I just uploaded version 0.996b of rbldnsd to
the usual place.  This version is mostly a
bugfix release (all the fixes collected since
Nov-2006, which is almost 1.5 years ago), and
it also contains small features.

Here's a NEWS file for this release:

0.996b (29 Mar 2008)

  - most stuff is very minor, while preparing for larger changes
    for 0.997 and 1.0.

  - several (mostly minor) bug and portability fixes.

  - feature: ability to specify "base template" for a dataset, using $=
    variable.  See manpage for details, "Resulting A values and TXT templates"
    section.

  - incompat: due to the above change ($= base template), in TXT entries which
    starts with equal sign (=), the first character (which is `=', obviously)
    is removed.  $= is now treated specially too.

  - feature: (experimental) support for dynamically-loaded extensions (DSOs),
    in place of (previously unfinished) compile-time "hooks" support.
    New options -x/-X, to load an extension and to specify argument for it.
    Usage document has to be written still.

It can be found, as usual, at
http://www.corpit.ru/rbldnsd.html (homepage) or
http://www.corpit.ru/rbldnsd/ (files area).

I'm planning to do some more-or-less major work in a few days,
so this release is to syncronize things before I will broke it
completely ;)

Thanks!
