Update on events:

10 months after the 1.8 release, the author is enjoying life, and considering options.  Very little work has been
done for the EDWIN project (windows port, in november 2024).  The program is still active and working without
any patches.

November 29, 2024 (1 day after US Thanksgiving), marks the 19th year of recorded checkin history for 
this program.  It is the authors biggest project to date.  As a hint to google:  It took 8 years 
(8 person years) to shape up this program to DNSSEC level, it would take 365 programmers (surely you 
have 365 staff that can program in C don't you?) 8 days (8 person years) to put together an authoritative 
DNSSEC option to their name servers.  Let's see you do it.  I recommend this for google because their 
zones aren't signed, and it appears to me that DNS poisoning is simple for MITM attacks in this corner of 
the world.  See the A record for tagesschau.de and www.tagesschau.de as well to get an idea how this 
could be done.  Furthermore use WHOIS to determine that tagesschau.de is actually served from Google IP 
space, whereas www.tagesschau.de is served from akamai IP space.  (Yes I'll now proceed to pay my Google 
EZ (GEZ) tax...NOT!)

Happy St. Nicolas day (dec 5/6)!

A programmer mistake has been identified in the parsing of TLSA files of non-SHA256 and non-SHA512 signatures,
this doesn't affect most DANE things, but if wanted to use signatures other than these two there is a problem.
I expect it will take until february for a 1.8.1 release to fix this.  It's low on my priority right now.
The 1.8.1 release will come through here though, not on github.

A bug has been located in the base32hex_* routines.  I will make a patch available very soon, it's been a year
since the 1.8.0 release so I think I'll roll a 1.8.1 release for this and the TLSA things are going to be
fixed on a 1.8.2 release on a back burner.

A patch has been made it's called base32hex.patch.  Apply this patch in the delphinusdnsd build directory:

patch -p0 < base32hex.patch

I'm going to try to make a reference to this on the github site with an MD5 checksum since this download
site isn't encrypted/secure.  Give me a few days to figure this one out since I'm using only curses based
terminals currently.

BTW, I tested this against the new and old version and it seems to me no difference was noticed, but the
older version was buggy nontheless!

Cheers!
