Dear all,

I am pleased to announce the 1.55 release of Net::DNS.

This release has two bugfixes

  * A fix for 1 byte TCP packets containing “0” being interpreted as
    EOF, corrupting AXFRs (See RT#176900
    <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=176900>)
  * Removing usage of backticks in UNIX.pm which depend on shell (See
    RT#177003 <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=177003>)

Besides these fixes, Net::DNS now also provides stack traces for taint 
violations (See RT#178183 
<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=178183>)
