MaraDNS changelog
       maradns-1.0.28:
           The reason why MaraDNS' recursive resolver has been freezing up is
           because of a bug in the Linux kernel that the kernel developers are
           not interested in resolving. I would like to thank Albert Lee for
           providing a patch which resolves this issue.

           (2005.05.06)

       maradns-1.0.27:

           * Patch to address possible security concern with the random number
             generator.

           * Some updates to the documentation

           (2005.05.02)

       maradns-1.1.34:

           * MaraDNS now supports stars at the end of hostnames. The only part
             of this feature that needs tobe implemented is the ability to
             correctly handle the case when someone asks for a hostname or
             record type that the star does not catch.

           (2005.04.30)

       maradns-1.1.33:

           * zoneserver now supports binding to multiple IP addresses

           (2005.04.18)

       maradns-1.1.32:

           * Patched 1.1 branch so that it compiles on older versions of GCC
             again

           * Made the ICANN list of root nameservers a default list, hardcoded
             in the MaraDNS code, if the user doesn't specify root servers in
             their mararc file. It is now possible to have a 3-line mararc
             file.

           * Updated the quickstart guide to use the 3-line mararc example.

           * Initialized variables that were uninitialized.

           * Modified the mararc parser to exit on a fatal error if an unknown
             mararc variable is seen.

           * Mofified the relevent zonefile parsing code to correctly parse
             the "default" zonefile (zone file with stars at end of
             hostnames).

           (2005.04.09)

       maradns-1.0.26:
           Changes from 1.0.25:

           * Small patch so MaraDNS will compile on older versions of GCC
             again

           (2005.03.25)

       maradns-1.1.31:
           Changes from 1.1.30:

           * Updated the zone file parser to improve (read: Make more
             pedantic) parsing of hostnames with '*' characters in them.

           * Removed all compile-time warnings.

           * New mararc variable, csv2_default_zonefile, created.

           (2005.03.25)

       maradns-1.1.30:
           Changes from 1.1.29:

           * Updated tutorial and list of ICANN root servers. Cleaned up root
             server lists in example mararcs (we no longer need long lines in
             mararc files)

           * Added verbose_query mararc variable

           (2005.03.16)

       maradns-1.0.25:
           Changes from 1.0.24:

           * Upgraded the ICANN root nameservers and other elements of the
             documentation

           * MaraDNS 1.0.xx compiles with no warning when compiled with -Wall
             again

           * Added verbose_query mararc variable

           (2005.03.16)

       maradns-1.1.29:
           Changes from 1.1.28:

           * Updated macro processor to make any and all '{' characters in
             zone files illegal. This will break csv2 zone files with '{'
             characters currently in them.

           * Updated install script to install duende tool and man page

           * Updated MaraDNS startup script to use duende to invoke MaraDNS

           * Updated the Quick Start guide and the MaraDNS man page to note
             duende daemonizing tool.

           * Added debugging output which will hopefully make the recursive
             server occassionally freezing problem reproducible and fixable.

           (2005.03.05)

       maradns-1.1.28:
           Changes from 1.1.27:

           * Fixed bug with loading of synthetic SOA records in CSV2 zone
             files

           * Updated roadmap to clarify goals for 1.2/2.0 release

           * Zoneserver sucessfully transferred a zone to Bind 8.4.6

           * Zoneserver sucessfully transferred a zone to Bind 9.2.4

           * Zoneserver sucessfully transferred a zone to Bind 9.3.0

           * Documentation for Duende tool updated to point out that the
             directory /etc/maradns/logger is mandatory for this tool

           * Incorporated Juergen's patch that installs the fetchzone tool and
             man page

           * alarm() call added to zoneserver to implement TCP timeout

           * askmara documentation cleaned up, improved

           (2005.02.26)

       maradns-1.1.27:
           Changes from 1.1.26:

           * The recursive resolver now works again (using 64-bit Y2038-safe
             timestamps, to boot).

           * Minor updates to documentation.

           (2005.02.24)

       maradns-1.1.26:
           Changes from 1.1.25:

           * Fixed bug where recursive server was outputting bad TTLs (I don't
             think this affects 1.0.xx)

           * Made a number of bug fixes to the zoneserver so that it correctly
             serves zones (and SOA records) as a zoneserver

           * Verified that the zoneserver works with the djbdns axfr client
             (axfr-get)

           * Updated askmara's output and updated fetchzone's csv2-compatible
             output

           (2005.02.23)

       maradns-1.1.25:
           Changes from 1.1.24:

           * Checked examples in TXT/RAW record documentation, making fixes to
             documentation and/or code as needed.

           * Corrected how askmara outputs TXT and raw records.

           * Added support for asking for arbitrary record types in askmara.
             Updated man page to reflect this change.

           * Changed examples in tutorial to not include SOA and NS records in
             example zone file; hopefully registars are no longer anal about
             this kind of thing.

           (2005.02.20)

       maradns-1.1.24:
           Changes from 1.1.23:

           * Fixed ej2man script to make correct ASCII single quotes in man
             pages.

           * Added csv2_txt manual page to document TXT and RAW records.

           * Added support for RAW (any RTYPE) records to the csv2 parser.

           * Updated tutorial to use csv2 records.

           * Minor updates to the web page (there was a minor blemish in the
             rock face texture which I surgically removed with Gimp).

           * Mac OS X/Darwin fix for 1.0.24 integrated in to this release.

           (2005.02.19)

       maradns-1.1.23:
           Changes from 1.1.22:

           * Added support for TXT records to the CSV2 zone file.

           * Added files to create the core maradns.org webpage to the
             documentation.

           (2005.02.16)

       maradns-1.0.24:
           Changes from 1.0.23:

           * Fixed the build process on MacOS X so it compiles again.

           * Fixed some non-critical typos in the configure script.

           (2005.02.15)

       maradns-1.1.22:
           Note: This revison changes the format of csv2 zone files from
           1.1.21; this will be the last incompatible change to csv2 zone
           files done. All future changes will be backwards compatible with
           csv2 zone files.

           * Fixed bug in csv2 parser where, when a newline causes a syntax
             error, the error is reported at the start of the new line instead
             of the end of the previous line.

           * Made sure dnames are converted to lowercase before being put in
             to the bighash

           * Got % shortcuts to work in the new csv2 zone files

           * csv2 records have the authority data (the NS records for the
             zone) added.

           * Synthesize ns records (have bogus names and have the NS ips be
             any non-private ip address we're bound to) if needed.

           * Added code to synthesize a SOA record for csv2 zone files without
             a SOA record.

           * Fixed bug that % doesn't work in dlabels in the data fields of an
             RR

           * There is a working example csv2 file which documents what the
             file does

           * Changed askmara to output records in csv2 format

           * Created fetchzone tool that outputs records in csv2 format

           * ej2man and ej2txt no longer use unicode for bullets

           * There is now a man page for csv2 and fetchzone.

           * Fixied bug with not being able to have UTF-8 at the beginning of
             a host name.

           * fixed %-only MX exchanger bug

           * a bind address can not be 0.0.0.0 if we have csv2 zone files (we
             now have support for binding to multiple IPs; 0.0.0.0 is a little
             buggy)

           * Moved TTL to be before the rtype to be more like Bind's and
             Posadis' zone files.

           * Moved TTL in fetchzone and askmara to be before the rtype.

           * Added support for SRV records; Sean is actually using these

           * Got the zoneserver to work with the new csv2 zone file (this took
             the lion's share of the work for the 1.1.22 release)

           * Integrated Juergen Daubert's latest cleanup patches

           (2004.06.30)

       maradns-1.1.21:

           * <code>show_esc_stdout</code> moved from parse/ParseCsv1.c to the
             more sensible libs/JsStrOS.c.

           * Code for parsing ipv6 addresses written (it took 355 lines to
             parse stuff like "ffe:501:ffff::b:c:d"; compare this to 125 lines
             for ddip_2_ip which does the ipv4 equivalent)

           * Support for CSV2 zone files is about 80% done; combined with the
             ipv6 address parsing, we're looking at 2348 new lines of code.

           (2004.06.18)

       maradns-1.1.20:
           (Release 1.1.19 skipped because that was an accidental release I
           did last October)

           * Changed tools to create utf-8 instead of Latin-1 man pages
             (Fedora Core Two does not like Latin-1 encoded man pages).

           * Added support for the += operator in the mararc file. This
             operator is use for string concatenation. The goal (along with
             the csv2 file format) is to make it so MaraDNS never needs a line
             longer than 80 colums in a configuration file.

           * Hopefully fixed bugs with mixed-case domain names.

           (2004.06.03)

       maradns-1.1.18:
           This is a merge of the features present in MaraDNS 1.0.23 but not
           in 1.1.17 in to the 1.1.xx branch. Additionally, I have some ideas
           for a new zone file format in doc/en/misc (more like, I have a full
           definition of a finite state machine complete with psudo-code for
           processing of everything in this new proposed zone file format).
           Compiles, but I don't know if this runs.

           (2004.06.01)

       maradns-1.0.23:
           Changes from 1.0.22:

           * Corrected error where askmara incorrectly outputted MX records

           * MaraDNS can now resolve star records when processing ANY queries

           * The RD value in replies is now the same as the RD in the
             corresponding query

           * Fixed some typos in old changelog entries

           (2004.05.28)

       maradns-1.0.22:
           Changes from 1.0.21:

           * Applied Juergen Daubert's patch that makes MaraDNS compile clean,
             even with all warnings enabled.

           * Added testing for the zoneserver to the SQA suite

           * Fixed a problem where the zone server would die after serving
             MAXFD zones.

           (2004.05.25)

       maradns-1.0.21:
           This is MaraDNS 1.0.20 with a patch that solves an error one user
           reported with the parsing of zone files.

           (2004.04.13)

       maradns-1.0.20:
           This is MaraDNS 1.0.18 with a patch to allow gnu.org to resolve
           again.  This is the "no frills, just stay stable" branch of
           MaraDNS.

           (2003.10.02)

       maradns-1.1.18:
           This is simply a new release which indicates my decision to
           completely rewrite the recursive portion of MaraDNS. The old
           recursive code is removed; I hope to have time to work on the new
           recursive code soon.

           (2003.10.02)

       maradns-1.0.19:
           This is a test release which addresses a number of issues people on
           the list have brought up:

           * Doug Sampson a pointed out that the server gives out compression
             errors and freezes. I have replaced the compression code with the
             cleaner compression code from the 1.1.xx branch; this will
             hopefully address this issue.

           * Andrew pointed out that the zoneserver does not give out adequate
             error messages when there is a problem opening up a zone file, or
             when there is a fatal parse error in a zone file. I have added
             appropriate error messages to the zone server.

           * Juergen Daubert provided a patch to make Mara's compile generate
             less warnings.

           * A problem with the ORSC entries being out of date was brought up.
             I can not look up the current entries (being offline), but have
             changed all of the example files to use the ICANN entries by
             default, since ICANN is the only root server registry who has
             root servers with stable enough IPs for "set and forget"
             environments.

           * I myself found some problems where timeouts for PTR and AAAA
             queries can slow down poorly-written clients. As a result,
             MaraDNS now has the ability to optionally instantly give dummy
             "not there" replies to either PTR or AAAA queries (or both).

           * Some minor updates and clean-up to the documentation.

           (2003.08.03)

       maradns-1.1.17:
           Recursive queries now work again; fixed a place which was using a
           32-bit value to get a timestamp, when the code in question should
           have used a josa_timestamp (64-bit) value.

           Additionally, it is now possible to use this program as a non-root
           user again.

           (2003.06.13)

       maradns-1.0.18:
           Cleaned up and fixed a bug in the MaraDNS startup script. Now, the
           only prorcesses that will be killed will be bona fide MaraDNS
           processes.

           (2003.05.30)

       maradns-1.0.17:
           Strnlen seems to not be a portable call after all (the BSDs don't
           have it); this version has a special js_strnlen call to make up for
           this.

           (2003.04.18)

       maradns-1.0.16:
           This is MaraDNS 1.0.15 declared "stable" (well, as stable as
           1.0.13).  The only change from 1.0.15 is more debugging information
           in case an unreproducable bug which one user reported pops up
           again.

           (2003.03.16)

       maradns-1.0.15:
           This is MaraDNS 1.0.14 with a good deal more stress testing done to
           the recursive resolver. There does not appear to be any obvious
           memory leaks; nor are there any stability issues with this release
           of MaraDNS.  That said, I am, at present, marking the release
           "beta" until there is more field testing of the release.

           (2003.02.28)

       maradns-1.0.14:
           This is not a production release of MaraDNS. This is a beta-test
           release of MaraDNS which has the ptr-over-cname fix from the 1.1.xx
           branch backported to the 1.0.xx branch. In addition, the code has
           been modified to no longer use strlen().

           Use this code at your own risk. While I have stress-tested this
           code for stability, this code has not been field tested yet.

           That said, it does fix the long-standing bug with correctly
           resolving PTR records which are CNAME referrals. I want to see some
           people help me beta-test this, so that I can make a more general
           release of this bugfix available.

           (2003.02.23)

       maradns-1.0.13:
           This release of MaraDNS is dedicated to the seven brave astronauts
           who died this morning on the Columbia space shuttle:

           * Willie McCool

           * Rick Husband

           * Kalpana Chawla

           * Laurel Clark

           * Michael Anderson

           * David Brown

           * Ilan Ramon

           These people died expanding the boundaries of humanity's next
           frontier; may their deaths not be in vain and may humanity
           eventually conquer space.

           This is MaraDNS 1.0.12 with a one-line bugfix for a bug the last
           release of MaraDNS introduced. This only matters for people who
           have zonefiles with no records in them (besides the SOA and NS
           records for the domain head).

           (2003.02.01)

       maradns-1.1.16:
           D Richard Felker III, who knows more about the arcane mysteries of
           UNIX pipes than myself, showed me how to get duende to catch the
           stuff sent to standard error also.

           Duende's manual page has been proffread and updated.

           (2003.01.29)

       maradns-1.1.15:
           I have given up, for now, on trying to catch both stdout and
           stderr.

       maradns-1.1.14:
           The daemonizing helper has been renamed 'duende' (Spanish for
           'daemon', consistant with the Spanish theme MaraDNS has, it is said
           like 'dwen-deh'), and now sets up a second child process which
           syslog()s all of maradns' various messages. Also added new
           timestamp format with no timestamp whatsoever to eliminate
           redundant timestamp when using duende helper.

           (2003.01.27)

       maradns-1.1.13:
           MaraDNS now has a daemonizing helper which makes MaraDNS a daemon,
           then stays around. If either the daemonizing helper or MaraDNS
           (even MaraDNS 1.0.xx) gets a HUP signal, MaraDNS is restarted. If
           either process gets a TERM or an INT signal, both processes exit.
           If MaraDNS exits for any other reason besides a HUP signal, the
           daemonizer restarts MaraDNS.

           (2003.01.25)

       maradns-1.1.12:
           MaraDNS now has her own timestamp code which should get rid of any
           Y2038 problems; on systems with 32-bit time_t, the problems are
           pushed forward to 2112 (and can be pushed forward indefinitely by
           changing only two magic constants and recompiling). Note: This
           means the code only works on systems with an int64_t; are there any
           significant Unix systems deployed which people may wish to use Mara
           on without int64 support at this point?

           (2003.01.22)

       maradns-1.1.11:
           MaraDNS has support for DNS record resurrection; this means that
           she can now use expired records if no DNS server can be contacted
           for a given host name

           (2003.01.17)

       maradns-1.0.12:
           MaraDNS with the following seven patches applied:

           * Records with CNAMEs should resolve more nicely on slow links
             (maradns-1.0.11-incomplete.cname.patch)

           * Askmara man page updated to say default DNS server address is
             127.0.0.3 (maradns-1.0.11.askmara-man.patch)

           * Recursive server no longer wastes time with in-bailiwick glueless
             NS referrals (maradns-1.0.11-bailiwick.patch)

           * References to nslookup in the documentation have been removed, or
             changed to note that nslookup is obsolete (maradns-1.0.11.no-
             nslookup.patch)

           * Fixed problem that Ray reported with empty zone files (zone files
             with only SOA and NS records) (maradns-1.0.11-raybug.patch)

           * Fixed very slight problem with how the RNG was seeded, should not
             affect most installations of MaraDNS
             (maradns-1.0.11-rngseed.patch)

           * Patch to work around admins who use a dot instead of an @ in the
             RNAME field for SOA record (maradns-1.0.11-soamail.patch)

           (2003.01.15)

       maradns-1.1.10:
           MaraDNS is now able to bind to multiple IP addresses. In addition,
           I have set up a signal handler so that MaraDNS can exit with a
           return code of 8 when she gets a HUP signal.

           The way MaraDNS binds to multiple IP addresses is by having a
           socket for each IP address, and a select() call which determines
           which socket someone connected to. Since the select() has a
           timeout, I was able to set up the HUP signal handler to only change
           a global variable.

           Proper HUP signal handling will be handled by a daemonizer wrapper,
           which I will write next.

           (2003.01.10)

       maradns-1.1.09:
           Some improvments to DNS-over-TCP:

           * It is now possible to have permission to only forward a query
             over TCP without being able to transfer zone file.

           * It is now possible to use an old zoneserver mararc with the new
             zoneserver.

           * The feature has now been documented (albeit only sparsely in the
             mararc man page)

           (2003.01.10)

       maradns-1.1.08:
           It is now possible to use zoneserver to forward TCP DNS queries to
           a UDP DNS server; this gives MaraDNS full TCP DNS support.

           (2003.01.07)

       maradns-1.1.07:
           Not extensively tested, but following CNAMEs to PTR records now
           works.

           (2002.12.25)

       maradns-1.0.11:
           This release changes the decompressor so that it works with packets
           which some zoneservers with large zone files generate.

           There is also some minor revisions to the documentation.

           (2002.12.17)

       maradns-1.0.10:
           This release fixes a bug with the RP definition so that the
           decompressor can accept a DNS packet with this RR type. In other
           words, this release resolves the problem Danny saw.

           In addition, I have done some documentation clean-up, fixing the
           problems that Christian saw in the documentation; the most
           significant change is that the root servers for various root server
           networks have been updated.

           (2002.11.30)

       maradns-1.0.09:
           This release backports the 1.1.06 improvments to the 1.0.xx branch
           of MaraDNS.

           (2002.11.15)

       maradns-1.1.06:
           This realease updates the FAQ, some other information, and has some
           minor cleanups performed to the code.

           (2002.10.24)

       maradns-1.1.05:
           This release has the same decompression patch which the 1.0.08
           release has. In addition, this release has the test_zoneserver and
           test_getzone tools, just in case anyone ever sees problems with
           getzone again.

           (2002.10.05)

       maradns-1.0.08:
           The release fixes the problems which getzone which Marc Schneiders
           and Nikos Mavroyanopoulos reported. I would like to thank both
           people for reporting these problems.

           The problems were caused by the fact that the new decompression
           code did not expect the kind of packets which zoneserver generate;
           I have patched the new decompression code.

           (2002.10.05)

       maradns-1.1.04:
           This release incorporates TTL aging, and Jonathan's code which
           makes this run as a Win9x service (note: BSD copyrighted code with
           the obnoxious advertising clause; we may have to do something about
           that before this becomes stable code)

           (2002.09.01)

       maradns-1.0.07:
           I would like to thank Scott Cooper for working hard to find the
           cause of a bothersome crash which people have been reporting for
           about a month. This release, hopefully, fixes the crashing problem
           once and for all.

           In addition, I have put back all of the improvments to the
           authoritative half which MaraDNS between 0.9.06 and 1.0.05 had;
           this version undoes the reverting I did for 1.0.06 (which I only
           did because problems started popping up two days before a two-week
           vacation I had in M©xico).

           (2002.08.26)

       maradns-1.0.06:
           Johan is seeing stability problems with MaraDNS' authoritative half
           which MaraDNS 0.9.06 does not have; this patch essentially reverts
           the authoritative half to what MaraDNS 0.9.06 had.

           This hopefully fixes the stability problems; I am alas in a
           position to properly test this.

           (2002.07.30)

       maradns-1.0.05:
           Simple one-line change which allows MaraDNS to compile on Cygwin.
           Calling this release a "stable" release.

           (2002.07.28)

       maradns-1.1.02:
           The following improvments over MaraDNS 1.1.01:

           * All improvments made for MaraDNS 1.0.04 have been integrated in
             to the development branch.

           * A bug which caused MaraDNS 1.1.01 to seg fault has been fixed

           * This version of MaraDNS now supports human-readable timestamps

           (2002.07.18)

       maradns-1.0.04:
           MaraDNS 1.0.03 with the following patches:

           * Jon's patch which allows any arbitrary size for the debug memory
             allocation checking hash.

           * Christian's improved German translations.

           * Franky's improvments to recursive.c

           * Richard's changes which allow MaraDNS to compile on Cygwin
             (again)

           (2002.07.14)

       maradns-1.1.01:
           The first (real) release of the new development tree. This is
           MaraDNS 1.0.02 with a new license (simple BSD-style license which
           will hopefully attract developers scared off by the "Public Domain
           opens you up to lawsuits" FUD) and a newly rewritten compression
           engine.

           (2002.07.14)

       maradns-1.0.03:
           Franky's second release. This contains the following improvements:

           * Removed the thread limit of 125 (changed it to 500 because a
             limit is always needed)

           * Removed the Solaris-refuses-to-run-recursive limitation

           * Changed the locking scheme; all memory leaks seem to vanish using
             the new scheme.

           * Fixed some minor memory leaks

           (2002.07.12)

       maradns-1.0.02:
           This is a release of my own. This 1.0.01 with the following
           changes:

           * An audit was done on the decompression code. While no exploitable
             security problems were found, some clean up to make things more
             consistent was done.

           * A patch which tells us the IP from which a packet the
             decompresser didn't like was sent.

           * A patch which shows us the packet before decompressing it at a
             sufficiently high log level.

           * A patch which fixes a bug when the last record in the DNS packet
             had a rdlength of 0; the decompressor previously erroneously
             rejected these packets.

           (2002.06.30)

       maradns-1.0.01:
           This is Franky's first release. Mainly, some more minor memory
           leaks plugged.

           The only changes I made were some touch ups to the documentation,
           and added a copy of Franky's GPG key signed with the MaraDNS
           signing key.

           (2002.06.26)

       maradns-0.5.33:
           Now that 1.0.00 is released, I am deprecating the 0.5.xx branch.
           The only updates to this branch will be to fix bugs worth
           disclosing on Bugtraq. In other words, security bugs.

           If anyone wants to maintain this branch of MaraDNS, let me know.

           This release back ports some cleanup I did with dns/Queries.c which
           also applies to the 0.5.xx branch.

           (2002.06.21)

       maradns-1.0.00: (released as close to 2002's solstice as possible)
           It's here. Happy solstice everyone!

           MaraDNS 0.9.92 with the following patches:

           * Yet another memleak patch

           * Patch which properly initializes the header data structure

           * Franky patch (modified) to fix things up

           * Neale's maragen added to the tree

           (2002.06.21)

       maradns-0.9.92: (1.0 release candidate 2)

           MaraDNS 0.9.91 with the following patches:

           * Neale's patch which fixes a small problem in the install.sh
             script

           * Franky's patch which fixes up the locks

           * My patch to a possible memory leak that Franky found

           (2002.06.15)

       maradns-0.9.91: (1.0 release candidate 1)

           MaraDNS 0.9.39 with the following patches:

           * Franky's patch which fixes a problem with the thread locking (The
             "Small Fix" patch)

           * Patch which fixes the recent rcode problems

           * Patch which limits the number of threads to 125

           * Patch which removes compile-time warnings

           * Patch which adds note in documtation that MaraDNS doesn't handle
             in-bailiwick glueless NS referrals very well.

           (2002.06.12)

       maradns-0.9.39:

           MaraDNS 0.9.38 with the following patches:

           * Franky's patch which reworks some of the locks. Seems to mimimize
             the thread overlap problems.

           * Patch which warns us if we unlock when there is no thread locked.

           * Patch which plugs a memory leak in Decompress.c.

           (2002.06.10)

       maradns-0.9.38:

           Added code to check the pthread locking status and to exit if it
           doesn't return a sucessful exit code.

           Removed timestamp format which allows us to see the PID; this was
           only needed for debugging purposes.

           Added comment in the MaraDNS source explaining why 200 is a
           reasonable maximum number of threads; that is about how many
           simutanious threads the underlying pthread library can handle.

           (2002.06.08)

       maradns-0.9.37:

           This is MaraDNS 0.9.36 with the following patches:

           * maradns-0.9.36.dotafter.patch: Fixes problems with the "dot after
             .com"

           * maradns-0.9.36.decompress.patch: Fixes problems decompressing TXT
             records

           * maradns-0.9.36.cleanup.patch: Clean up recursive code; stops
             potential release of lock

           * maradns-0.9.36.bind.patch: MaraDNS now tries 10 times to bind to
             a port; should make her handle medium-to-high loads better

           * maradns-0.9.36.showpid.patch: Gives new option to show_timestamp
             to show the process ID.

           Also: Minor doc change (to document the new timestamp format);
           updated RPM spec, changelog, and download page

           (2002.06.07)

       maradns-0.9.36:

           The new decompression code now works. Enabling it so people can
           test it.

           (2002.06.05)

       maradns-0.9.35:

           Improved RPM spec files

           The new decompression code is finished, but is not fully debugged
           yet (so it is disabled for this release).

           Code cleanups which should resolve the infinite loops Franky is
           seeing

           (2002.06.04)

       maradns-0.9.34:

           Yet another debug release; numerous small bug fixes and cleanups.
           MaraDNS now builds correctly when the locale of outputted messages
           is set to Spanish or German again. A bug where MaraDNS would crash
           in a certain very unusual case has been fixed.

           (2002.05.31)

       maradns-0.9.33:

           Another debug release; numerous small bug fixes. The most notable
           is the plugging of what appears to be the last memory leak in the
           recursive code; hopefully all I have to do for 1.0.00 at this point
           is the new decompression code and the release candidates.

           (2002.05.21)

       maradns-0.9.32:

           Another debug release; the code which keeps track of unallocated
           memory has been redone. Now memory leak tracking causes a minimum
           of slowdown when running MaraDNS; and the code works again.

           In addition, some minor touchups have been done to the code.

           (2002.05.19)

       maradns-0.9.31:

           Begin work on new decompression code (still using old decompression
           code until new code is complete)

           Fixing open socket leaks in recursive code, and case-sensitivity
           issues in the askmara code.

           (2002.05.18)

       maradns-0.9.30:

           Another bug fix release: Fixed bug where RRs with obscenely long
           TTLs would "wrap around" and end up having a negative TTL (causing
           the record to be promptly erased from the cache). Now the maximum
           TTL is two years long.

           Added a little more in the way of debugging messages to try to get
           to the bottom of the temporary freeze-ups that Franky is seeing.

           (2002.05.17)

       maradns-0.9.29:

           Bug fix release: Fix bug where hosts that were in bailiwick were,
           at times, rejected as being out of bailiwick.

           (2002.05.15)

       maradns-0.9.28:

           Added new level of verbosity, 4, which records every time we add or
           remove a record from the cache

           (2002.05.13)

       maradns-0.9.27:

           timestamp_type feature added; it is now easy for people to add new
           timestamp types; this seems to be a popular request ever since
           MaraDNS had added timestamps.

           (2002.05.10)

       maradns-0.5.32:

           Backport of fixes to compression code to the 0.5.xx branch.

           (2002.05.10)

       maradns-0.9.26:

           Hot fix: The compression code was completely broken in MaraDNS
           0.9.25 because I accidently made an integer which needs to be
           signed unsigned. Fixed.

           (2002.05.09)

       maradns-0.9.25:

           Bug fix: I finally have gotten to the bottom of the compression
           problems MaraDNS was having with news.com.com; this release fixes
           the problems, hopefully once and for all.

           I also have a document which describes some of the function calls
           the new decompression code will have.

           (2002.05.09)

       maradns-0.9.24:

           Bug fixes:

           * DNS records with a TTL of less than 30 seconds now have a visible
             TTL of 30 seconds. This is to work around stub resolvers (such as
             Mozilla's stub resolver) which can not resolve RRs with extremely
             short TTLs.

           * Lines which are too long in mararc files now return a properly
             formatted error message.

           I have begun work on the new decompressor; however no changes have
           been made to the actual compression code yet. However, there are
           now documents that specify how the new decompression will work and
           header files which the new decompression code will use.

           (2002.05.08)

       maradns-0.9.23:

           Bug fix: The mara.startup script now points to the same file
           location as the default install.location. Note that the startup
           script needs to be changed if moving the install location.

           Updated spec and patch file to build RPM for the current MaraDNS
           build; it has been too long since the last RPM release.

           Trivia: Cinco de Mayo celebrates a battle that Mexico won in 1862
           in Puebla, Mexico (I visited the site of the battle several times
           when I was down there; it is a beautiful eucalyptus forest, having
           a beautiful fountain and planetarium) against the French. As it
           turned out, the French won the war, but Mexico won that one battle,
           which has been celebrated since then. Also, with the exception of
           Puebla, Cinco de Mayo is not a big holiday in Mexico; only in the
           US.

           Created list of issues to be resolved before the 1.0 release of
           MaraDNS; once these are done, I will start a 0.99.x branch; which I
           will publically announce.

           Added kludge to work around unreproducable problems where the
           compressor can not always compress a DNS packet

           Added link to glassary entries in the tutorial every time the
           tutorial intoduces a new term.

           (2001.05.04)

       maradns-0.9.21:

           Fixed bug where the minimum TTL for CNAME entires could not be
           separately set.

           Added stub resolver which generates unix timestamps as bogus A
           records; used for testing.

           Added FAQ entry about MaraDNS' time stamp format.

           (2002.05.02)

       maradns-0.9.20:

           Changed udperror so that it will tell us from where udperror was
           called; this will hopefully help me fix the news.com.com problems
           MaraDNS is having.

           Added time stamp to some logged requests and added source IP
           logging.

           Added the ability for a remote query to get MaraDNS' internal
           timestamp; this is only enabled at obscenely high levels of
           debug_msg_level, since it is a security risk (there are attacks
           which are more effective if we know the target's clock value).

           Minimum TTL and Minimum TTL for CNAME records is now user-
           customizable.

           (2001.04.24)

       maradns-0.9.19:

           Added download.html to maradns.org web pages which are converted
           here; this allows the pages which change most frequently on
           maradns.org to be changed offline.

           Added FAQ Q&A about a problem that someone was having; hopefully
           the next user with the problem will be able to use this
           information.

           Added incomplete ej2dbk converter which converts from ej to
           docbook.  This is incomplete; after MaraDNS 1.0 I will add code
           which closes open tags and what not so the generated docbook is
           100% legal.

           (2001.04.16)

       maradns-0.9.18:

           Fixed a bug in askmara where non-ASCII characters were not properly
           replaced by escape sequences.

           Updated EJ documentation tools so that they can now generate
           webpages in the same format as the web pages on www.maradns.org.

           (2002.03.25)

       maradns-0.9.17:

           Added a minor new feature (since it was trivial to add, and since
           it is a feature which greatly expands the functionality that
           MaraDNS has): upstream_servers. This allows MaraDNS to be used to
           contact other recursive servers when run in recursive mode.

           Further bugfixing and revision of the debug.hostname tool; it now
           will not get stuck in endless loops trying to resolve a given
           hostname.

           (2002.03.14)

       maradns-0.9.16:

           Converted encoding of all files in the MaraDNS source tree from ISO
           8859-1 to UTF-8 (with the exception of one file in the utf8
           directory which is supposed to be ISO 8859-1 data). Fixed EJ tools
           so that they can work on a current (as of early 2002; RedHat 7.2)
           Linux system using the UTF-8 encoding without undue hassle.

           Fixed bug in debug.hostname where it would not resolve host names
           in certain circumstances.

           (2002.03.12)

       maradns-0.9.15:

           Added '-n' option to askmara so askmara can send the same kinds of
           DNS queries that recursive DNS servers send out (DNS queries that
           do not ask for recursion)

           Fixed bug where 'make install' would overwrite
           /etc/rc.d/init.d/maradns

           Changed maxprocs limit to 200 and made it so exceeding maxprocs
           does not cause MaraDNS to stop; instead maxprocs is reset to 200.

           (2002.03.06)

       maradns-0.9.14:

           Rewrote debug.hostname tool; this will allow me to set up the
           testbed to find the more obscure MaraDNS bugs.

           (2002.03.03)

       maradns-0.9.13:

           Fixed bug where debug_msg_level could only be changed if recursion
           was enabled.

           Changed stress testing simulation to simulate network lag in
           processing DNS replies.

           Made maxprocs have a hard limit of 100; making maxprocs have a
           value of 400 results in MaraDNS hanging on Linux systems.

           (2002.02.25)

       maradns-0.9.12:

           Cleanups performed so that all files to be audited to be compiled
           with -Wall enabled without generating any warnings.

           Fixed ej2txt so that it no longer generates utf-8 quotes.

           (2002.02.19)

       maradns-0.9.11:

           Fixed bug where CNAME records obtained from the cache would not
           work with stub resolvers, since the code changed the question in
           the question section of the reply.

           'make debug' now works again.

           (2002.02.11)

       maradns-0.9.10:

           Fixed bug of case where there is a CNAME record, and something
           happened when trying to get an A record for the CNAME record.
           Previously, MaraDNS would think the CNAME record had no A record
           until the CNAME record was purged from the cache. Now, MaraDNS is
           smart enough to store CNAME records with an A record of "a 'no such
           host' reply was found when we looked for an A record"; and CNAME
           records without any corresponding A record only stay in the cache
           for 30 seconds.

           If data is already in the cache for a given record, and the data
           has not expired, then there is no need to spawn a thread to process
           the record; now MaraDNS no longer does this. This should result in
           greater stability and less memory usage, since many operating
           systems do threads poorly.

           askmara now can have a user-defined timeout

           compile flags changed from -g to -O2

           (2002.02.11)

       maradns-0.9.09:

           Added data_structures.ej document, which describes the internal
           data structures that MaraDNS uses.

           Updated the mararc man page to describe the new debug_msg_level
           variable

           Added files needed to make MaraDNS RPM files in the build/
           directory.

           (2002.01.27)

       maradns-0.9.08:

           Fixed another bug in the ej2man script; it now correctly zaps
           blockquotes inside ul.../ul lists.

           Made changelog an ej-compatible document; this allows the changelog
           to be an ASCII text file instead of an HTML file which a lot of
           UNIX-heads will prefer.

           Verified that MaraDNS 0.9.07 compiles on Darwin (a.k.a. Mac OS X)
           "out of the box"; this means that MaraDNS now compiles "out of the
           box" on Solaris; Linux; and Darwin. It also should compile on
           Cygwin; alas I do not have a working cygwin setup to verify this
           on. Between these four OSes, we cover all of the major flavors of
           UNIX: Linux is a little of everything; Solaris is a "System V"
           UNIX; Darwin is a BSD UNIX clone; and Cygwin is a pure POSIX
           implementation.

           (2002.01.25)

       maradns-0.9.07:

           Added new runtime parameter which can be seen when debug messages
           are enabled: The number of elements in the DNS cache.

           Added Makefile template which is a generate Makefile for systems
           which do not have flock() support; make this Makefile the default
           Makefile (instead of the Linux Makefile).

           (2002.01.24)

       maradns-0.9.06:

           Fixed bug in maradns startup script where the script would not
           correctly restart the MaraDNS processes.

           New mararc parameter added: debug_msg_level; this sets the level of
           information we can get about a running MaraDNS process by sending
           special DNS queries to MaraDNS.

           (2002.01.23)

       maradns-0.9.05:

           Revamping of the build process; placing most build-related files in
           a directory named "build"; MaraDNS now compiles and installs
           cleanly on Solaris; MaraDNS now has a system startup script which
           MaraDNS invokes at system startup time.

           (2002.01.21)

       maradns-0.9.04:

           Another documentation fix. Added new EJ tag: DTWIDTH

           This version now compiles on Solaris; and should compile on Darwin.

           (2002.01.18)

       maradns-0.9.03:

           Integrated Christian's spelling corrections and German translations
           in to the MaraDNS documentation.

           Minor bugfixes with the ej2man script.

           (2002.01.17)

       maradns-0.9.02:

           Document reorganization: MaraDNS now uses a new document format, EJ
           (which I created myself for MaraDNS documentation usage), which can
           be converted in to HTML documents, text documents, or in to man
           page sources. By having a stramlined documentation format, MaraDNS'
           documentation will be easier to manage, and easier to translate.

           Since the ej format allows other files to be embedded in documents,
           this eliminates having to revise multiple versions of the same
           document

           (2002.01.16)

       maradns-0.5.31:

           Backporting of compression security patch to the MaraDNS 0.5.xx
           branch.

           (2002.01.10)

       maradns-0.9.01:

           Fixed security problem with the compression code which I found when
           performing an audit on the code. Other cleanup of the compression
           code.

           Updated the French documentation.

           Added some more information to the MaraDNS tutorial.

           Added (currently untested) Darwin (a.k.a. MacOS X) support.

           (2002.01.10)

       maradns-0.9.00:

           Plugged some memory leaks in the recursive code.

           Added Thomas Seyrat's French translation of the documentation

           Completed the tutorial

           Fixed bug where the zoneserver needed the mararc file specified to
           start.

           Updated documentation

           (2002.01.06)

       maradns-0.8.99a:

           OK, so I was wrong about the first post-0.8.99 release being
           MaraDNS 0.9.00.

           This is simply MaraDNS 0.8.99 with a 2-line patch which fixes a
           problem where MaraDNS 0.8.99 would crash.

           (2001.12.17)

       maradns-0.8.99:

           Since I found a some security problems when working on the
           MaraDNS-0.9.00 release, I am making this release available which
           appears to addresses the security problems.

           Changes since 0.8.35:

           * Jaakko's patch, in a modified form, has been applied.

           * Documentation touchups.

           * Askmara timeout increased.

           * Solaris recursive support dropped until I can get my hands on my
             Solaris CDs (and a PC to install Solaris on) in January (Solaris
             still has bugs which do not exist in Linux).

           * Updated test bed to handle NS referrals which point nowhere

           * Found and fixed a bug where MaraDNS would not close UDP
             connections when sendto returned an error

           * Fixed a problem that mhash_put_data had, where the DNS cache
             could become inconsistant in certain circumstances.

           * Fixed two other spots in recursive.c (in two of the add_closer
             routines) which could have potentially caused inconsistant data
             in the cache.

           * Got remove.rng to work again.

           I have changed the version number to maradns-0.8.99 to reflect the
           fact that the next release will almost certaintly be MaraDNS
           0.9.00.

           (2001.12.08)

       maradns-0.8.35:

           Made the stress tests in sqa/testbed more extensive; they now crash
           recursive MaraDNS versions up to and including 0.8.33.

           Found and plugged some memory leaks that MaraDNS had.

           Verified that MaraDNS can handle the stress tests--MaraDNS was able
           to handle 80.000 queries without crashing, and without growing
           after 10.000 or so queries were processed.

           (2001.11.17)

       maradns-0.8.34:

           Found and removed another crash-inducing bug.

           Modified askmara so that it generates somewhat csv1-compatible
           output. Also modified the debug.hostname tool so that it can handle
           the new askmara output.

           (2001.11.16)

       maradns-0.8.33:

           Yipee! No, I'm not talking about the fact that the evil Taliban are
           no longer in control of Kabul. I am talking about the fact that I
           found and removed another crasher bug in MaraDNS.

           I hope that this is the last crasher bug. Time to cross my fingers.

           (2001.11.13)

       maradns-0.8.32:

           This is the third beta test candidate for the recursive MaraDNS,
           since people are reporting serious stability problems with MaraDNS
           0.8.30 and MaraDNS 0.8.31. While I am unable to reporduce the
           problems offline, I was able to reproduce the problem online (but
           only intermittently), and found some iffy-looking code which may be
           the root of the problem.

           This program passes all offline stress tests.

           Also added an entry to the FAQ which answers an unrelated question
           posted to the mailing list, and added the changelog to the list of
           files placed in the MaraDNS doc directory when a 'make install' is
           performed.

           (2001.11.13)

       maradns-0.8.31:

           This is the second beta test candidate for the recursive MaraDNS,
           since I found some bugs after releasing MaraDNS 0.8.30. See the
           release notes for MaraDNS 0.8.30 for more on the beta starus of
           MaraDNS.

           Looking through the source code of the revamped hash structure, I
           found a routine which was not revamped. This would cause a bug in
           the case of having two or more zone files which happen to hash to
           the same value--only one of the zone files would load. Fixed. I
           also deleted some routines which were based on the old hash
           structure.

           I have modified MaraDNS so the csv1 hash no longer needs to be
           initialized, since the csv1 hash does nothing but waste memory in
           recursive-only MaraDNS configurations.

           I have added another parameter: timeout_seconds, which is how long
           to wait for a remote DNS server to reply. This is mainly useful for
           slow networks which need more than two seconds to get a reply from
           a DNS server. Note that the larger this is, the slower MaraDNS
           answers queries when a DNS server doesn't respond to DNS requests.

           In addition, I have begun work on the tutorial, which currently
           describes how to use MaraDNS in recursive mode, and gives an
           overview of DNS.

           (2001.11.12)

       maradns-0.8.30:

           This is a beta test candidate for the recursive version of MaraDNS.
           Which means that the only changes I will make between now and the
           first beta release are essential bug fixes (e.g. bugs not mentioned
           in the man page), and a basic DNS tutorial, since I have received
           two emails of the form "I don't know how to do this DNS stuff, and
           could use some help".

           The bad news is that, because of the excess of greedy lawyers in
           the US, I have added the legal disclaimer to all of the man pages
           for MaraDNS, and, in addition, the legal disclaimer appears when
           MaraDNS is started.

           The good news is that it is possible to have MaraDNS not show the
           legal disclaimer when opening up; MaraDNS tells you how to do this
           when showing the disclaimer.

           The better news is that I have done a major revamping of the
           MaraHash structure. This structure is a structure that can both
           handle records being added, and being removed from the hash.
           MaraDNS, as far as I can tell from my offline tests, is now a great
           deal more stable as a result.

           In addition, I found another memory leak in the recursive code,
           which I have plugged.

           I have also performed some more documentation touch-ups.

           (2001.11.10)

       maradns-0.8.29:

           OK, this is a "band-aid" release of MaraDNS. As I was debugging the
           problem with MaraDNS crashing with the new custodian, I discovered
           that the hash code is fundamentally broken. Hence, I need to a
           major revamp to the hash code. In short, the hash needs to have
           each hash spot point to a linked list of elements.

           In the meantime, I performed a band-aid fix to the hash that, while
           not fixing the problem, makes the problem slightly less bothersome.
           This is an interim release until I can really fix the problem this
           weekend.

           Updated the FAQ to reflect the slightly changed procedure for
           joinging the MaraDNS mailing list ("subscribe" now has to be in the
           subject line when one wants to join the list).

           (2001.11.08)

       maradns-0.8.28:

           I fixed a bug in the fila-handling code where chains of records
           were not being correctly put at the top of the list.

           I am still receiving reports that MaraDNS freezes up after running
           for a while. I am unable to reproduce this problem. I have
           carefully checked the recursive code for potential deadlocks,
           finding none.

           I suspect that there is a certain query which causes thie problem.
           Theirfore, I have added the ability for MaraDNS to log all queries
           she receives in human-readable format if verbose_level is three or
           higher.

           While this results in some really huge logs, this will hopefully
           allow me to pin down exactly which query causes MaraDNS to lock up,
           allowing me to see where MaraDNS locks up, allowing me to resolve
           the issue.

           (2001.10.31)

       maradns-0.8.27:

           I have added a lot of code which creates a circular linked list.
           This circular linked list is used by the custodian to erase
           elements from the cache which have not been recently accessed.

           The psudo-random number generator has been renamed to 'rng', and
           modified to be a hash-only primitive. MaraDNS no longer has any
           code which can be directly used for cryptographic purposes. Of
           course, the compression function of the hash/prng is invertable,
           and can be used as a stream cipher, but such is the case for all
           secure hash functions and secure PRNGs.

           Added a list of features I will not add to the 1.x release of
           MaraDNS to the MaraDNS man page.

           The default max_glueless_level is now 10, because some real-world
           hosts need a max_glueless_level this high.

           I have updated the 0QuickStart file to be current with the present
           state of MaraDNS.

           The Linux makefile now supports "make debug", useful for making a
           build with verbose debugging output.

           Now that I have some decent *roff documentation, I have done some
           improvments to the formatting of the man pages. Not only do the man
           pages look a little more attractive on the tty terminal, the man
           pages also look good when made postscript man pages (troff -man
           -Tps foo.1 > foo.ps).

           In addition, since the -man macros are not documented anywhere on
           the internet, I have somewhat deciphered the tmac.an macro set, and
           written up some documentation describing all of the -man macros.
           (2001.10.15)

       maradns-0.8.25:

           I have done an audit and an overhaul of how MaraDNS calls locks in
           the recursive code. Hopefully, this will resolve the issues with
           MaraDNS freezing after running for a few days.

           In addition, the recursive resolver now is better able to handle
           instances where a NS record points to a list of IPs.

           More documentation updates. The man page for maradns now has a
           guide on how to set up a firewall to allow maradns packets through,
           and a list of known issues where MaraDNS breaks the DNS spec.

           The crypto-emasculated version of MaraDNS no longer binds the
           source port of outgoing UDP queries. This is because the underlying
           OS may generate secure source port numbers when the source port is
           not specified in the application.

           (2001.10.12)

       maradns-0.8.24:

           I have created a tool, called debug.hostname in the tools
           directory, which gives a very verbose trace trying to look up a
           given hostname.  This will hopefully help me to debug and fix
           problematical hostnames.

           I have also created a tool, called faq2man which converts the HTML
           faq in to a format suitable for embedding in to a man page.  This
           makes the FAQ section of the MaraDNS man page more attractive

           I have made the maximum glueless level user-configurable, since it
           looks like some hosts do not resolve with the old hard-wired
           default of 4. I have also made the maximum number of queries
           performed total in a recursive lookup user-configurable

           I have added more helpful error messages which tell the user what
           to fix in their mararc file if MaraDNS can not initialize the DNS
           cache or the random number seed. The init_cache() and init_crypto()
           failed error messages should not be visible any more.

           Documentation update: There is now a man page description of the
           mararc file. The CREDITS and FAQ files have been updated, in
           addition to almost all man pages. For example, I have gotten rid of
           the two or three pages of ugly troff syntax that Perl's pod2man
           program generates in the Man pages which had this.

           make run without ./configure now works again.

           Since MaraDNS used to act in a different manner than Python 1.5.2
           with respect to multiple declations of the same index of the same
           dictionary variable, I have changed MaraDNS so that she exits with
           a fatal error should this occur, showing the user the line with the
           problem.

           Made the error message which pops up when a csv1 zone file pointer
           is incorrectly formatted more helpful.

           There was a minor security weakness with the PRNG which would pop
           up if the seed was a fixed file, two copies of MaraDNS used the
           same seed file, and the two files were started at the same time.
           This has been fixed.  The seed is now exclusive-ored with the
           process ID before generating numbers.

           More trimming of unused routines in the AES code. The AES code now
           only supports encryption with a 128-bit key and block size in ECB
           mode--the only way we use AES in MaraDNS.

           For people who can not legally have any kind of cryptography in
           their code (French citizens, etc.), there is now a script in the
           tools directory, remove.aes which removes all crypto code. Note
           that, while the main MaraDNS suite will still compile after running
           this, some programs in the tools/misc, test and sqa directories
           will no longer compile. make still works, of course. Note that
           removing this code does make MaraDNS more suspectable to a spoofing
           attack.

           (2001.10.08)

       maradns-0.8.23:

           Star records which point to CNAMEs are now completely supported.

           Christophe Colle pointed out that the reason MaraDNS was leaking
           memory when making threads on Solaris was because MaraDNS was not
           using pthread_attr_destroy. Hopefully, adding this will make
           MaraDNS not leak on Solaris.

           Improvment to the "make install" process: The default configuration
           looks for local man pages in /usr/local/share/man if /usr/local/man
           doesn't exist. This is to get around some Linux distributions which
           don't have /usr/local/man

           Minor security tweak to the routine that generates the 16-bit
           secure psudo-random number.

           The AES hasher now correctly generates a 128-version of the hash
           specified in Bram Cohen's proposed AES hash standard. Thanks to
           Bram for providing test vectors for the 256-version of the hash.

           maradns --version now also includes the build system and date

           (2001.09.27)

       maradns-0.5.30:

           Two bugs have been fixed: A bug where a UDP error message normally
           did not have the correct query ID, and a bug where, in certain
           cases, MaraDNS would return a UDP error instead of a SOA "not
           there" reply.

           Also, the documentation has been updated. (2001.09.25)

       maradns-0.8.22:

           Document reorganization: I am starting to move the formats of the
           data files to separate man pages. This will make each man page
           smaller and more convenient to use.

           Improved CNAME support: MaraDNS now has partial support for star
           records that point to a CNAME.

           Less code in the aes directory: I now have a program which
           generates the AES tables during the build process, since the code
           to generate those tables is a good deal smaller than the tables
           themselves. There is no slowdown, since it is a one-time
           calculation done during the build process.

           maradns --version (and zoneserver --version) now do the right
           thing: Print out the version number and exit

           The installer now removes the zoneserver and the maradns server
           before installing the new ones to get around the "text file busy"
           problem.

           There was a subtle bug with returning "not there" SOA replies and
           case insensitivity. This bug has now been fixed. This bugfix also
           needs to be folded back in to the 0.5.xx branch.

           It is now possible to change the class of the query with the
           getzone client if possible. Next: Document this new feature.
           (2001.09.24)

       maradns-0.8.21:

           First, the bad news.

           There is a known issue with MaraDNS having memory leaks when used
           as a recursive nameserver on the Solaris operating system. This
           problem does not exist in Linux. Since I do not have ready access
           to a Solaris box to develop on, I can not resolve this issue. Until
           a Solaris developer steps up to bat and fixes this for me, I am
           forced to disable recursive DNS serving under Solaris.

           I should have ready access to a Solaris again in December, when I
           return to the United States. I have CDs of Solaris eight up there,
           in addition to friends with Solaris boxes.

           Now, the good news.

           I have updated the example mararc files to be consistant with the
           documentation. In particular, I now have two "out of the box"
           working mararc files. One for authoritative name serving, and
           another for recursive nameserving.

           I have also updated the installer script to return an error if the
           directories to put the MaraDNS files in do not exist. In addition,
           MaraDNS will install all of the MaraDNS documentation in the
           directory specified by the variable DOCS in install.locations.

           Finally, I have updated the FAQ, the man pages, the mararc.format
           documentation, and am working on making separate man pages which
           describe csv1 zone files and the mararc file. (2001.09.20)

       maradns-0.8.20:

           When doing some tests with the AES engine in MaraDNS, I found that
           I inadvertently created a minor security problem w.r.t. ASCII nulls
           in the AES key. Basically, an "out of the box" MaraDNS
           configuration had a 1 in 16 chance of the aes key not having a full
           128 bits of entropy.

           I also corrected a minor fault in the aes128 hasher (it did not
           previously fully follow the spec, since it counted bytes, not
           bits), a minor fault with the top-level Makefile (which did not
           clean up tools/misc with a make clean), and did some minor manpage
           clean-up.  (2001.09.18)

       maradns-0.8.19:

           Updated the CREDITS file. If you have contributed to MaraDNS in any
           way, no matter how small, and are not in this file, please let me
           know so I can credit you.

           Removed references to routines in the aes/ directory which MaraDNS
           and aes128 do not use. The aes code is now encrypt-only.

           Added a test, based on Brian Gladman's AES reference code, which
           verified that the AES routines are working correctly.

           Some cleanup, corrections, and revisions of the man pages. I
           figured out how to turn off hyphenation and justifaction for man
           pages, and have hence disabled these in all of the MaraDNS man
           pages.

           Streamlining of the build process: ./configure; make; make install
           now does "the right thing". In addition, make uninstall also
           automagically does the right thing.

           <STRONG>Important:</STRONG> make install now, by default, installs
           files in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin, and man pages in
           /usr/local/man. If one has previous installs of MaraDNS in other
           locations, please change the install.sh script to the desired
           location of the MaraDNS files.  (2001.09.17)

       maradns-0.8.18:

           Added code which keeps track of allocated memory, allowing me to
           hunt down and eliminate memory leaks. Found four memory leaks in
           the recursive code:

           * in_bailiwick did not properly destroy the tempory string "get"

           * When a negative answer was given, query_nameserver did not
             correctly deallocate some temporary strings

           * recurse_call did not correctly deallocate the temporary string
             used for glueless queries

           * The code that set up the root nameservers in the cache had two
             strings which were used to help set up the root nameservers. This
             strings were not deallocated after being used. This was a one-
             time, and not continuous, leak.

           (2001.09.15)

       maradns-0.8.17:

           Incorperated a modified form of Franky's patch which adds the
           max_tcp_procs kvar to the program. Added some non-DNS releated
           tools to the "tools" directory. Clean up of the documentation.
           (2001.08.28)

       maradns-0.8.16:

           More regression testing: Added test where it sends an answer to a
           server.  If the server replies, this is considered an error
           condition. Cleaned up the recursive code (got rid of some XXX to
           dos): Mainly, MaraDNS sends an error if she can not spawn a thread.
           Documentation reorganized.  (2001.08.16)

       maradns-0.8.15:

           Made an 'asktest' program which will be used for regression
           testing.  (2001.08.15)

       maradns-0.8.14:

           Added support for a counter that counts the children in the Zone
           server.  (2001.08.13)

       maradns-0.8.13:

           Askmara doesn't display debug messages which can mess up terminals
           to the end user any more.

           When an element in the cache is overwritten, the new data is now
           added to the cache.

           New feature: MaraDNS can now blacklist spammer-friendly DNS
           servers.

           (2001.08.12)

       maradns-0.8.12:

           Fixed bug in udperror which caused it to spit back the wrong query
           ID.

           Added code to use a counter to count the number of threads. If we
           have more than maxprocs threads going on at the same time, we
           refuse to launch a thread.

           Cached data now will go through round-robin rotates.

           MaraDNS now compiles again when the locale is set to Spanish
           (though I still need more Spanish translations. Maybe when I am in
           M©xico, I can get help down there) (2001.08.11)

       maradns-0.5.29:

           Backported some bug fixes with zone file handling back to the
           "stable" authoritative-only branch of MaraDNS. (2001.08.10)

       maradns-0.8.11:

           Improved handling of CNAME records in the cache. BSD-dependent
           routines (which are currently unused in MaraDNS) are not compiled
           if we are compiling on a Solaris box. (2001.08.08)

       maradns-0.8.10:

           I have redone the makefile in the rijndael directory, some some
           makes (notably, the one NetBSD has) did not like the original
           Makefile.  Marked some unreproducable bugs as unreproducable.
           (2001.08.07)

       maradns-0.8.09:

           After much work (handling lame delegations better and fixing a bug
           in substring_issame_case), I have managed to get the host name
           linuxemu.retrofaction.com to resolve.

           Completely unreleated to MaraDNS, I have added a SirCam filter to
           the tools directory.  (2001.08.03)

       maradns-0.8.08:

           More bug swatting:

           * The problem that was causing www.fairytale-abuse.com to not
             resolve is fixed. (Better lame delegation handling)

           * The problem that was causing www.cs.cmu.edu and
             www.roaringpenguin.com to not resolve is fixed (Better case
             sensitivity handling)

           (2001.07.28)

       maradns-0.8.07:

           Fixed the zoneserver so it too only answers questions. Fixed two
           bugs in the getzone client: One where it would handle MX records
           incorrectly, another where it would hand the root zone incorrectly
           (this bug was actually in the Queries.c file). (2001.07.27)

       maradns-0.8.06:

           We now check to make sure we only answer questions. (2001.07.18)

       maradns-0.8.05:

           Added support for multiple root name servers. Also changed the
           example mararc file to have the root servers for eight different
           top level domain registries listed. (2001.07.16)

       maradns-0.5.27:

           Back porting bug fixes to the authoritative-only branch of MaraDNS.
           (2001.07.15)

       maradns-0.8.04:

           MaraDNS now sucessfully compiles on Solaris. Thanks to Franky Van
           Liedekerke for providing the pointers on how to do this, and to
           Danny for access to a Solaris machine to compile MaraDNS on.
           (2001.07.14)

       maradns-0.8.03:

           Solaris support added, but does not fully work, added disclaimer,
           improved code which drops group privledges.  (2001.07.13)

       maradns-0.8.02:

           Another bug fix: If a zone did not have a record of a given type at
           the "top" of the zone, MaraDNS would attempt to perform recursion
           instead of returning a SOA record in the authority section. Fixed.
           Also needs to be fixed in the 0.5.xx branch. Thanks to D Richard
           Felker III for finding the bug. (2001.07.10)

       maradns-0.8.01:

           Touch up bug fix: MaraDNS failed to close open file descripters
           when reading zone files. Fixed. Also needs to be fixed in the
           0.5.xx series.  Thanks to Boris Manojlovic for finding the bug.
           (2001.07.09)

       maradns-0.5.26:

           Fixed a couple of long-standing bugs found while debugging the
           recursive version of MaraDNS:

           * Fixed a subtle bug in the DNS compression code that would only
             show up in certain rare circumstances.

           * Fixed a bug in the handling of ANY DNS queries.

           (2001.07.08)

       maradns-0.8.00:

           This is the first alpha release of the recursive nameserver. I
           fixed a bug in the compression code, and fixed another bug which
           was causing problems with glueless name server entries.
           (2001.07.08)

       maradns-0.7.22:

           www.monty.de now successfully resolves; fixed bug where the
           custodian could potentially erase the root name server entry,
           making MaraDNS non-functional as a root nameserver until restarted.
           (2001.07.07)

       maradns-0.7.21:

           Type ANY queries now work for recursive queries. Finally.
           (2001.07.06)

       maradns-0.7.20:

           Another late night double feature MaraDNS show. There was a really
           nasty bug which Jaakko pointed out to me. I found the culprit, and
           fixed the bug.  (2001.07.04)

       maradns-0.7.19:

           Begun work on some of the infastructure changes needed to make
           MaraDNS sucessfully resolve recursive ANY queries. Added
           maradns_gid support.  Other pieces of code cleanup, primarily
           better handling of RR_ANY when acting as an authoritative
           nameserver (should I fold these changes in to a 0.5.26 release
           eventually?). (2001.07.04)

       maradns-0.7.18:

           Re-arranging of the engine that returns an answer from the cache.
           We check the cache expire of a "host not here" reply. Updated the
           documentation so that it is the 0.5.25 documentation with the
           recursive stuff added as needed. (2001.07.01)

       maradns-0.7.17:

           We now choose a random DNS server to query when we are looking for
           an answer. (2001.07.01)

       maradns-0.7.16:

           Updated documentation to include information on how to set up a
           recursive nameserver. Fixed bug where multiple levels of CNAME
           indirection were not being properly followed. It is now possible to
           go to www.imdb.com or groups.yahoo.com (both cases of multiple
           levels of CNAME indirection).  (2001.06.30)

       maradns-0.7.15:

           I have added support for negative caching: If a given host name
           does not exist, the program sends a "not here" to the stub
           resolver.  I also fixed a bug which was causing out-of-bailiwock
           queries to not work.  (Having to do with the case-sensitivity
           issue). Next: Getting www.monty.de to work, caching ANY replies.
           (2001.06.28)

       maradns-0.7.14:

           MaraDNS now works as a recursive nameserver again. The root
           nameserver is now user-configurable. CNAME returns queries in a
           form that a stub resolver can now understand. (2001.06.25)

       maradns-0.7.13:

           After much tinkering with the code, I have managed to make it so
           that a CNAME record in the cache returns the corresponding A record
           (note: only one A record!) along with the CNAME record. This should
           allow hosts like www.yahoo.com to work when this is used as a stub
           resolver.  (2001.06.24)

       maradns-0.7.12:

           More work done on plugging memory leaks. Working on code that will
           determine the ip for a given CNAME record, since stub resolvers are
           not smart enough to do a second A query themselves when they see a
           CNAME record. Also some minor cleanups that Franky Van Liedekerke
           suggested. (2001.06.22)

       maradns-0.7.11:

           Finished work on the custodian. Now, I need to make sure the
           custodian works. Also fixed CNAME support so it now works, plugged
           a couple more memory leaks, and revised the offline testbed to have
           a CNAME record.  (2001.06.21)

       maradns-0.7.10:

           Bigfixes: I have plugged some memory leaks, and added code which
           will (hopefully) allow recursive queries to cname records to work.
           I have also done some more work on the "custodian" code.
           (2001.06.21)

       maradns-0.7.09:

           Bugfix release: MaraDNS now closes the sockets that she opens when
           performing recursive queries. This stops the open sockets from
           piling up. Also, I have begun work on the "custodian" code: Code
           the reduces the number of elements in the cache when the user-
           defined cache runs low on space. (2001.06.20)

       maradns-0.7.08:

           I have made the RNG truly random, and I have added code to the
           resolution algorithm which allows it to perform recursive queries
           when the only authoritative records are NS delegation records.
           Also, updates to the todo list. Changed cc to gcc in all the
           makefiles to make MaraDNS more Solaris-friendly. (2001.06.20)

       maradns-0.7.07:

           I have added ACLs which limit who is allowed to make recursive
           queries.  I have also begun work on making the random number seed
           truly random.  (2001.06.19)

       maradns-0.7.06:

           I have updated the non-recursive code to use code from MaraDNS
           0.5.25, which adds a number of features from there (round robin
           rotation, etc.)  I have alos made a list of things which need to be
           done before I can make this a beta candidate for a 1.0 release. In
           addition, the code now makes sure that the query ID we receive is
           the same one we sent out.  I have also started work on a CREDITS
           file, updated the FAQ, and added a couple of interesting (if not
           MaraDNS-specific) Perl scripts to the archive.  (2001.06.17)

       maradns-0.7.05:

           The DNS server now has a psudo-random number generator which uses
           the Rijndael algorithm. This PRNG randomizes both the query ID and
           (I believe) the source port of any and all DNS queries. This PNRG
           now needs to become secure (by setting up either a random or a
           user-defined Rijndael key) (2001.06.16)

       maradns-0.7.04:

           There were some bugs in the RR expire code. I have found those
           bugs, fixed them, and now cache expirery should work. (2001.06.12)

       maradns-0.7.03:

           This release has implemented the ability to expire records from the
           cache.  All Name server records have a fixed expire of 1 day (this
           can be changed by changing one #define in recursive.c), but all
           other records have an expire time based on the TTL of the record.
           I have not yet tested DNS RR expire.  (2001.06.11)

       maradns-0.7.02:

           Milestone: This is the first release of MaraDNS that works as a
           recursive nameserver with the real root nameservers. Fix: Changing
           only the case of the first nameserver, add negative caching, then
           start adding security (good RNG for the query ID and source port,
           recursive ACL), then start making the root servers customizable
           (including being able to have different TLDs have different root
           servers). (2001.06.11)

       maradns-0.7.01:

           Beginning work on making MaraDNS both case-insensitive and able to
           preserve case. (2001.06.06)

       maradns-0.7.00:

           Albert Prats kindly provided Spanish translations for various text
           files.  To get MaraDNS to compile in Spanish instead of English,
           type in

           MaraDNS now can handle gluelessness. I am bumping up the minor
           version number to reflect that MaraDNS now has recursive
           nameserving capabilities, albeit without some security features.
           Next: Work on cache flushing and security.  (2001.06.03)

       maradns-0.6.21:

           Now, if one of the IP nameservers is bad, we will try the next
           nameserver in the chain. Next: Add the code to handle out-of-
           bailiwick nameservers (2001.06.01)

       maradns-0.6.20:

           Two big improvments: 1) The recursive resolver can now handle
           multiple A records (MaraDNS deliberately ignores NS and AR records.
           Note that it is a good idea to give out the corresponding A record
           for a CNAME record [To do]) 2) There is now code which makes a
           local copy of the chain of NS records in an authoritative-only
           section, which will allow me to make thread-safe code which will
           query other nameservers, should a given nameserver not function
           (e.g. Someone changed a computer's IP. In the three weeks it can
           take Network Solutions to update the records on the root
           nameservers, we still want to be able to reach the domain in
           question by using the other listed nameserver for the domain)

       maradns-0.6.19:

           Not only did I get to spend some time with my family this memorial
           day weekend, I also was able to get Linux up and going on my new
           laptop.  Took two installs, but everything except SSL in Konqueror
           now works.  I also, now that the new laptop is (mostly) up and
           going, have gotten a chance to work on MaraDNS. This new laptop,
           since it has a working battery, should speed up MaraDNS
           development--I can now work on MaraDNS on the train.  The latest
           version is able to go to a remote server and give us an incomplete
           answer (only one RR) based on what the remote server tells us.
           (2001.05.29)

       maradns-0.6.18:

           Some minor bugfixes and tweaks: The nameserver will now query name
           servers until it is able to find an answer, then it will go in a
           loop.  (2001.05.24)

       maradns-0.6.17:

           A fairly significant milestone: This version of MaraDNS is able to
           read data from an authoritative nameserver, and, based on that
           data, determine the IP of a nameserver closer to the answer we are
           looking for. (2001.05.21)

       maradns-0.5.24:

           Two minor bug fixes: The erre-con-erre-cigarro.maradns.org query
           will work, even if authoritative nameservers for the root are set
           up; MaraDNS now will run on systems which do not support the
           setrlimit system call, such as the GNU Hurd. (2001.05.21)

       maradns-0.5.23:

           Three bug fixes: MaraDNS now works with RRs for the root namserver
           (MaraDNS, in fact, can now be a nameserver for the root), the
           askmara tool now has a timeout (and can ask questions about the
           root nameserver), and the output that MaraDNS generates is
           unbuffered. (2001.05.19)

       maradns-0.6.16:

           I have added a lot more debugging stuff as I hunt down why it is
           RRs are not being added to the dns RR cache. I think I am pretty
           close to pinning it down, and hope tomorrow's release can add RRs
           to the big cache.  (2001.05.18)

       maradns-0.6.15:

           I added a simple interactive debugger which lets me see the state
           of the DNS cache hash table. Looks like the data from the server is
           not being added to the cache. Next: FInd out why not. (2001.05.17)

       maradns-0.6.14:

           An unexpected event forcing me to go home late yesterday caused
           there not to be a release of MaraDNS yesterday.

           Fixed bug where it was not correctly appending the class to the
           server that it was querying. Temporarily disabled the actual
           threading while development work on the recurseor continues. Next:
           Make sure that the cache is properly seeded from data from
           authoritative nameservers.  (2001.05.17)

       maradns-0.6.13:

           Fixed bug where it was choosing the wrong IP to query. Automated
           the process of setting up a testbed (which is completely self-
           contained), so I can debug this on a variety of machines. Next: Fix
           the timeout bug.  (2001.05.15)

       maradns-0.6.12:

           MaraDNS compiles again. Now, I need to go through all the code and
           iron out all of the bugs. Testbed of MaraDNS configuration files
           added. (2001.05.14)

       maradns-0.6.11:

           More work on the recursive stuff done. (2001.05.13)

       maradns-0.6.10:

           More work on the recursive stuff done. (2001.05.12)

       maradns-0.5.22:

           Bugfix release: non-0 opcodes now correctly return a "NOT
           IMPLEMENTED" error message. Also, some minor cleanup in the
           documentation: star records (*.example.com, etc.) are now
           documented. (2001.05.10)

       maradns-0.6.09:

           add_closer_jsddip, add_closer_js, and add_closer_jsip now have a
           third argument: Whether to overwrite or append to already existing
           data in the cache. Since the autoconf stuff doesn't work with the
           development branch, I got rid of it for now. Once this code gets
           stable, one of the Debian packagers can feel free to add the
           autoconf stuff again.  (2001.05.10)

       maradns-0.6.08:

           Added in_bailiwick and cmp_dnames functions to recursive.c
           (2001.05.09)

       maradns-0.5.21:

           Feature enhancment: Added round-robin rotation of records and
           limits to the number of records that can be displayed for a given
           answer to MaraDNS.  This will be the last feature enhancment for
           the 0.5.xx tree. All changes in the 0.5.xx tree will now be bug
           fixes. Now, back to work on the 0.6.xx series, starting off with
           integrating the 0.5.xx changes. (2001.05.07)

       maradns-0.5.20:

           Feature enhancment: We now make sure that the same AR record does
           not show up twice in the AR section. Thanks to Phil Homewood for
           pointing out this problem. (2001.05.06)

       maradns-0.5.19:

           Bugfix release: We now follow chains of records in the AR section.
           The authoritative bit for an "RR_ALL" request is now determined by
           the authoritative bit in the first RR found. Thanks to Phil
           Homewood for finding these bugs. (2001.05.06)

       maradns-0.6.07:

           The askmara tool now uses select() to time out after three seconds.
           Added a lot of code to the recursive lookup. I now send a query to
           the remote server, and receive the reponse. Next: Code to process
           the response and add the data to the local cache. (2001.05.06)

       maradns-0.6.06:

           The recursive code now sucessfully seeds a root nameserver in to
           the cache.  Next: Code to query and get the response form that
           nameserver.  (2001.05.05)

       maradns-0.6.05:

           Heavy debugging of the recursive stuff going on. It is not fixed,
           but I wanted to post something, however miniscule, before going to
           bed.  (2001.05.04)

       maradns-0.5.18:

           Addded new feature: default_rrany_set, which is used to change the
           RRs returned when a RR_ANY query is sent to the MaraDNS server.
           Thanks to Phil Homewood who pointed out that this is sometimes
           needed.  (2001.05.03)

       maradns-0.6.04:

           recursive text documented updated to reflect changes I made on the
           train.  Some other cleanup. (2001.05.02)

       maradns-0.6.03:

           Wrote up document detailing the recursive algorithm that MaraDNS'
           recursive resolver will use. Integrated the 0.5.17 bugfixes in to
           the development tree. (2001.05.01)

       maradns-0.5.17:

           Fixed bug in MaraDNS' handling of zone transfers where the response
           is a single big RR instead of multiple small RRs. Some other small
           bugfixes. (2001.04.30)

       maradns-0.6.02:

           I have the general structure of how I want to do the recursive name
           serving in place. The devil, however, is in the details.
           (2001.04.28)

       maradns-0.6.01:

           Fixes in MaraDNS-0.5.16 incorporated in to development branch.
           Slowly making progress on the recursive code. (2001.04.26)

       maradns-0.5.16:

           Fixed bug in the zoneserver's handling of replies longer than 255
           octets in length. Fixed problem in manpage and updated man page.
           Special thanks to Phil Homewood for finding problems the zone
           server was having.  (2001.04.26)

       maradns-0.6.00:

           Work on making MaraDNS recursive begins. (2001.04.26)

       maradns-0.5.15:

           Fatal error messages caused by failed system calls now show the
           user the error message that the system gave, in addition to
           MaraDNS' error message. (2001.04.26)

       maradns-0.5.14:

           Added "no_fingerprint" feature which minimizes the MaraDNS-specific
           features, making it more difficult to determine which DNS server
           one is running. (2001.04.23)

       maradns-0.5.13:

           Manpage for maradns added. (2001.04.22)

       maradns-0.5.12:

           Added better support for CNAME records: If the CNAME record points
           to an A record, and we have the A record "on file", MaraDNS will
           add the CNAME record to the ar section of the reply. Also added
           support for getting the version number for maradns via a 'erre-con-
           erre-cigarro.maradns.org.' TXT query. Set things up so we can both
           a autoconf-based and a non-autoconf-based build process, and we can
           switch between the two.  Next: Branch off to development again,
           because I need to get the zone server multithreaded. (2001.04.22)

       maradns-0.5.11:

           Tollef Fog Heen generously ran autoconf for MaraDNS. The build
           process now consists of './configure;make'".  (2001.04.21)

       maradns-0.5.10:

           Code cleanup: I added -Wall as an option in the libs, dns, and
           server directories. Cleanup of all the warnings that -Wall
           generated. Added /etc/mararc and /var/maradns/db.example.com to RPM
           file. (2001.04.20)

       maradns-0.5.09:

           The server crashes were causes by pointers that were not correctly
           initialized to zero. The pointers causing the crash have been
           initialized, and hopefully this one will be crashproof. Next: Look
           for other incorrectly initialized variables. (2001.04.20)

       maradns-0.5.08:

           Begin a "stable" brach for the only-authoritative non-threaded
           nameserver. Changed compiler option from -g to -O2. Made RPM of
           MaraDNS-0.5.08. (2001.04.19)

       maradns-0.5.07:

           Plugged some memory leaks in the zoneserver which, while not
           currently a problem, could have been a problem if I had started
           coding threads before plugging the memory leaks. Some of the leaks
           were is the js_string library, so that code base is a lot cleaner
           now. Made the functions in ParseCsv1.c thread-safe. My friend Fatma
           generously supplied a German translation of the error strings in
           MaraDNS_en.h--we now have a MaraDNS_de.h which, while not perfect,
           will be appreciated by the Germans.  (2001.04.18)

       maradns-0.5.06:

           The zone server for MaraDNS can now be run from inetd.  Due to the
           security implications of this (MaraDNS' IP-based ACLs stop working
           when run from inetd), this will be an undocumented feature.
           (2001.04.18)

       maradns-0.5.05:

           Phil Homewood generously supplied a patch that makes this compile
           on FreeBSD. In addition, he fixed a bug in the Makefile in
           dns/Makefile which made it so bobbit.c compiles instead of using
           the Linux-specific object file (Which I didn't catch, since make
           clean didn't remove it and make didn't recreate it). I also fixed a
           bug in getzone.c which was introduced when I put the string
           literals in a language-specific file. (2001.04.17)

       maradns-0.5.04:

           Added more support for dotted decimal IPs in NS, CNAME, and MX
           records. Added handles for code which will warn the user of the
           presence of these dotted-decimal IP records. Fixed bug where
           js_copy was not returning an appropriate value on success
           (2001.04.17)

       maradns-0.5.03:

           If a "give me all records for a given hostname" query appears,
           MaraDNS will now look for a CNAME with the same hostname, returning
           only that if found (and she will only look for a CNAME if an A and
           MX were not found), and if A, MX, and CNAME records are not found,
           MaraDNS will see if the person entered a dotted decimal ip and
           respond appropriately.  (2001.04.16)

       maradns-0.5.02:

           Most of the text messages that MaraDNS' various utilities generate
           have been moved to separate files, which will make localization
           easier. (2001.04.16)

                                                                            ()
