v2.0.717 Nov 20253 sources agree
changed the hashing algorithm used for cache storage from sha256 -> xxh128; the xxHash algorithms are faster
changed the hashing algorithm used for cache storage from sha256 -> xxh128; the xxHash algorithms are faster

bugfix: fixed #177 - the "NULL" resource record has an issue because the name conflicts with the PHP reserved word "null", so I
had originally named it "NUL" instead, but apparently this causes a problem for NTFS in Windows. I've changed it now to be
"RR_NULL", which is dumb looking, but shouldn't conflict with anything. It can still be created in the way using "NULL", just the
class name is named inconsistently.

bugfix: fixed #178 - I was trimming periods from names in the new Data class- which is correct for Domains and Mailboxes, but
not Text objects, as it can break when you have a domain that happens to line up just right. This fix only trims() the period
when it's a Domain or Mailbox class.

bugfix: fixed #173 - the Client.php was comparing the $rr->type value to "SOA" but should have been using the new ENUM value.
changed from mt_rand() to random_int(); provides the same value, but faster and produces less complaints from code scanners about
weak RNG, even though it doesn't actually matter since this isn't used for cryptography.
realpath() the resolv.conf and private key file path just-in-case; this isn't a real problem.
changed the resolver cache to use sha256 instead of md5(); again, this isn't cryptographic, so it doesn't matter, but in my testing
the sha256 function is surprisingly slightly faster than md5(), and it kills the complaints from code scanners.
dropped the use of curl_close(); it's deprecated as of PHP 8.5.
cleaned up the BitMap::arrayToBitMap() function, and created a phpunit test to confirm it's working.
changed any isset() cases to use === to avoid "loose comparison" warnings.

v2.0.521 Sept 20253 sources agree

bugfix: fixed #169 - the Client.php was comparing the $qtype value to "AXFR" but should have been using the new ENUM value

bugfix: fixed #169 - the Client.php was comparing the $qtype value to "AXFR" but should have been using the new ENUM value
bugfix: fixed #170 - the Socket::read() function could end up in and endless loop when using TCP, and the remote end doesn't
return any data at all.
bugfix: fixed #171 - added a missing __isset() magic method to the RR object.

v2.0.425 Aug 20253 sources agree

fixed the phpdoc for the $_options passed to the Resolver, Notifier, & Updater constructors; the array format was incorrect.

fixed the phpdoc for the $_options passed to the Resolver, Notifier, & Updater constructors; the array format was incorrect.
fixed the blocking logic in Socket::read(); there were a couple reports of failures here that could only happen in a specific case where only one initial byte of data is returned on TCP connections.
fixed #167 - the Mailbox object (used on SOA, RP) RR's didn't support a value without a "." in it (aka an @). While according to RFC1035, this value should be an email address, it seems like DNS servers don't enforce this, so you can add a single value in like "root" and it's accepted.
fixed #168 - the SHA1 DNSSEC Digest algorithm was configured as id 0, but should be 1.

v2.0.28 Jul 20253 sources agree

Added support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)

Added support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
Fixed #160 - the Updater() and Notifier() class constructors were accidentially changed to require a response value; this was changed back to default to null.
Fixed #161 - there was a domain encoding issue related to TSIG signatures, when using key names or algorithms with periods in them. This was part of a larger encoding logic issue.

v2.0.09 Jun 20253 sources agree

IMPORTANT: this release is not backwards compatible with v1.x - see the README for more details on upgrading.

Minimum PHP version was increased to 8.1; this version uses strong typing, ENUMs, and other modern PHP features.
Complete code re-factor, converting to PSR-4 style autoloading, and namespace semantics.
Added support for DNS over TLS (DoT).
Added support for DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
Added support for (almost) all EDNS(0) features (client subnet, cookies, TCP keepalives, etc.)
Added Memcache & Redis support in the local cache object.
Added the HTTPS, SVCB, DSYNC, and other resource records.
