The new PEAR package Net_DNS2-1.3.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
- re-worked a lot of the code around OPT RR's, including adding support for the DO flag
- added the AD and CD flags to the Net_DNS2_Header class for DNSSEC
- added a new function to keep track of RR's that should NOT be cached.
- added a new flag (dnssec) to request DNSSEC lookups; this adds an OPT RR to the additional section
- added a new flag (dnssec_payload_size) to adjust the EDNS(0) UDP payload size.
- added a new flag (dnssec_cd_flag) to set the DNSSEC CD bit to disable signature validation.
- added a new flag (dnssec_ad_flag) to set the DNSSEC AD bit to request authentic data without needing to set the DO flag.
- fixed an issue in Net_DNS2_Socket_Sockets; Windows (specifically < 2003) has problems with MSG_WAITALL
- changed Net_DNS2_RR::__construct() to use get_class() instead of get_called_class()
- added a DNSSEC test to the testing suite.

Package Info
------------
Provides (roughly) the same functionality as Net_DNS, but using PHP5 objects, exceptions for error handling, better sockets support.

This release is (in most cases) 2x - 10x faster than Net_DNS, as well as includes more RR's (including DNSSEC RR's), and improved sockets and streams support.
