Deadwood 2.6.05 released: Feature complete

Deadwood is now feature complete.

However, it does not pass the “browsing” test. In other words, when I start to surf the net with Deadwood, my web surfing experience is hindered because of issues in the code. I have found the following issues to resolve:

• CNAMEs pointing to nothing broken (e.g. AAAA for mail.google.com).
• Poor handling of unresponsive name servers (samiam.org, kintera.com)
• Use CryptGenRandom() as entropy source in Windows.

I hope to get these issues resolved. In the meantime, I have released Deadwood 2.6.05 today, which is a working recursive nameserver. It is in the testing/ directory here:
