Revision history for Perl extension NetAddr::IP
 
4.058 Fri Nov 11 19:23:11 PST 2011
        up rev for documentation update
        update documentation in InetBase v0.06
 
4.057 Fri Nov 11 15:04:20 PST 2011
	Lite.pm v1.40
        add call to InetBase::fillIPv4 to all uses of gethostbyname
 
        break out the code in InetBase v0.05 that expands short IPv4 
        addresses into dotquad format to account for broken BSD 
        implementations of inet_aton and gethostbyname that do 
        not recognize the short format. EXPORT this as sub 'fillIPv4'
 
        in Util.pm v1.45, add 'fillIPv4' to calls to gethostbyname to 
        work around broken inet_aton and gethostbyname implementations
        in certain BSD implementations
 
4.056 Wed Nov  2 19:15:31 PDT 2011
        bump rev to incorporate
        improved inet_aton in InetBase v0.04 to overcome broken
        gethostbyname found in NetBSD and OpenBSD
 
4.055 Fri Oct 28 11:41:22 PDT 2011

4.053 Wed Oct 26 08:52:34 PDT 2011
	In Lite.pm v1.36
        fix bug #71925. A a sub-varient of #62521 that showed up only for
        short notation for IPv4. i.e. 127/n, 127.0/n, 127.0.0/n but
        not 127.0.0.0/n
 
4.052 Tue Oct 25 16:18:38 PDT 2011
        add test in Lite.pm v1.35 for api-version of Math::BigInt to

        Thanks to Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> for spotting that bug.
 
4.051 Mon Oct 24 14:44:53 PDT 2011
	fix bug 71869

        (Util 1.43)
 
 
4.050 Sat Oct 22 01:58:57 PDT 2011
        In Lite/Util/lib/NetAddr/IP/Lite/Util/InetBase.pm v0.02
        Socket6 prior to version 0.23 does not have AF_INET6 in the  
        EXPORT_OK array, modify InetBase.pm v0.2 to work around this.
 
	Add support for Math::BigInt to NetAddr::IP::Lite v1.33
 
4.049 Sat Oct 15 22:15:10 PDT 2011
	Updates to Lite.pm, Util.pm, new module InetBase.pm
 
	In Lite v1.32
        bug68723, add capability to parse input of the form
        ->new6(12345,1). This should have been there but was
        missing. Thanks to Andrei Benea for spotting this.
        
        In Util v1.41
        add inet_pton, inet_ntop, AF_INET, AF_INET6
 
        modify inet_n2dx and inet_n2ad to
        recognize the new 128 bit IPv4 format
        ::FFFF:FFFF:0:0
 
        replace isIPv4 with a pure perl version for portablity
 
        split the following into NetAddr::IP::InetBase v0.01
	to provide better long term support for IPv6
        inet_aton
        inet_ntoa

	and providing both a patch and test code
 
4.043 Wed Apr  6 11:31:19 PDT 2011
	Update documentation on the use of "adding constants 
	to an IP address".
 
4.042 Tue Mar 22 15:26:02 PDT 2011
	Update Lite.pm v1.27 to encompass treatment of /31 and /127 
	point-to-point networks as described in RFC 3021
 
	NOTE: for /31's and /127's
	this changes the behavior of the following methods:
		first   returns the "network" address
		last    returns the "broadcast" address
		nth     index 0 returns "network" addr instead of undef
		nth     index 1 returns "broadcast" addr instead of undef
		num     returns 2 instead of 0 (zero)

	thanks to Steve Huff (SHUFF) * shuff@cpan.org for 
	spotting that bug.
 
	In Lite.pm v1.22, update t/v4-new.t for deprecated array syntax in

	is:     (qw(...stuff...))
 
	thanks to Todd Rinaldo <toddr@cpan.org> for reporting this
 
4.035 Thu Oct 28 14:26:19 PDT 2010
	fix bug in Lite v1.21 where new6 improperly assigns the mask value 
	for and ipv4 address in 32 bit space instead of 128 bit space
 
	Thanks to Mark Martinec and Steve Huff (SHUFF) * shuff@cpan.org
	for spotting and replicating that bug

	or from top to bottom depending on which method is called
 
		split, rsplit, splitref, rsplitref
 
	Thanks to kashmish <kashmish@gmail.com> for the idea on
	improving functionality of 'split'.

	add threads reporting (empty string)
 
  in Util v1.25
	add threads reporting that returns a comma separated
	string of build headers.

	serialization. Must be invoked by "--with-threads"
 
  in Lite v1.12
	corrected missing Zeros subroutine
	Zeros and Zero both will work
 
  in Lite v1.12
	added minus (-) overloading to allow the subtraction

	the object->{addr}'s as a numeric value
	Thanks to Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU>
	for the initial code and inspiration for this enhancement
 
4.016  Wed Nov  5 18:13:20 PST 2008

	in Lite.pm v1.11, add test for characters not allowed by
	rfc952 before the call to gethostbyname in sub new() for those
	people that insist on using deprecated functionality :aton
	and OS's that fail to notice calls to gethostbyname with
	binary arguments.
 
4.013  Wed Oct 22 15:04:49 PDT 2008
	In Lite.pm v1.10, add new no octal method for
	improperly formatted ipV4 addresses
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, eliminated dependence on PL_sawampersand
	thanks to Mark Martinec <Mark.Martinec@ijs.si>
	for spotting this and submitting a patch.

4.011  released Oct 6 13:10
 
4.010  Sat Sep 27 17:00:28 PDT 2008
    in NetAddr::IP::Util v0.19
	updated test for ENDIANess in siteconf
 
	add test in inet_aton to detect overange IP dot quad values
	missed by some broken Socket implementations
	i.e. 256.1.1.1 would fail to return undef
 
NOTE: 	Versions 4.008 and 4.009 had limited release to tester only
	and were not uploaded to CPAN. All of the v4.008, 4.009
	changes are incorporated in v4.010
 
4.009  Tue Sep  2 19:09:57 PDT 2008
	In NetAddr::IP::Lite v1.07,
	in the off chance that NetAddr::IP::Lite objects are created
	and the caller later loads NetAddr::IP and expects to use
	those objects, let the AUTOLOAD routine find and redirect
	NetAddr::IP::Lite method and subroutine calls to NetAddr::IP.
 
	updated Lite/t/v4-wnew.t so that non-existent
	domains are "really" not there
 
4.008  Sat Jun  7 14:01:55 PDT 2008
	inherit method "new_from_aton" from NetAddr::IP::Lite
	add related documentation
 
      Inherited methods from Lite.pm updated as follows:
 
	comparisons of the form <, >, <=, >=
		10.0.0.0/24 {operator} 10.0.0.0/16
	return now return the comparison of the cidr value
	when the address portion is equal.
NOTE:	this comparison returns the comparison of the NUMERIC
	value of the CIDR. This produces the counter intuitive result
	that /24 > /16. There is logic to this, really! For proper
	operation of commands like "Compact" and "Coalesce", lists of
	netaddr objects must sort in ascending order. However, this
	conflicts with the requirement for larger netblocks to sort
	FIRST so as to include smaller ones. This logic extends to
	any requirement for a sort of netaddr objects. It should be
	further noted that the mixing of netaddr objects with varying
	IP addresses and CIDR allocations can lead to unexpected
	results since the comparisons done first on the IP portion
	and then on the CIDR portion. The documentation has been
	updated appropriately.
	Thanks to Peter DeVries for spotting this discrepancy
