## Release 4.0.0

The WHOIS parsers are no longer part of this repository, and they have been extracted into a separate repository at https://github.com/weppos/whois-parser.

The `whois` library is now simply a WHOIS client. If you want to use the parsing features, install the `whois-ruby` gem (that already defines `whois` as a dependency).

  Parsers now can mark a property as supported or not supported using

  and methods that still need to be implemented because the parser is incomplete.

- NEW: Whois#Answer.property? returns whether property has a value.

  If you try to access a property from the answer object, Whois::Answer always returns the value if the property is defined,
  nil otherwise no matter if the property is not supported or undefined.

    a = Whois.query "google.ac"
    a.nameservers
    # => nil even if not supported

  If you want a more granular level of response, you can access the underling parser implementation.

    a = Whois.query "google.ac"
    a.parser.nameservers
    # => PropertyNotSupported

- CHANGED: Increased DEFAULT_TIMEOUT to 10 seconds

- REMOVED: Removed Deprecated #supported? method

- SERVER: .gl TLD has a whois server (closes REDMINE-323)

- SERVER: .md TLD has a whois server (closes REDMINE-325)

- SERVER: Changed .edu TLD server to whois.educause.edu (see http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/edu.html)

- FIXED: TLD definitions for whois.afilias-grs.info missing proper adapter (closes REDMINE-342)

- FIXED: ./bin/ruby-whois uses the Gem instead of current version (closes REDMINE-344)

- FIXED: Whois::Client doesn't cast query to_s (closes REDMINE-339)

- FIXED: Whois::Parser doesn't detect preloaded parsers. Improved performances skipping unnecessary 'require'. (closes REDMINE-340)

- NEW: Simple .name TLD parser.

- NEW: Simple .ie TLD parser.

- NEW: Simple .edu TLD parser.

- NEW: Simple .info TLD parser.

- NEW: Ability to pass timeout option to 'ruby-whois' (closes REDMINE-334)

- NEW: Whois::Answer#properties returns an Hash of :key => value

- CHANGED: Removed Whois::BUILD and Whois::STATUS constants. Added Whois::Version::ALPHA constant to be used when I need to package prereleases (see RubyGem --prerelease flag).

- CHANGED: Extracted Whois::Answer::Parser::Ast module from existing parsers.

- CHANGED: Normalized WhoisDenicDe parser.

## Release 0.8.1

- FIXED: Updated the whois.denic.de parser to the new format (REDMINE-314). [thanks David Krentzlin]

- FIXED: In case of thin server the client should select the closest whois server match (closes REDMINE-264)

- NEW: ability to check whether a property is supported via answer.supported? or parser.supported?


## Release 0.8.0

- FIXED: Server definition with :format doesn't use the Formatted adapter (closes REDMINE-305)

- NEW: whois.denic.de (.de TLD) parser [Aaron Mueller]

- NEW: introduced support for multipart answers and Parser proxy class. This is useful in case of thin servers such as .com or .net because the parser needs to know all different responses in order to load all single scanners.

- NEW: whois.crsnic.net (.com, .net, ... TLDs) parser.

- CHANGED: extracted all scanners into separated classes in order to make easier extract shared features.

- CHANGED: renamed Whois::Response to Whois::Answer. This change is required to avoid confusion between query-answer and server request-response. A Whois::Answer is composed by one or more parts, corresponding to single server answers.

- REMOVED: Whois::Answer#i_am_feeling_lucky (formerly Whois::Answer#i_am_feeling_lucky) become obsolete since the introduction of Answer parsers.


## Release 0.6.0

- NEW: new more convenient method to query a whois server in addition to the existing Whois::whois method.

    Whois::query("domain.com")
    # same as Whois::whois but added to normalize application interfaces.

    Whois::available?("domain.com")
    # returns true if the domain is available.

    Whois::registered?("domain.com")
    # returns true if the domain is registered.

- NEW: Experimental support for whois response parsing. This release is shipped with two parsers for the .it and .net TLD.

    r = Whois::query("google.it")
    r.available?
    # => false
    r.created_on
    # => Time.parse("1999-12-10 00:00:00")
    r.Nameservers
    # => ["ns1.google.com", "ns2.google.com", ...]

- CHANGED: A whois query now returns a custom Whois::Response object instead of a simple string.
  The previous interface is still supported, so you can continue to compare the response with Strings
  but this behavior will be deprecated in a future release.

    r = Whois::query("domain.com")
    # supported but deprecated in a future version
    r ## "NOT FOUND"
    # explicitly cast the object to string instead
    r.to_s ## "NOT FOUND"
    # or use one of the other Whois::Response methods.

Note. This is an experimental version (EAP) and it should not be considered production-ready.
API might change at any time without previous notice.

    client = Whois::Client.new do |c|

    end

- FIXED: DeprecatedWhoisTest are flagged with need_connectivity method because they require connectivity.
