Release Notes: RFC2606 example domains and RFC3849 example domains are used even for the test in Makefile.nobsd.
- 13 Jan 2011 14:37
Release Notes: A long-standing bug was fixed in which MAC addresses with a non-decimal first digit weren't recognized. The test was changed to use RFC3849 documentation prefix and RFC2606 example domains.
- 19 Dec 2007 06:33
Release Notes: The switch "-R" was changed to create entries for ip6.arpa. The "-N" switch was added to create "ip6.int". However, the latter is documented as deprecated and will go away soon. $(SHAR) was introduced in the Makefiles.

Release Notes: Ether2dns version 1.1 adds generation of A6 records, although it doesn't yet provide the generation of bitstring labels for reverse resolution.

Release Notes: This patch makes the debug mode (dumping core on syntax errors if -v is given) conditionally compiled on -DEBUGLEVEL. Also, some debug output is better formatted.

Re: AAAA records
A6 has been moved back to experimental by RFC 3363 (www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc33....
ether2dns still supports it (for experimentors), but for normal usage, you should used AAAA.

Re: AAAA records
Actually, both AAAA and A6 are still on the standard track of the IETF decision process. It is not clear whether A6 will replace AAAA - there is some strong opposition to it.
Re: AAAA records
Yes, and I've already prepared it for A6. However, as we don't have yet a non-beta bind9, therefore not deployed at Bonn University CS deprt., I can't easily test A6 and friends right now, which is why I didn't implement it yet.
AAAA records
To the best of my knowledge, AAAA records are now deprecated, and A6 records are to be used instead.
