Dear All,

I am very pleased to announce that we have a beta release for version
1.0.0 of getdns

We are now 100% spec complete. The last remaining function from the
specification, getdns_context_set_follow_redirects(), is functional
with this release. This release also contains the following
improvements and non-spec features:

* A dnssec_return_all_statuses extension

	Use this extension if you want to know about DNSSEC status, but
	you don't want the DNSSEC protection. When this extension is
	set, all replies will always be included in the response dict,
	regardless their dnssec status.

	When used on its own or in combination with just
	dnssec_return_status, it will return BOGUS replies, but those
	replies will have "dnssec_status": GETDNS_DNSSEC_BOGUS. The
	response dict "status" will be GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_GOOD then.

	When used on in combination with dnssec_return_only_secure, it
	will return BOGUS and INSECURE replies (shown in their
	"dnssec_status"). The response dict "status" can be any of the
	status that the dnssec_return_only_secure extenstion returns,
	so GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_GOOD when at least one reply was secure,
	GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_NO_SECURE_ANSWERS when all replies were
	insecure, or GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_ALL_BOGUS_ANSWERS when all
	replies were bogus.

* Conversion functions for DNS messages.

	With these the unit tests could be adapted so they are not
	dependent on ldns anymore

* GETDNS_APPEND_NAME_TO_SINGLE_LABEL_FIRST default suffix

	This makes suffix handling more like what is conventional with
	system stub behaviour. Suffixes are appended to a name before
	trying it without suffixes, but only if the name consists of a
	single label.

* MS Windows version in 100% working

	The default event loop, that is also used for synchronous
	calls, has been renewed. With it, TCP and TLS transports are
	now also possible on MS Windows.

	The event loop extension (custom or not) will now also be used
	in recursive lookups (libunbound >= 1.5.9 is needed for this).
	Because of this it is now also possible to do recursive
	requests in MS Windows.

	The MS Windows native certificate store will be used with TLS
	transport and also suffixes are initialized as the system stub
	is.


Besides these new features and improvements, a few bugs have been
fixed. For a complete overview see the ChangeLog below.

We would kindly ask you to review and try out this beta release
thoroughly. The 1.0.0 release will follow as soon as we are confident
we haven't missed anything and it is ready for production
