ANNOUNCEMENT: Public Release of Asused

Greetings,

The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the release of asused version 3.64.

Asused is a tool to check and summarise address space registered in
the RIPE database. For a given list of allocations the tool prints
various information concerning the allocations and the assignments
they contain.

The software is written in Perl and uses several Perl modules. 
 
Please grab it from:
  
  ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/asused-3.64.tar.gz

ChangeLog for version 3.64:

3.64	Wed Oct 10 14:22:24 2001
	
	* Fixed recognition of inetnum objects with <tab> sign in the range.
	* Broken dates in changed: field now handled properly, without exiting
	the program.
	* Fixed failure in case of registry with no allocations.
	* Recognize mixed case status: fields.
	
3.63	Tue Aug 21 13:52:04 2001
	
	* Fixed netname handling according to the RIPE223 - now, case doesn't
	matter, so netnames with different letter-case still match.
	* There have been reports about Makefile failure with Perl 5.002,
	due changed format in the output of the MakeMaker. This is fixed now,
	by using our own stubs in the Makefile.PL.
	* Couple of strange inetnum objects were found in the DB, namely -
	192.0.0.0 - 192.255.255.255, which broke proper recognition of
	the allocation. Now they are recognized by asused. Still, it's possible 
	that there are other similar objects in DB.

Note: Versions 3.61 and 3.62 were not publicly released.
