Changelog
whois (5.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Recursion disabled when the query string contains spaces, because
probably the query format will not be compatible with the referral
server (e.g. whois to rwhois or ARIN to RIPE).
* Add the "+" flag by default to queries to whois.arin.net if the
argument looks like an IP address. Also add the "a" and "n" flags.
No thanks to ARIN for breaking every whois client.
* Added the .cv, .lk, .mq, .sy, .so, .biz.ua, .co.ua, .pp.ua, .qa,

* Split HAVE_LINUX_CRYPT_GENSALT from HAVE_XCRYPT to support SuSE,
which has it builtin in the libc. Added untested support for Solaris'
crypt_gensalt(3). This and the following changes have been contributed
by Ludwig Nussel of SuSE.
* mkpasswd: stop rejecting non-ASCII characters.
* mkpasswd: added support for the 2y algorithm, which fixes CVE-2011-2483.
* mkpasswd: raised the number of rounds for 2a/2y from 4 to 5, which is
the current default.
* mkpasswd: removed support for 2 and {SHA}, which actually are not
supported by FreeBSD and libxcrypt.
