Over the last week, several commits have been made to the repositories hosting Beatnik and ldap2dns that have enabled IPv6 support in those applications. These changes come after several years of being on the "To-do" list and Alkaloid Networks is very excited to announce this key change in support of the future of the Internet. At this point the changes seem to be working, but feedback is, as always, appreciated. Look for IPv6 to be officially supported in the upcoming ldap2dns release version 0.5.0 and Beatnik 1.0.

Beatnik, The Horde project's DNS record manager, has made great strides over the last two years. The UI got the drastic overhaul it so badly needed. Some really helpful ease-of-use features were added like autogeneration from a template and one-click serial updating. Per-domain security can allow delegating responsibility of zone management to different Horde users. An, of course, many, many bugs were fixed along the way.

To take advantage of these exciting new features, check out the latest code from the repository for each application. ldap2dns is hosted in Alkaloid Networks' Subversion repository at http://svn.alkaloid.net/gpl while Beatnik is hosted in Horde's Git repository.
