--- 1.999.1 (2006-02-26 18:00)

Mail::SPF::Query:

• Do not use \p{} named properties in the "a" and "mx" mechanisms' argument validation code, since Perl 5.6 requires (flaky) "use utf8" for them to work, and [a-z]/[a-z0-9] should work just as well (closes rt.cpan.org bug #17815).
• Some minor documentation formatting improvements.

  Debian

  + Added watch file.

--- 1.999 (2006-02-07 00:00)

Mail::SPF::Query:
! No longer accept malformed SPF records such as "\"v=spf1 ...\"" (spurious double quotes) or " v=spf1 ..." (leading whitespace).

• Combine multiple TXT strings into a single string before fallbacks are tried. Thus, fallbacks now also get applied if there are only non- "v=spf1" TXT records; this wasn't the case before.
• Guard against non-numeric cidr-lengths (closes rt.cpan.org bug #17061).
• Flattened the { 'domain' => { record => '...' } } override and fallback argument format to just { 'domain' => '...' }. The old format is still supported for backwards compatibility.
• Added a "BUGS" section to the man-page documenting M:S:Q's known deficiencies.
• Lots of minor code improvements.

  spfquery

• Correctly recognize the --mail-from (AKA --sender) option. The version in the M:S:Q 1.998 release was broken in this regard.
• Actually require the --helo option for the --mail-from (AKA --sender) form.
• Cleaned up command-line argument validation code.
• Cleaned up the inconsistent short and long (--help) usage and man-page texts.
• Clarified the file input syntax in the help and man-page texts. + The "--override" and "--fallback" options are now actually working and documented.

  Tests

• Overhauled 00_all.t test script:
  • Don't skip tests when a non-last test in a test tuple fails (this made test 223 "fail", for example, because Test::Harness thought that some planned tests were not performed).
  • Marked test 219 (SERVFAIL) as non-critical, because it isn't completely reliable (sometimes, apparently behind some NATs and firewalls, the query just times out instead of returning SERVFAIL) (closes rt.cpan.org bug #17099).
  • Generate and collect debug log output (internally) along with the normal M:S:Q->result() calls right away, so that extra just-to-get-debug-output M:S:Q->result() calls can be saved. Also we can make debug log output Test::Harness-compatible this way by printing it ourselves with '#' chars at the beginnings of lines.
  • Cleaned up code.
• Cleaned up comments in t/test.dat test data file.

  Debian

  ! Build-Depend, not Build-Depend-Indep, on debhelper. Also, depend on debhelper >= 5.

• Build-Depend-Indep on netbase to allow testing to work when building in a pbuilder chroot (closes Debian bug #351030).

--- 1.998 (2005-12-31 23:00)

Mail::SPF::Query:
! Require Perl 5.6 or better.
! Require URI::Escape module, not URI module. ! Removed obsolete Caller-ID support (closes Debian bugs #337319, #337500). ! Always use Sys::Hostname::Long. And thus, require Sys::Hostname::Long to be installed (closes Debian bugs #332952, #342629).

• Changed local machine hostname macro from "xr" to "r" (closes rt.cpan.org bug #9744). ! Restrict the number of SPF record lookups to a maximum of 10 (was: 20). Thanks to Craig Whitmore!
• Fixes to mechanisms implementation:
  • a, mx: Check if domain is a valid FQDN, i.e. ends in ".<toplabel>".
  • ip4: Return "unknown" (PermError) if no argument was specified. Also, don't auto-complete "1.2.3" CIDR specs to "1.2.3.0", as such an abbreviated syntax is forbidden by the SPF spec anyway. Thanks to Craig Whitmore!
• Lots of minor code and documentation fixes/improvements.

  spfd

  + Added complete POD documentation/man-page.

• Both "--xxx" and "-xxx" forms of command-line options are now supported. ! Renamed most of the command-line options:

  --path => --socket --pathuser => --socket-user --pathgroup => --socket-group --pathmode => --socket-perms --setuser => --set-user --setgroup => --set-group The old option names are still supported for backwards compatibility.

• Do not print usage information when neither "--port" nor "--socket" are specified (i.e. when the default TCP port would just be used). Print a more specific hint instead.
• Added "--help" option to print usage information.
• Some minor code fixes/improvements.

  spfquery

  + Added complete POD documentation/man-page.

• Exit with code 0 and do not print usage hint on '-v' (was Debian bug #237751, has been already resolved in Debian release 1.997-3).
• Both "--xxx" and "-xxx" forms of command-line options are now supported. Also, a "-x" (short) form is now supported for the most important options. ! Renamed the "--max-lookup" option to "--max-lookup-count" to match the Mail::SPF::Query API. "--max-lookup" is still supported for backwards compatibility.
• Added "--mail-from" and "-m" synonyms for the "--sender" option for consistency with the "--helo" option.
• Cleaned up the "--help" usage output.
• Lots of minor code improvements.

  Tests

• Some minor tests improvements.
• Turned test.pl into .t file in t/ directory, so testing output is parsed (closes rt.cpan.org bug #7748).
• Plan the correct number of tests, not just the number of non-comment lines in test data file.

  Debian

  + Added Debian package control files. This is now also a native Debian package!

  Miscellaneous

  ! Updated URLs everywhere:

  http://spf.pobox.com -> http://www.openspf.org http://www.anarres.org/projects/srs/ -> http://www.libsrs2.org http://asarian-host.net/srs/sendmailsrs.htm

  -> http://srs-socketmap.info/sendmailsrs.htm ! Point out everywhere the "non-standard"-ness of best guess processing, trusted forwarder accreditation checking, and several other features.

• Cleaned up source package file and directory layout:

  Query.pm -> lib/Mail/SPF/Query.pm Changes -> CHANGES test.* -> t/ spf{d,query} -> bin/ sample/ -> examples/ + Added META.yml.

• postfix-policyd-spf:
  • Generate "Received-SPF:" header unless rejecting (fail/Fail) or deferring (error/TempError) the message.
  • Verbose mode is disabled by default. Thanks to Arjen de Korte! ! spf.py:Removed , because it was really old, and this is a Perl package, not a Python one.
• Did I mention lots of minor code and documentation fixes/improvements?
