 ### Breaking changes
 
-  * ddclient now requires curl.
+  * ddclient now requires curl. The Perl modules IO::Socket::IP and IO::Socket::SSL are no longer used.
   * ddclient no longer ships any example files for init systems that use `/etc/init.d`.
     This was done because those files where effectively unmaintained, untested by the developers and only updated by downstream distros.
     If you where relying on those files, please copy them into your packaging.

-The 'dnsexit2' protocol is the new API protocol used by the dynamic hostname services
-of the 'DNSExit' dns services. This is currently used by the free
-dynamic DNS service offered by www.dnsexit.com.
+The 'dnsexit2' protocol is the updated protocol for the (free) dynamic hostname services
+of 'DNSExit' (www.dnsexit.com). Their API is accepting JSON payload.
 
 Configuration variables applicable to the 'dnsexit2' protocol are:
   protocol=dnsexit2         ##
   password=YourAPIKey       ## API Key of your account.
   server=api.dnsexit.com    ## defaults to api.dnsexit.com.
   path=/dns/                ## defaults to /dns/.
-  record-type=A             ## defaults to A record.
   ttl=5                     ## defaults to 5 minutes.
+  zone=''                   ## defaults to empty, which assumes the zone is equal to the fully.qualified.host (is root of your DNSExit domain).
   fully.qualified.host      ## the host registered with the service.
 
 Example ${program}.conf file entries:
   ## single host update
   protocol=dnsexit2
   password=YourAPIKey
-  fully.qualified.host
+  yourown.publicvm.com
+
+  ## two hosts (which must be) on the same zone
+  protocol=dnsexit2
+  password=YourAPIKey
+  zone=yourown.publicvm.com
