativize() method to convert an absolute name to

a name relative to a specified origin.

- Add the Update class, which contains helper routines used to

construct dynamic update messages.

5/28/2003

- Replace org.xbill.DNS.utils.MyStringTokenizer with

org.xbill.DNS.Tokenizer, which is a far more robust and correct

DNS tokenizer. Convert everything to use it.

- Fix text format of TXT, NAPTR, and HINFO records.

5/28/2003

- When constructing a record, check that all names are absolute.

5/27/2003

- 1.3.3 released.

4/26/2003

- The master file parser should accept BIND format TTLs.

4/10/2003

- The Inet6Address class incorrectly parsed some addresses.

(reported by steve weiland <[email protected]>)

4/7/2003

- Records were not sorted properly (reported by

Joseph K Shraibman <[email protected]>)

4/2/2003

- Fix off-by-one error in Name.compareTo (David Blacka)

3/30/2003

- Add the ZoneTransferIn class, which performs incoming AXFR/IXFR

- Make TSIG verification of multiple-message responses reentrant.

- Fix incorrect string quoting.

- Make records print on a single line by default; add the 'multiline'

option to use the more verbose format.

3/17/2003

- Make the routine that converts an IP address from a string

more efficient and correct.

(based on a patch by Sean O'Neil <[email protected]>)

2/12/2003

- Fix an infinite loop that could occur when processing a response

containing a CNAME loop and an rcode of NOERROR.

(reported by Sean O'Neil <[email protected]>)

1/25/2003

- Cleanup and improvements to the ExtendedResolver class.

1/23/2003

- Add the setMaxCache() method to the Cache class.

- Check for non-absolute names when creating Records.

1/21/2003

- 1.3.2 released.

1/20/2003

- Certain responses with CNAMEs weren't being properly cached.

(reported by Sean O'Neil <[email protected]>)

- Add a 'compile' target to build.xml, and make the 'all' target

both compile and build the jar file.

(Jon Scott Stevens <[email protected]>)

12/22/2002

- Check for SecurityExceptions in the Options static initializer;

this was preventing the use of dnsjava in an unsigned applet.

(reported by Peter Westerink <[email protected]>).

12/15/2002

- Converting some types of records (TXT, for example) to wire format

could throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

- TSIG signed UDP queries weren't properly verified by jnamed.

- Add a method to render a Message with a specified maximum size -

this method will properly truncate large responses and apply

TSIG signatures.

12/14/2002

- Move additional data processing to the Record class from jnamed;

make jnamed use it, as well as the caching code.

12/9/2002

- Add the Lookup class, which is what the dns class should have been,

and make the lookup sample program use it.

12/9/2002

- When caching a message, a response object can be constructed

immediately.

12/4/2002

- 1.3.1 released.

12/3/2002

- If a subresolver of an ExtendedResolver exited by throwing

a RuntimeException, the ExtendedResolver would throw a
