Major changes in version 1.2:

* New encoding converters for `BRACE' and `LACE' are implemented.

* New normalize schemes `ja-compose-voiced-sound', 'ja-kana-fullwidth'

and 'ja-alnum-halfwidth' introduced.

* mDN Wrapper is thoroughly overhauled.

- Log level can be specified by using GUI (or directly editing the

registry Software\JPNIC\MDN\LogLevel). Note that fine grain

control over logging is supported only by the MDN library (libmdn).

Log output from mDN Wrapper itself can be turned on or off, but

no log level support.

- Log file can also specified.

- Some serious bugs are fixed, including incorrect program-side

encoding (codeset) detection.

- Advanced configuration feature implemented. Now DNS encoding and

normalization can be customizable. Also you can configure which

winsock DLL to be wrapped.

* dnsproxy and mDN Wrapper now correctly accept and process client-

supplied domain names encoded in the alternate encoding. Previously

worked correctly only when the alternate encoding happened to be the

same as the server encoding.

* 8bit-through patch for BIND-8.2.2-P5 is replaced by a new patch

for BIND-8.2.2-P7.

* A buffer overrun bug in RACE converter is fixed.

Major changes in version 1.1:

* Log level of dnsproxy can be specified with ``log-level'' entry.

available levels are `none', `fatal', `warning' and `trace'. See

dnsproxy.8 or dnsproxy.conf.sample for details.

* Sending SIGHUP to dnsproxy causes it to close and re-open the log file.

Useful for log file turnover.

* If log file is not specified, dnsproxy uses the default log file

/tmp/dnsproxy.log. Previously behavior was that no logging was done

at all, conflicting with what document says.

* dnsproxy won't terminate even if recvfrom() returns unexpected

errors such as `connection refused (ECONNREFUSED)'. On Linux, it is

reported that it sometimes returns this error even for

connection-less (ie UDP) sockets.

* DNS message ID allocation/release bugs in dnsproxy are fixed.

Previously dnsproxy seems to stop working if it receives more than

4096 requests in 10 minutes.

* RACE conversion bug is fixed. Previously, if the prefix part contains

any uppercase letters (such as "Bq--"), it is not recognized as a

RACE prefix.
