I believe the fixes I made to delphinusdnsd (on linux) were good. I'm going
to backport the code to the STABLE_1_4 branch soon and then tag it
RELEASE_1_4_1. I'm gonna run the code as it is now for another week on the
particular Linux computer that had problems throughout december and early
january and if I don't see any more crashes then it's a done deal. Sorry
for inconveniences. This I believe did not affect BSD versions of this
code, only Linux although and off-by-one was fixed (I think), that should
have impact on all platforms.

Something is wrong with delphinusdnsd 1.4 (on linux)
January 9th, 2020
Sorry to bring these bad news...
I have noticed segfaults on Linux but not on OpenBSD, in the TCP engine
(tcploop()). I have for the time being reinstalled nsd on the linux replicant
and I'll have to see what's causing this. I know of one possible off-by-one
buffer overflow but I couldn't exploit it with my test program. I'm still
looking. I suspect that the problem may be with the linux TAILQ macros as I
remove a member from the tailq and it wasn't _SAFE (which is only found in
libbsd) so there is some room for corruption there. I'll look at replacing
the TAILQ macros with their libbsd equivalents for 1.5.0 and possibly backport
it to 1.4.1. Still deciding what to do and how to it correctly. I haven't
seen the OpenBSD delphinusdnsd with this behaviour, and that is what I care
most about.

Recent modification fixes answers for PowerDNS recursors
December 27th, 2019
Revision 1.98 of reply.c does more reply length checks and truncates when
appropriate. Before it gave weird answers because it excluded RRSIG's and
fit NSEC3's which was bogus. PowerDNS recursor noticed this as bogus and would
mark all zones on those nameserver as bogus (as tested). Of course PowerDNS
was right in this, and my code was wrong. Much thanks to Peng_ in #dns on
freenode who helped me debug this problem.

1.4.0 Release in January after all
December 26th, 2019
I found some problems with delphinusdnsd and I'd like a week of testing before
tagging it a release. I'm hoping for a release around or on January 2nd, 2020.

Last patch was wrong
December 22th, 2019
Sorry to bother you again, the last patch was wrong, I had edited the article
directly but you wouldn't see it if you didn't reload it. Here it is
again.

Security problem identified
December 22nd, 2019
Here is a patch,
if you're using the daemon. Unfortunately this won't be available until the
release day. I'm mindsearching if I'm going to put this release off until
next year (2020).

Wishing you a happy time
December 20th, 2019
I'd like to wish you a happy december solstice and a merry christmas. I'm
going away for 6 days from my work setup until the 26th when I'll be back
in my apartment and doing the final check for delphinusdnsd and then
releasing it.

Three days of testing remain
December 19th, 2019
Today I installed NetBSD and noticed I don't really know too much about this
BSD. It was sorta hard. But I finally managed to install Delphinusdnsd to
it and it prompted for some makefile changes. So then I'll be revisiting
all test platforms tomorrow and on the 26th and 27th after which I will
tag a release in the tree and make the tarball available. Unfortunately
christmas is in the way or else I'd have a few more days. And commitments
after the 27th until new years take away also a few more days. If you want
to try out Delphinusdnsd grab a snapshot and test. It's likely not going to
change in a big way in these last three days. If you'd rather wait for the
1.4 tarball, there is eight days left to wait for that.

1.4.0 Release likely on Friday December 27
December 15th, 2019
Due to some family commitments I have to move the release closer to christmas
and the 29th which is what I would have chosen is a sunday. So it'll be the
27th (a friday). So the 26th and 27th will be final tests, next week the
16th throughout the 21st will be any last minute coding changes.
