## Deadwood

Deadwood is the code that will soon become MaraDNS' next recursive resolver; right now it is a recursive cache undergoing beta testing. Deadwood, unlike MaraDNS, does not need threads to resolve queries, and has features MaraDNS 1.x's recursive code doesn't have, such as "resurrections" and the ability to read and write the cache to disk.

## Previous stable release

This is the previous stable release of MaraDNS, MaraDNS 1.3.07.10, released February 2, 2010. This release doesn't have a couple of features MaraDNS 1.4 has (FQDN6 records, NAPTR support), nor bug fixes 1.4 has (Afnic fix, etc.). This release will be supported with security bug fixes until December 21, 2012.

## Tools to help verify the sums of MaraDNS (or any other file)

This is a mismash of various cryptographic summing algorithms. By and large, the programs in this tarball are not public domain

sums-20070214.tar.bz2 This is the actual code which performs various cryptographic hashes against the file. (PGP signature)

sums-papers-20010818.tar.bz2 This is a collection of papers describing some of the various cryptographic hashes.

## Obsolete 1.0 MaraDNS branch The obsolete 1.0 branch of MaraDNS. The only updates I would do on this branch are critical security fixes. You're better off using 1.2 or 1.3. If you want something small for embedded systems, the "Deadwood" code in the 1.3 development snapshots is your best bet. Unless you've found a critical security hole, I don't support this version.

## Information on file types

.bz2 A .bz2 file is compressed with the bzip2 program. The maradns tar.bz2 file contains the source code for MaraDNS.

.lzma A .lzma file is compressed with LZMA compression, which both compresses better and decompresses faster than bzip2 compressed files. Information on decompressing LZMA files can be found here. The maradns tar.lzma file contains the source code for MaraDNS.

.gz A .gz file is compressed with the gzip program. The maradns .tar.gz file contains the source code for MaraDNS.

.src.rpm A .src.rpm file is a package with source for rpm-based Linux distributions. This file was created on CentOS 3, and contains the source code for MaraDNS.

.i386.rpm A .i386.rpm file is a binary RPM package. The RPM file was built on CentOS 3, and should run on other RPM-based systems.

.zip A .zip file is a compressed file that Windows XP can open. The MaraDNS .zip file contains a Windows native binary of MaraDNS. This is a partial port of MaraDNS to Windows. While this port does not have all of the security nor features of the Linux/UNIX version of MaraDNS, this port allows Windows to have a basic, reasonably secure DNS client and recursive resolver. People who want a full Windows port of MaraDNS can compile MaraDNS on Cygwin.

.tgz A .tgz file is a tar.gz file. The MaraDNS .tgz file contains the Slackware package for MaraDNS.

.7z A .7z file is a file compressed by 7-zip. The MaraDNS .7z file contains the Windows port of MaraDNS.
