Release Notes: This release introduces some minor bugfixes and cleanup to the address/hostname verification (host -A) code.
Release Notes: The main change is primarily an internal one that corrects the way cannonical hostname checking is done such that only pure DNS lookups are done (by avoiding use of the often localized gethostbyname()). This is the first, and perhaps most important, of changes to avoid the get*by*() APIs. The --checkzone option has been fixed. Some minor changes have also been made to make smarter use of the "recursion available" flag in responses. A portability fix was made for NetBSD-3.x and newer (the getnodeby*() APIs normally provided by libbind are silently left out of NetBSD).

Release Notes: Among others, an issue with the list mode, which was effectively unusable in the previous release, has been resolved, as has a bug that affected initialization of the resolver library with the address of a specified name server. Enhancements have been made to the "parent" option, which causes the application to use the name servers specified in the parent zone.
Release Notes: This release fixes a few minor, but annoying, bugs, and improves some of the messages supplied when '-v' and or '-d' are used.
