Re: [knot-dns-users] Any "gothcas" going from 2.65 to 3.04 I should know about?

Okay, so the direct transition 2.6.5 -> 3.0.5 might be easier. Definitely, you don't have to start from scratch. If you don't use `journal-content: all`, I would drop the whole journal. Other databases (KASP) should be compatible enough.
