Hi, thanks for your contribution.

However, there are no tagged releases for this project. Our guidelines require that Any software project you are adding was first released more than 4 months ago. We encourage you to create a release now and/or a simple changelog that will help users keep track of changes in the software (especially breaking changes or changes requiring configuration tweaks), and will allow administrators to install a known working, unchanging version (as opposed to always installing the latest development version).

Thanks for understanding, and good luck with this project.

Just added first release, with the aim to keep making them while I update the software. I hope my DNS will be considered once it reaches the 4 months of life-

Thanks for your time

Best regards,

Thank you for your reply. Please let me know when my repo will be effectively part of your software collection. It will be a great milestone to me, being BMDNS one of the best FOSS I have ever written.

Best regards
