[knot-dns-users] Knot DNS 1.4.3

Hi Everyone, I think the time is ripe for a small status update, preview of things to come and a new patch release. Sounds good? So, at the moment, our team at the CZ.NIC Labs is working towards the next major thing, but I'd like to reiterate that we didn't forget about the 1.4 and as of today we have a new release with several important backported bugfixes, here's the brief version: * Two bugs related to authenticated denial of existence proof with a certain combination of wildcard expansions triggering an assertion failure * Comparison of $ORIGIN and zone file in configuration is case insensitive * Corrupted journal data caused a cleanup failure during the zone loading In addition to the bugfixes, we have also slipped in a small enhancement - "include" statement in the configuration can include whole directory, this is useful if you have really a lot of includes in one place. Now a brief status update on what are we working on and what can you expect in the next few weeks/months. The next major release is going to happen later this spring and it's going to be focused on three things mostly - covering the code by tests, cleaning up and polishing existing features. There's going to be a feature or two, but that is not the main focus. The reason is the functionality we have piled up over the time has taken it's toll and now is the right time to sit back and make the features leaner and meaner (that includes usability as well), as that was always an integral idea behind Knot DNS. Plus less things means less things to break, right? I'd like to thank namely Petr Stastny and Olafur Gudmundsson (among others) for bugreports, ideas and thoughts.
