Release candidate for Net::DNS 1.55

DNS Libraries & Tools
1

Dear all,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 1.55 release of Net::DNS.

This candidate has two bugfixes

  • A fix for 1 byte TCP packets containing “0” being interpreted as EOF, corrupting AXFRs (See RT#176900)

  • Removing usage of backticks in UNIX.pm which depend on shell (See RT#177003)

Please review the candidate carefully. If no issues arise, the actual releases will follow Thursday the 11th of June 2026.
