Dear users of Net::DNS::SEC,

We have a candidate for the upcoming 0.22 release of Net::DNS::SEC.
This release introduces the following new features and improvements:

* RRSIG::siginception and RRSIG::siginception in time values

	RRSIG::siginception and RRSIG::siginception now returns,
	besides the format date in string context like before, the date
	as seconds since epoch in numeric context.

* ECDSA and GOST signature creation and verification

	The optional Crypt::OpenSSL::EC, Crypt::OpenSSL::ECDSA and
	Digest::GOST need to be available to enable this feature.

* Version requirements detection for optional modules

	Besides the optional modules just mentioned,
	Crypt::OpenSSL::Random is an optional module which enables
	private key generation and Digest::BubbleBabble enables
	Net::DNS::RR::DS::babble

Besides these features, architectural modifications have been made to
loosen the Net::DNS::RR::* classes from the Net::DNS::SEC package, so
that they can be added to the regular Net::DNS in the future, although
without cryptographic operations.

To this end, all cryptographic operations are now concentrated in
their own modules Net::DNS::SEC::RSA, Net::DNS::SEC::DSA,
Net::DNS::SEC::ECDSA and Net::DNS::SEC::ECCGOST.

An affected module of this rework is Net::DNS::SEC::Private.   This
module previously performed cryptographic operations with the
generate_rsa, new_rsa_priv and dump_rsa_* methods.

The generate_rsa and new_rsa_priv methods are still available as
before, but the dump_rsa_* methods are now available only if the
generate_rsa or new_rsa_priv function were used to create the
Net::DNS::SEC::Private object.  This is different from previous behaviour.

Note that the Private.pm module had and has the following text at the
top of its documentation: "The class is written to be used only in the
context of the Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG create method. This class is not
designed to interact with any other system."

If you  depend upon this module nonetheless, please let us know,
preferably with a use case.

Please review this version carefully and regression-test it with your
software. If no issues arise, the actual release will follow Wedensday
the 11th of February 2015.
