  12 New in version 0.7
  13 ==================
  14
  15 STDIN can now also be an input source if
  16   1, filename '-' is used when doing simple filtering.
  17   2, filename '-' is stated as file with the 'zonefile' directive in
  18      the filter configuration file (-F).
  19   3, No zonefile is specified in the filter configuration file (-F).
  20
  21 -I switch fixed
  22
  23
  24 New in version 0.6
  25 ==================
  26
  27 A security problem existed as A-records in "forbidden" zones could be
  28 sneaked in with MX/PTR/NS-records when specifiying ip as well. Now
  29 these 'x'-fields are filtered equally as fqdn:s when specified along
  30 with 'ip'-fields, i.e. implicit A-record.
  31
  32 -x switch added to exit program with exitcode instead of 0. This enables
  33 shellscripts and Makefiles to determine if errors occured or not.
  34
  35 -q switch documented.
  36
  37 -v switch removed as it was not used.
  38
  39 hostname parts and fqdn:s now allowed to be stated in upper case.
  40
  41
  42 New in version 0.5
  43 ==================
  44 Tiny cosmetic fix
  45
  46
  47 New in version 0.4
  48 ==================
  49
  50 Switch -r now just relaxes on 'root' records, i.e. fqdn == empty == root.
  51
  52 Switch -R now relaxes on 'mname', 'p' and 'rdata' being empty.
  53   Valid but with limited value.
  54
  55 Switch -i now relaxes on empty 'ip'-values. Does not generate any record.
  56   Really silly.
  57
  58 Totally empty records are also validated now. (i.e. max(tokens, mandatory))
  59
  60 :-records are now validated. Record type must not be 2 (NS), 5 (CNAME),
  61   6 (SOA), 12 (PTR), 15 (MX), or 252 (AXFR).
  62
  63 File include is now possible in filter files like this:
  64
  65         deny    file:/etc/zones/localzones.txt
  66
  67    or even
  68
  69         zonefile  file:/etc/zones/zonefiles.txt
  70
  71    (Note that inclusion of a file is initiated when a value starts with 'file:'
  72     and the part after this prefix is used as filename. This part is also
  73     used as a key to cache the content read, so multiple inclusions of the same
  74     file is not read from disk during a _single_ valtz-round. This is only
  75     applicable when globbing with -F,
  76     e.g. valtz -F /etc/zones/filters/zone-filter-external-*
  77     and several of these files include the same file with file:... )
  78
  79 ipprefix is no longer mandatory in %lo-lines.
  80
  81 ignores excessive fields
  82
  83 Validates us of locations against previously defined %lo:s. Note that this
  84   requires lo:s to be declared before use. Really natural anyway.
  85
  86 Ignore files ending with ,v ~ .bak .log .old .swp .tmp
  87   (this ignoranze can be overridden by the switch -s)
