Hello everybody,

Well, Posadis 0.60.0 <http://www.posadis.org/releases/0.60.0.php> was a 
fun ride while it lasted, but based on the feedback I received after the 
release, I was forced to release new versions of the Posadis programs to 
conquer problems that arose.

That's why I proudly release Posadis 0.60.1, which is mainly a bugfix 
release over 0.60.0, though it contains some new features as well. Since 
this release doesn't address any security problems, there's no really 
urgent need to upgrade if it all works for you, though this new release 
does fix a few important bugs. An upgrade of Poslib /is/ highly 
recommented since it fixes a major bug in the TCP code.

This release features new releases of the Poslib, Posadis, Dnsquery and 
Mfedit packages. You can get the latest versions of your favorite DNS 
packages from the Posadis.org download page 
<http://www.posadis.org/download.php> 
(http://www.posadis.org/download.php).
