[ANNOUNCEMENT] Net_DNS2-1.2.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package Net_DNS2-1.2.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - added numeric error codes to the Lookups class, and had each method that throws an exception throw a numeric error code along with the message. - dropped all references to InvalidArgumentException; we only use the Net_DNS2_Exception from now on. - added the CAA, URI, TALINK, CDS and TA resource records. Some of these are experimental, but are pretty straight forward. - fixed a bug in formatString(); my version was only putting double quotes around strings that have spaces, but apparently ALL strings should have double quotes around them. This is how BIND does it. - re-organized the Net_DNS2_Lookups initialization code; it no longer creates a global object of itself. - fixed a bug in the caching code; in some cases it wouldn't cache the same content more than once. - added an option to use JSON to serialize the cache data rather than using the PHP serialize function. JSON is much faster, but loses the class definition, and becomes a stdClass object. - fixed a handful of cases where I was using double quotes where a single quote would be fine. Package Info ------------ Provides (roughly) the same functionality as Net_DNS, but using PHP5 objects, exceptions for error handling, better sockets support. This release is (in most cases) 2x - 10x faster than Net_DNS, as well as includes more RR's (including DNSSEC RR's), and improved sockets and streams support.
