Net-DNS 0.47 vs. 1.25

Hi,

is there a specific reason why we're still using 'Net-DNS 0.47', dated 01.04.2004?

I built the current version (1.25, 26.06.2020) today, together with 'digest-hmac 1.03' and 'digest-sha1 2.13'. Especially the changelog for Net-DNS is really huge. After some rootfile adjustments all of them compiled without errors.

But what made me wonder: Net-DNS didn't use the path .../xxxMACHINExxx-linux-thread-multi/... anymore, except for .../xxxMACHINExxx-linux-thread-multi/auto/...

Could we use these updates? Or did I miss something?

Opinions?

Best, Matthias
