Dear all,
We have a release candidate for a bugfix release version 1.1.3 of getdns.
The brew formula for getdns and Stubby were conflicting because they both installed Stubby.
To resolve, we gave Stubby its own repository (https://github.com/getdnsapi/stubby) with getdns as a library dependency.
This release will allow for two complementary brew formulas.
- One that installs the getdns library and the
getdns_query
tool with:
bash brew install getdns
- Another one that installs Stubby and (implicitly) the getdns library:
bash brew install stubby
This release does include the new Stubby from its own repository too, but it is not build by default anymore.
To build Stubby together with the library you must configure
it with the --with-stubby
option.
Besides this organizational matter, we have a few fixes for high priority bugs in this release:
- When UDP upstreams were "temporarily" failing, the upstream selection process would crash when it would come back to the first specified UDP upstream after it initially failed.
- High-load multi-threading environments had an serviceability issue, because file descriptors were closed repeatedly when they were finished.
As a result, a freshly obtained reused file descriptor by some thread could become unusable because it would be closed by another thread immediately.
A few more minor bugs have been addressed with this release too.
For a complete overview see the ChangeLog section below.
Please review this release candidate carefully, if all is well, the actual release will follow Friday the 1st of September.
