- update to 1.12.0:
* The test system can now run the tests without requiring dnspython
to be installed.
* When reading from a masterfile, if the first content line
started with leading whitespace, we raised an ugly exception
instead of doing the right thing, namely using the zone origin as
the name. [#73] Thanks to Tassatux for reporting the issue.
* Added dns.zone.to_text() convenience method. Thanks to Brandon
Whaley for the patch.
* The /etc/resolv.conf setting "options rotate" is now understood
by the resolver. If present, the resolver will shuffle the
nameserver list each time dns.resolver.query() is called. Thanks
to underrun for the patch. Note that you don't want to add
"options rotate" to your /etc/resolv.conf if your system's
resolver library does not understand it. In this case, just set
resolver.rotate = True by hand.
* Escaping of Unicode has been corrected. Previously we escaped
and then converted to Unicode, but the right thing to do is
convert to Unicode, then escape. Also, characters > 0x7f should
NOT be escaped in Unicode mode. Thanks to Martin Basti for the
patch.
* dns.rdtypes.ANY.DNSKEY now has helpers functions to convert
between the numeric form of the flags and a set of human-friendly
strings. Thanks to Petr Spacek for the patch.
* RRSIGs did not respect relativization settings in to_text().
Thanks to Brian Smith for reporting the bug and submitting a
(slightly different) patch.
* dns/rdtypes/IN/APL.py: The APL from_wire() method did not accept an
rdata length of 0 as valid. Thanks to salzmdan for reporting the
problem.
