0.95 NOT RELEASED YET

If you are upgrading your Net::DRI installation, from version 0.92 or older
we advise you to first upgrade to 0.92_01, test everything, adapt your program to use
the new API (see below), and then upgrade to 0.95 which introduce some incompatibilities
with prior versions. If you test first with version 0.92_01 you will be able to make
sure your programs work the same way from old to new API, without changing versions
and you will be warned if you are using deprecated features.

0.92_01 2009-01-XX DEVELOPMENT RELEASE (not to be used in production without extensive testing if upgrading from some previous version)

UPGRADE instructions from previous versions:
- use add_profile/add_current_profile instead of new_profile/new_current_profile (warning: you may hit different APIs, depending on how you used new_profile/new_current_profile !)
- remove use of log_fh attribute during transport setup, and use instead the new Logging framework (see Net::DRI and Net::DRI::Logging modules documentation)

Detailed changes:

+ Registry add_profile()/add_current_profile() : new methods that will replace in the future new_profile()/new_current_profile() with a better API; this will also make it possible to have DRD protocol agnostic again the future (when old API completely removed) ; all scripts in eg/ and test files in t/ have been updated
+ Logging : a new framework has been put in place, for better extensibility ; fix of encoding bug ; various logging has been added, at debug level, to facilitate debugging (such as methods called, cache handling, transport loops/timeouts/retries) ; see document of modules Net::DRI, Net::DRI::Logging and Net::DRI::Logging::{Stderr,Files,Null}
+ Protocol/ResultStatus : $rc objects returned from most operations do also contain now all data retrieved with the operation (including the raw messages exchange), which can be accessed by get_data()/get_data_collection() method on the the $rc object, see module documentation
+ Shell autocompletion support for commands and parameters (domain names, contacts, hostnames, local filenames), see Net::DRI::Shell documentation
+ Shell new commands: add, record, set, show config, !cmd, help and add_current_profile (replacing new_current_profile) + backticks for batch operations ; see Net::DRI::Shell documentation
+ .IM support (EPP) : interoperability not tested
+ .SI support (EPP) : interoperability not tested
+ Data/Contact (and all subclasses) : a new method attributes() allows to know what attributes exist for this specific class of contact data
+ Data/Contact as_string() : better handling of subclasses attributes, now also automatically included in output, as well as class name (to know the contact type)
+ DRD/EURid : add registrar DAS (type=das-registrar) & registrar Whois (type=whois-registrar) profile types
+ DRD/CoCCA : .NA and .NG added
+ DRD/DENIC : add 9.4.e164.arpa in list of tlds, as they can be queried with IRIS DCHK
+ DRD/ICANN : .MOBI and .COOP can have one character domain name
+ DRD/WS : domain transfer operations are now possible
+ DRI del_registry() : to properly close all profiles in a given registry name (or the current one if no parameter given)
+ Registry del_profile() : deletes the current profile (or the name specified as input), which will also close transport connections associated with the profile as needed
+ Protocol/IRIS/XCP (RFC4992) : prototype implementation (no publicly known server uses this for now), only SASL PLAIN is supported
+ Protocol/IRIS/Core parse_authentication() : to support SASL in IRIS (RFC4991 authentication messages)
+ Shell : if we detect the server has closed connection, we try to reopen it at next command
+ DRI : cache() method to return the current underlying cache object
+ Cache : ttl() accessor/mutator to query or change the current time to live for cached data
+ DRD registry_can() : returns 1 or 0 if the operation given as input parameter (ex: domain_create) is available for the currently selected registry
+ Protocol/ResultStatus : new method is_closing() returns 1 if the server has closed connection (after successful operation or not)
+ Protocol/ResultStatus : new method is() to check symbolic return codes, see module documentation
+ Protocol/IRIS/LWZ : now supports compressed responses (with some help by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann) ; nicely handling of current mismatch between RFC LWZ compression method (RFC1951) and DENIC IRIS DCHK server (RFC1950)
+ Protocol/EPP/Extensions/Neulevel/IDNLanguage (contributed by Jouanne Mickael)
+ Protocol/EPP/Message : added a message/info/checked_on key always there with a DateTime object to know when we got information on number of messages waiting
= Protocol/EPP/Message : we always set message/info/count attribute, including to 0 if nothing pending
= Protocol/.../Connection classes : we use EPP code 2500 instead of 2400 (through ResultStatus new COMMAND_FAILED_CLOSING symbolic name) to warn where we were not able to get registry response, probably due to a closed connection
= Protocol/.../Message classes : as_string() is now mandatory to be implemented (for logging purposes), so add it where needed
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/DNSBE/Domain : trade operation now needs op=>'request' (bugfix by Roger Heykoop)
= Protocol/IRIS/Message : add xml preambule to outgoing messages
= Registry available_profiles() : returns list of fullnames (profile name + protocol name + transport name) if passed a true value
= Protocol/ResultStatus info() has been renamed to get_extended_results()
= DRI trid_factory() accessor/mutator, this is a coderef used everywhere (including in Transport classes) to generate transaction identificators such as clTRID in EPP (all Transport classed have been modified to use that)
= Caching changes (see Registry::try_restore_from_cache, DRD and various DRD subclasses): Registry::set_info_from_cache() disappears and its features are subsumed by try_restore_from_cache() ; two major changes (that will make the cache less often used) : we use it only for the same action, and we use data from the same profile only ; logging is done (at debug level) to be able to track each cache miss or hit ; when results are given from the cache, the result_from_cache (in branch session/exchange) key has a value of 1, otherwise 0
= Transport + DRD/Registry : total rework of sending/receiving messages, better handling of timeouts and retries ; this is specially needed for servers difficult to reach, like public Whois/IRIS/DAS ones
= Registry : after exchange with registry, add in ResultStatus data a session+exchange branch with keys: duration_seconds (the duration in seconds of the exchange), command (a string representation of what has been sent to the registry), reply (a string representation of what has been received from registry), result_from_cache (=0), action (name of action that has been done) and type (type of object on which this operation has been done)
= DRD {domain,host,contact}_check_multi() : if the currently selected protocol does not support check_multi, we emulate by doing multiple check calls, as needed
= DRD domain_create() : if not pure_create, we start by doing a domain_check and stop there if domain exists already (so that we do not trigger an hitpoint at registry like EURid)
= DRD/NO : verify_name_domain() updates
= DRD/DENIC : better parameters for IRIS DCHK timeouts and retries
= Util : fulltime() and xml_indent() methods added, used by Logging framework
= Util : encode() encode_utf8() encode_ascii() decode() decode_utf8() decode_ascii() methods added, as wrapper around Encode
= When using Encode::{encode,decode}(), use check=1 (die on malformed data)
= Protocol : the name key is only set for domain and host object types, not in all cases
= Connection classes for EPP,RRI,IRIS : using sysread() instead of read(), since we do not want any buffering
= Connection classes for EPP/Extensions/PL,OpenSRS/XCP : using HTTP::Response::decoded_content() method instead of just content()
= Connection classes read_data method : make sure to translate what we received into perl native strings (Encode::decode & similar stuff)
= EPP/Extensions/PL/Connection write_message() : encode perl string in utf8 before putting in HTTP::Message::content
= DRD : add a default verify_name_domain() and domain_operation_needs_is_mine() for all subclasses, this make many DRD subclasses simpler and shorter
= DRD classes : various simplifications and removals (verify_duration_transfer, is_my_tld, domain_operation_needs_is_mine), plus use of BaseClass::make_exception_for_unavailable_operations
= DRD classes : sanitization of the internal API for verify_name_domain, and rewrite in the new framework (using DRD::_verify_name_rules)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/AFNIC : various updates following registry new prototype
= Protocol/AFNIC/Email : various updates for form version 2.5.0 (notably: authinfo mandatory, nameservers not mandatory)
- DRD contact_check_multi() : make sure to allow a ref hash for optional parameters, as with all other contact methods
- Protocol/IRIS/LWZ : make sure to start with a clean empty DNS resolver
- DRD/DENIC : make sure to use "de." and not "de" for DNS queries (finding NAPTR servers)
- Protocol/EPP/Core/RegistryMessage pollack() : message ids are not necessarily numbers, but XML token (RT#41032 reported by Joaquim Carandell)
- Protocol/EPP/Core/{Contact,Domain,Host} : for registry notifications (poll messages), we do not set the exist key anymore as the operation may be related to a creation or something else ; this would need to be handled by extensions
- Shell : properly take into account quit commands in script files (reported by Eberhard Lisse)
- DRD domain_{delete,create}_only() : deprecated methods, now removed (see previous version)
- Protocol/{EPP,RRI,IRIS}/Connection : use strict utf8 ("UTF-8") and not Perl lax utf8 ("utf8") when encoding before sending to server (through Util::encode_utf8 function)
- Protocol Connection classes login() logout() keepalive() methods : now they return the message, and do not call write_message themselves, this is done by Transport class (for homogeneity and logging reasons)
- Protocol/IRIS/Core parse_error() : correct parsing of messages/languages (they were swapped)
- Protocol/EPP/Extensions/BR/Contact : allow update of pure contacts (no orgid)

0.92 2008-10-08

+ IRIS support (RFC3981) with LWZ transport (RFC4993) for DCHK (RFC5144): currently only DENIC registry (.DE) provide this service, 
  but this new set of protocols have been created to replace the current sad state of whois (a change that will probably take years)
  See eg/iris_dchk.pl
+ Net::DRI::Shell : a new version of the earlier prototype, now revamped, extended, documented, with support for all Net::DRI operations, and batch feature for domain name operations with logging and time statistics. See its documentation for all details ; it can very easily be used to leverage all power of Net::DRI without writing any line of code!
+ .UK EPP support : added new registry operations (account fork and merge, registry notifications), upgraded to version 1.1 of their local schema and correctly handle login
+ .PT EPP support, with domain and contact extensions (see t/640pt_epp.t)
+ Preliminary CoCCA support (.CX .GS .TL .KI .MS .MU .NF .HT) : interoperability tested with registry ; in the future the general CoCCA DRD should be replaced by multiple DRDs, one for each TLD, implementing each the specific country policy on its ccTLD
+ Full CentralNic EPP support, interoperability tested with registry (see t/621centralnic_epp.t)
+ .BR various updates and interoperability tested with registry
+ .NO various updates: improved contact validation and more refined service message parse for delayed domain transfer responses (submitted by Trond Haugen)
+ Transport/Defer : preliminary prototype for debugging ; can also be used in production to simulate operations without sending anything to the registries
= DRD::domain_create_only() is now deprecated (and will be removed in later versions), you should use domain_create with a pure_create key and value of 1 ; examples and tests have been updated
= DRD::domain_delete_only() is now deprecated (and will be removed in later versions), you should use domain_delete with a pure_delete key and value of 1 ; examples and tests have been updated
= DRD/ME : 1 year registrations allowed since October 1st
= Transport/Socket : UDP support (for LWZ needed by IRIS.DCHK)
= Transport/Socket : dynamic remote_host/remote_port possible (needed for IRIS.DCHK)
= Data/Changes : add() del() set() returns the object itself now
= Protocol/EPP/Core/RegistryMessage : handle notifications completely and only inside the <msg> node ; add error message if no ID given for message to delete
= Protocol/ResultStatus : changed as_string() output format and better handling of no message case
= EPP/Core/Message & RRI/Core/Message : factorization of _toxml and transplantation into Net::DRI::Util
= Protocol : do no set result_status if already set inside parse functions (like in IRIS DCHK)
= Registry : allow to use local_object() for a DateTime or DateTime::Duration instance/has_object
= Data/Contact : little change in as_string() format output
= DRD : domain_create() will create contacts if needed, passed and not pure_create
= DRD/US : contact internationalized data, either INT+LOC or INT only
= DRD/VNDS : do not use RRP any more
= DRD/COOP : use ICANN policies for reserved names, and allow 2 characters domain names
= Data/Contact/AFNIC : new firstname method, the name() method should store only the lastname (this impacts both email and EPP operations)
= EPP/Extensions/AFNIC : various updates for next iteration of .FR EPP beta server
- DRD/*::object_types various fixes (removal of 'ns' when hosts are only attributes at registry)
- Transport : bugfix for encoding during logging (submitted by Trond Haugen) ; should probably be only temporary before a better logging system
- DRD : bugfix for host_update_name_set and has_object
- DRD/US : correct contact I18N (bugfix by Marc Winoto)
- EPP/Connection : handle newlines before closing node (bugfix by Marc Winoto)

0.91 2008-07-30

+ .BR EPP support, with Domain and Organization extensions (see t/635br_epp.t)
+ OpenSRS XCP protocol (resellers interface): preliminary implementation, only domain_info and account_list_domains (see t/639opensrs_xcp.t and t/704opensrs_xcp_live.t)
+ .US whois support
+ Experimental Net::DRI shell limited to domain check operations for now, see Net::DRI::Shell for details
+ Net::DRI::TrapExceptions, for easier tests/debugging (not considered to be part of official API, to use only inside t/*)
+ EPP/Core/RegistryMessage : for poll responses (all registries), info is now also available through keys related to the object queried,
  and not only just through the message retrieved. See tests around message_retrieve in t/635br_epp.t for examples
+ .JOBS Contact support and NameStore domain extension for contacts (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .PRO support, with domain activations (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .AT Domain keydate extension support (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .NO updates (submitted by Trond Haugen)
+ Transport/HTTP : new transport needed for pure HTTP/HTTPS registries (OpenSRS, .PL, .ES, etc.)
+ EPP/Extensions/PL/Connection : needed to be able to use HTTPS transport for .PL EPP
+ .FR EPP extensions (currently not in production at the registry) and related needed updates in DRD/AFNIC and Data/Contact/AFNIC
= */Connection Transport/Socket : get_data is now read_data, and write_message is mandatory (done previously somehow in corresponding Message classes) ; other methods expect the transport object as first parameter
= */Connection : EPP error code COMMAND_FAILED instead of COMMAND_SYNTAX_ERROR in most places
= DRD/PL : use EPP over HTTPS not over TLS
= EPP/Extensions/PL : updated to latest registry specifications (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol : new API for factories() and capabilities()
= DRD : extra parameters allowed in input API for all contact_* methods (needed by some registries)
= EPP/Message : internal API (for EPP extensions) changes, removal of get_content(), addition of nsattrs()
                all EPP modules were modified to fit this new API ; extensions developers should sync their work and always use current EPP/Core/* modules as guidelines
= EPP/Core/Domain : no need to provide IPs of nameservers during update in the rem section
= EPP/Connection : fix message retrieval for broken registries that send carriage returns (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Contact/AFNIC : take into account various ways to have a date (needed for new EPP extensions)
= Data/StatusList : new rem() method to remove a status from the list when really needed
- EPP/Message : correct parse of trID blocks in case of multiple occurences (from original bug report by Trond Haugen) ;
                this prompted a review of various EPP XML parse methods (Core and Extensions), where getElementsByTagNameNS have been changed to getChildrenByTagNameNS,
                which should improve correctness and speed.
- EPP/Core/Domain : domain:null variant should only be used during update and not in other case (from original bug report by Trond Haugen)
- EPP/Extensions/{DNSBE,EURid} : correctly handle version 1.0 (from original bug report on .BE by Andreas Wittkemper)

0.90 2008-06-12

+ .EU EPP support: updates for Registration guidelines version 1.1B (changes in contact info/update) + release 5.5 (13 May 2008)
      Added proper methods in DRD/EURid so that remote_object is not needed for .EU operations like transfer from quarantine, trade, undelete, etc.
      See t/606eurid_epp.t especially for trade operations because of change in API
+ .UK full support (except registry notifications, not available at registry), including domain creations, domain updates and account updates
+ .NO ccTLD EPP support added, see t/633norid_epp. Also added a command line EPP client for .NO with some POD documentation, see eg/epp_client_no.pl and also a filter utility eg/xmlfilter.pl to present the xml-sequences (submitted by Trond Haugen)
+ .DE support (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .CH/.LI support (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .HN/.SC/.VC/.AG/.BZ/.LC/.MN support with Afilias extensions IDNLanguage & Restore (from original work by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .ME and .CZ support (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .TRAVEL UIN support (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ .TRAVEL whois support (see eg/whois.pl)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/PIR* renamed to Protocol/EPP/Extensions/Afilias
= Remove use of remote_object by creating appropriate extra methods in DRD/LU (the same should be done for extensions defining new actions/subjects)
= EPP/Message : better handling of pure extension messages (no command)
= EPP/Core/{Domain,Contact} : better handling of authinfo (2 variants during built when empty, and only parsing RFC defined version during info)
= EPP/Core/{Domain,Contact} : for update() do not bother checking pending changes, this has to be done earlier, in DRD, to make sure all extension cases are taken into account
= EPP/Core/Contact : handling registries not following EPP RFC by omitting the type parameter for postalinfo data (like .CZ)
= EPP/Message : better handling of pure extension messages (without a command node)
= DRD/ICANN : some gTLD registries are now allowed to create one or two characters domain names
= DRD/VNDS : add .bz/.jobs (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
= DRD/*::verify_name_domain() : homogenize error codes (if your code depends on them, please update it based on new values)
= EPP/Extensions/{DNSBE,EURid}/Domain::transferq_request() : use key 'duration' instead of 'period'
= EPP/Extensions/AT/Domain : use of Message cltrid, no need to create a new one
= Transport/Socket : handle registries without greeting, like DENIC
= Data/Changes : added method is_empty()
= Data/Hosts : removal of the roid() accesor, added extra parameters for each nameserver, as a ref hash, which can have, for example, a roid key
= DRD::is_my_tld() is more strict in default case
= DRD::check_name() allow to check multiple cases of number of dots in name being checked
= DRD::*_update() : better take into account all capabilities to check the content of the changes being done (from original bugreport by Tonnerre Lombard)
= DRD::message_count(): we try to use information already gathered (as EPP registries can give information with msgQ during any command response) before attempting a new message retrieve; same for message_waiting which calls message_count ; see end of t/601vnds_epp for example
= DRD::err_invalid_* are now proper class methods
= EPP/Core/RegistryMessage various optimizations
- Updated examples in eg/ for correct use of local_object() : no need to call new() on it
- DRD : fix host_create not to check TLD of hostname being created (from original bugreport by Magnus Lind)
- DRD/NAME : contact internationalization (reported by Tonnerre Lombard)
- DRD::is_thick() removed
- DRD, DRD/NAME : fix test of domain names in registries with multiple zones (number of dots)
- EPP/Extensions/{AT,ASIA} various bugfixes (contributed by Tonnerre Lombard)
- .FR various bugfixes on domain operations
- Removal of all Protocol/*/Message::get_name_from_message() ugly hack for something less ugly but still kind of an hack.
- Factorization of various verify_rd() methods into Net::DRI::Util::has_key,has_contactset,has_ns,has_auth,has_duration,isa_contactset,isa_contact,isa_hosts,isa_changes ; this simplifies of lot of code under Protocol/*

0.85 2008-02-12

+ .UK EPP support: only some operations for now, see t/626nominet_epp.t (not implemented for now: domain & account updates, domain creations, registry notifications)
+ .AU EPP support (submitted by Rony Meyer)
+ OVH : implemented resellers Web Services API (2 functions only for now: account_list_domains and domain_info), see t/623ovh_ws_live.t
+ BookMyName (aka Free/ProXad/Online/Dedibox/Iliad) : implemented resellers Web Services API (2 functions only for now: account_list_domains and domain_info), see t/624bookmyname_ws_live.t
+ Gandi : implemented resellers Web Services API (2 functions only for now: account_list_domains and domain_info), see t/625gandi_ws_live.t
+ Registry : yet another API for new_profile/new_current_profile ! This should have been the only one since the beginning. See files in eg/*
                      Previous API may be deprecated in the future to keep only two: full one (profile name, transport name, transport params, protocol name, protocol params)
                      and the new one (profile name, profile type, transport params, protocol params)
+ Added Whois support for: .LU .WS .SE .CAT .AT
+ Implemented RFC5076 (ENUM Validation Information) in Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Extensions::E164Validation and Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Extensions::E164Validation::RFC5076
   (the RFC allows numerous ways to encode validation information,hence the example inside the RFC is handled in a separate module. Other examples from registries are welcome)
+ PIR IDNLanguage extension (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard, added with modifications)
+ .NAME EmailFwd operations (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard, added with modifications)
+ .US DRD module (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard, added with modifications)
+ Added Data/Hosts::as_string() for debugging, and Data/Hosts::roid()
+ Additional API for domain_renew in line with other parts with just a domain name and an optional extension as ref hash; see example in t/622vnds_epp_e164validation.t
= Better handling of EPP contacts internationalization : each DRD module can specify what the registry expects for contacts data.
   By default, all 3 cases allowed, except for : .BE .EU .LU (localized only), .AT (internationalized only) and .BIZ (internationalized only or internationalized and localized together).
   When needed the data is contructed with Contact::int2loc() and Contact::loc2int()
   Contact::_intfirst() is thus removed as useless now
= DRD/NAME : 1 year possible in periods() (reported by Alexander Biehl)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/VeriSign/NameStore : taking into account .CC and .TV (reported by Tonnerre Lombard, added with modifications)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/US/Contact : update to currently deployed version (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/ASIA/CED : remove extraneous ced hash level in domain_create and fix retrieval of maintainerUrl information (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/ASIA/IPR : add support for parsing domainRoid in domain:create, replace obsolete ipr:phase with ipr:type (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/LU : fix fetching of DNSLU type parameter in certain cases (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/AT : parse more information from .AT messages (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol/EPP/Core/Contact : support registries violating EPP with an empty contact:clID (from original bugreport by Alexander Biehl)
= Protocol/EPP : we correctly parse multiple results (in case of errors), and return them if asked for ;
		this had consequences for result_extra_info, see comments in Message (Core+DNSBE+EURid), and NameStore
= Protocol/EPP various parses : better use of date parsing
= Protocol/EPP object can be instanciated with overriding core methods (needed for Nominet)
= Protocol/EPP hosts parsing : we keep all IPs even private ones
= ResultStatus : can handle more than one status, as a linked list (next() method)
= Data/Hosts : we remove the final dot from names if present
= Protocol::reaction : we create the result_status subkey for all elements in cache created by this action, not only the main element
   (this is especially useful for registries giving back a lot of information, like Nominet during a domain:info call giving back information useful for a contact:info or host:info)
= Registry::result_status() gives back the whole ResultStatus object
= Added Registry::get_info_all() and Registry::get_info_keys()
= Modules SOAP::Lite, Net::SMTP, MIME::Entity previously required are now optional because used only by some registries not EPP. t/004load_optional will test their presence,
   warn which are needed for which Net::DRI use, and test their dependencies inside Net::DRI
   Same for new modules: SOAP::WSDL (needs SOAP::Lite) and XMLRPC::Lite (provided by SOAP::Lite)
   Later on, a Bundle::NetDRI could be created to install also all optional modules
   This means for now less hard dependencies for default case, that is EPP registries
= DRD->info() can be called through DRI (from initial report by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Cache::get & Cache::set : we do not force the key in lowercase anymore, as contact IDs may be case sensitive
= No more eval { require }, using UNIVERSAL::require instead
- EPP contacts : use of EPP::Message::core_contact_types() to correctly handle case of .EU/.BE
- Protocol/EPP/Extensions/ASIA/IPR : removing use of Date::Parse::str2time()
- Protocol/EPP/Extensions/LU/Status : allow to use status 'inactive' (registry specific, not in EPP) (from original bugreport by Alexander Biehl), see last test in t/620lu_epp.t
- Protocol/EPP/Extensions/LU/Poll : correctly retrieve the type attribute (from original bugreport by Alexander Biehl)
- DRD/AT : bugfix for is_my_tld() (reported by Tonnerre Lombard)
- README : typos (there is no Net::DRI::Data::Host module) (reported by Trond Haugen)
- t/003critic : better loading of module Test::Perl::Critic which is optional (only needed for tests)
- Gandi Web scraping : totally removed as it was deprecated since a long time, and thus Transport/Web and its WWW::Mechanize dependency (this can be added back later if needed)
- DRD::is_thick : will carp if still used, deprecated
- DRD::root_servers() removed, not used (was only in DRD/VNDS)

0.81 2007-11-07

= Updated all RFCs references related to EPP : RFCs 4930,4931,4932,4933,4934 are now obsoleting RFCs 3730,3731,3732,3733,3734
  xsi:schemaLocation is not removed in messages created, but may be removed in future releases
  we do not add an empty domain:chg any more for pure extension update commands
= Conformity with Perl critic Best Practices (level 5)
+ Added support for .ASIA extensions (work submitted by Tonnerre Lombard)
+ Update for .EU : taking into account new version=2 for domain_info & domain_check (retrieving more data from registry)

+ Contact : new method _intfirst() (from suggestion by Rony Meyer)
+ Transport/Socket : new parameter protocol_data, see documentation (from idea by Rony Meyer)
+ DRD/VNDS : also handle .CC & .TV

+ 3 new EPP extensions for CentralNic : WebForwarding, TTL & Domain Release (see t/621centralnic_epp.t for examples of use)
+ Whois support for .MOBI .NAME (see example in eg/whois.pl) 
+ Transport : new way to do logging (send/receive methods receive an extra parameter at beginning, the trid)
= DRD : is_my_tld() correctly handles registries with more than one TLD (from initial bugreport by Rony Meyer)
= Data/Hosts : new method clear() (patch by Tonnerre Lombard)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/VeriSign/NameStore : extension not always provided by registry (bugfix from Rony Meyer)
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/VeriSign/IDNLanguage DRD/ICANN : allow use of xn-- domain names (from suggestion by Rony Meyer)
  [ This may change in the future, depending on how Net::DRI implements IDN ]
- DRD : bugfix in domain_can (bugfix from Tonnerre Lombard)
- Protocol/EPP/* (various parses) : better handling of XML nodes/elements (from initial bugreport by Tonnerre Lombard for .LU)

0.80 2007-04-19

+ DAS support for .EU & .BE : quick lookup of domain availability ; see eg/eurid_das.pl for an example (same interface as domain_check)
+ Whois support (RFC3912) for thick registries (full) and thin registries (only registry part) ; see eg/whois.pl for an example (same interface as domain_info) ;

= .AT updates (contributed by Michael Braunoeder from NIC.AT)
= Data/Contact : new as_string() method for quick display
= Data/ContactSet : minor changes, rem as alias to del, add/del/set returns the object itself, as new() (with explicit return)

+ ResultStatus->trid() can also be called in list context to get back for EPP the svTRID along with the clTRID (suggestion by Elias Sidenbladh)
= DRD : for transfers, like for creations, the duration is in the duration attribute not period
= Protocol/EPP/Extensions/EURid/Domain : multiple nsgroup can be given (patch from Christian Kratzer)
= DRD/ICANN : taking care of some lifted restrictions for newest gTLDs (starting with .TRAVEL)

0.22 2006-05-12

+ EPP Poll from prototype by Elias Sidenbladh (Protocol/EPP/Core/RegistryMessage) : new methods message_retrieve() (=poll request)
  message_delete() (=poll ack) and message_waiting() in Net::DRI
  Please see examples at the end of t/601vnds_epp.t on how to retrieve info on a message, and info on all messages (count & first id).
+ Preliminary support for .FR/.RE by email : only domain creation for now, without parsing of registry emails coming back
  (Net::DRI::Data::Contact::AFNIC Net::DRI::Protocol::AFNIC::Email Net::DRI::Protocol::AFNIC::Email::Message
  Net::DRI::Protocol::AFNIC::Email::Domain Net::DRI::Transport::SMTP)
  For all asynchronous operations, the result status is command successful but pending.
+ In all result status, new method trid() that stores the (local/client) transaction identifier of the operation
  that generated this result status, and new method is_pending() to know if the operation has been done
  or is pending review, which will be the case for all asynchronous registries (Protocol/ResultStatus)
= EPP + RRP : we use the nameserver list provided in domain operations only if it is not empty
= Data/Contact/EURid : lower limits for name/org length than in EPP

0.21 2006-03-04

+ Support for .SE (based on EPP) thanks to Elias Sidenbladh and the NIC SE team
+ Support for .PL (based on EPP) except the Future object (interoperability with registry not tested)
+ Data/Contact,Protocol/EPP/Core/Contact : we now handle both internationalized and localized data,
  for registries handling both. Changes are backwards compatible with previous version, but make
  sure to test on your systems before installing in production.
+ Protocol/ResultStatus : new print_full() method to have all details from registry
+ Data/Hosts : new set() method
+ Transport : we keep time of last use (idea from Brian), with method time_used()
= Transport/Socket : if sending fails, and retry > 1, we try to reconnect ; this is a crude way to handle registry timeouts
= local_object() enables you to create any kind of local objects, including hosts, contacts, contactsets,
  changes, etc... without having to load and directly call Net::DRI::Data::Hosts,Contact,ContactSet,Changes
  Please see the modified t/606eurid_epp.t for examples
= better error debugging in new_profile() when loading Transport and Protocol classes
= Transport/Socket : do not use IO::Socket::SSL::context_init anymore, it is marked as deprecated in module
- Protocol/EPP/Message : correct creation of <hello/> commands (bug found by Elias Sidenbladh)
- Protocol/{EPP,RRP}/Message : correct encoding of outgoing messages with Encode::encode()
- eg/eurid_epp.pl : the filehandle used for logging must be closed after $dri->end() not before

0.20 2005-12-02

+ EURid/Sunrise : we automatically reconnect after each apply command (successful or not), when needed,
                  since the connection is dropped by registry (bug reported by Lucas Vossberg)
+ Transport/Socket : a client certificate is no more mandatory, the default verification level is lowered,
                     better error message for SSL problems (suggested by Peter van Dijk)
- Protocol/EPP/Extensions/EURid/Sunrise : various bugfixes for documentaryevidence=thirdparty (found by Yves Cartenstadt)
= EURid : the sample provided (eurid_epp.pl) dumps all exchanges to a file

0.19 2005-11-14

+ Updates for conformity with latest EURid specifications :
   # extra information in result of apply during Sunrise (reference, code, crDate)
   # new action apply_info during Sunrise to get back information on previously submitted applications
   (reference, code, crDate, application_status, contact, ns, docsReceivedDate, adr)
+ Protocol/Resultatus : extra information from registry (error messages) is available with info()
+ EPP/Extensions/EURid : we parse eurid:msg for extra information, especially useful if errors
- EPP/Extensions/EURid/Sunrise : invalid call for nsgroup (bug found & fixed by Jørgen Thomsen)
= Data/Hosts has 2 significative changes : you can use get_details with a name and
  you can add a nameserver already in the list, in which case the new IP addresses are added with existing
  ones (without duplicates)

0.18 2005-11-06

+ Many improvements for .EU support : no need to specify empty useless values needed for EPP
  but not used by EURid (domain/contact auth), no status handling for domains, example
  for test systems (eg/eurid_epp.pl)
- EPP/Message : use bytes is necessary for correct length calculation
= Transport : if a server closes the connection on us (at protocol level, not socket one),
  we note the fact and will try to reconnect later if needed
= RRP : take into account PENDINGRESTORE PENDINGDELETE PENDINGTRANSFER status

0.17 2005-10-24

+ Full support for EURid (.EU) with Net::DRI::DRD::EURid, Net::DRI::Data::Contact::EURid,
  Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Extensions::EURid and Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Extensions::EURid::*
+ Query list of object types managed by registry (ex: domain, contact, etc...) with $dri->has_object()
+ A copy of all exchanges can be sent to the filehandle of your choice
  (see log_fh in Net::DRI::Transport)
- BUGFIX in handling of dates in EPP : we switch to UTC before printing
- BUGFIX in Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Connection : data may come in multiple chunks
- BUGFIX in Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Core::Domain : handling of hosts as attributes
= Net::DRI::Data::Hosts::add() returns the object itself (useful for chains)
= Net::DRI::Data::Contact::validate() verifies the country code against the list in Util
= No more hardcoding of various xml namespaces names in various modules, the list is
  set during protocol object creation.
= domain_create() : a duration is not mandatory

0.16 2005-10-04

+ Three new EPP extensions : SecDNS (for DNSSEC), E164 (for ENUM) and NSgroup (for .BE & .EU)
+ New registry : .WS
+ New API in addition to the existing one, with Net::DRI::Data::RegistryObject : needed for extensions
  that handle new types of objects, such as NSgroup
+ Take into account new error codes for AFNIC Web Services (technical note RP-20050913/DT-01)
+ Add a name() and loid() accessor in Net::DRI::Data::Hosts
- In EPP, we load host commands only if hosts are handled as an object by the registry
- For domain_info(), host_info() and contact_info() we use data from cache, if we really
  did an *_info() before.
- Various bugfixes in DRD and RRP protocol.
= Rework of Net:DRI::Protocol::ResultStatus & associated classes to handle more cases
  by directly passing the EPP code
= Simpler in-memory XML nodes representation in Net::DRI::Protocol::EPP::Message
= Rework of Net::DRI::Protocol::{EPP,RRP}::Connection & Net::DRI::Transport::Socket (send_login)
  to die with a Net::DRI::Protocol::ResultStatus in case of problems
  + Changes in Net::DRI::Registry::new{,_current}_profile to return a ResultStatus object
= Change in EPP domain_update as RFC3731 is ambigous (text & XML schema do not agree)
  With this change, we now conform to the XML schema, which seems normative per
  provreg mailing-list consensus. This will break with any server implementing the text part

0.15 2005-07-20

+ New protocol: EPP, with Grace Period extension (other can easily be added)
+ Better way to create statuses (no() function in StatusList), see README for domain_update_status_add
  and statuses name are not put in uppercase automatically
+ Handling of contacts : modules Contact & ContactSet + new functions in DRD (contact_*)
+ New functions: domain_check_multi, host_check_multi (if registry supports, check multiple objects at once)
- BUGFIX in Net::DRI::Util::is_ipv6
- BUGFIX : better checks of references with UNIVERSAL::isa instead of pure ref()
= Rework of Net::DRI::Transport::Socket & associated connection classes

0.12 2005-05-31

+ New transport: Web (Web Scraping)
+ New protocol: Gandi Web Site (domain update only)
+ New protocol: AFNIC web services (domain check only)
+ New way of using profiles in Net::DRI::Registry : an auto switch functionnality is provided
    so that the calling app does not have to call target() explicitely over and over
    (see README for details)
- BUGFIX for RRP : order of elements is now exactly as specified by standard
- BUGFIX for Net::DRI::DRD in host_is_mine: parameters (warning not triggered in some perls)
- BUGFIX for Net::DRI::DRD in err_invalid_domain_name/err_invalid_host_name: correct message 
                                               & really raise an exception if a problem is found !
- BUGFIX for Net::DRI::DRD in check_name: correct count of dots
+ Net::DRI::Transport::Socket : require on the protocol connection class to make sure it works
- DOCFIX for Net::DRI::Data::Hosts (a ] was missing for the ref array of IPs)
+ New tests for Net::DRI::Protocol::RRP::Connection, Net::DRI::Protocol::AFNIC::WS::Message,
   Net::DRI::Protocol::Gandi::Web::Message, Net::DRI::Protocol::Gandi::Web::Connection
