Dear All,

I am pleased to announce the special RIPE70 edition release candidate
for version 0.2.0 of our getdns API implementation.

This release candidate is for a release that has its intermediate
version bumped to indicate that we consider the native stub operation,
introduced in version 0.1.6, to be in a mature state.

Besides bug fixes, the DNS over TLS transport option, introduced in
the previous version, has been fully incorporated in the native stub
module and is now truly asynchronous in all its phases; include the
TCP and the TLS handshake.

In addition a new transport option is introduced with this release:
GETDNS_TRANSPORT_STARTTLS_FIRST_AND_FALL_BACK_TO_TCP_KEEP_CONNECTIONS_OPEN

A list of servers supporting TLS on port 1021 and STARTTLS on port 53
for testing purposes is available on the sinodun portal, here:
https://portal.sinodun.com/wiki/display/TDNS/DNS-over-TLS+test+servers

Note that this is a release candidate. It is distributed for you to
review before we do an actual release. Please review this candidate
carefully. If no issues arise the actual 0.2.0 release will follow
over one week on the 21th of May 2015.
