Bugfixes:
	* Fixed OpenBSD build
	* Responses to ANY should contain RRSIGs

v1.2.0-rc2 - Feb 15, 2013

	* Correct checking of label length bounds in some cases. 
	* More compliant rcodes in case of DDNS/TSIG failures.
	* Correct processing of malformed DDNS prereq section.

          missing).
	* Fixed setting ARCOUNT in some error responses with EDNS enabled.
	* Fixed crash when compiling zone zone with NSEC3PARAM but no NSEC3
	  and semantic checks enabled.

---------------------

Bugfixes:
	* Fixed debug message.

-------------------------

Bugfixes:
        * Crash after IXFR in certain cases when adding RRSIG in an IXFR.
        * Fixed behaviour when incoming IXFR removes a zone cut. Previously 
          occluded names now become properly visible. Previously lead to a 
          crash when the server was asked for the previously occluded name.
        * Fixed handling of zero-length strings in text zone dump. Caused the 
          compilation to fail.

        * Outgoing-only interfaces in configuration file.
        * Following DNAME if the synthetized name is in the same zone.

Bugfixes:
        * Crash when zone contained RRSIG signing a CNAME, but did not 
          contain the CNAME.
        * Malformed packets parsing.
        * Failed IXFR caused memory leaks.
        * Failed IXFR might have resulted in inconsistent zone structures.
        * Fixed answering to +dnssec queries when NSEC3 chain is corrupted.
        * Fixed answering when transitioning from NSEC3 to NSEC.
        * Fixed answering when zone contains multiple NSEC3 chains.

          wildcard in the same zone.

Other improvements:
        * IXFR-in optimized.
        * Many zones loading optimized.
        * More detailed log messages (mostly transfer-related).
        * Copying Question section to error responses.
        * Using zone name from config file as default origin in zone file.

        * Reopening log files upon start (used to truncate them).

Bugfixes:
        * Copying OPCODE and RD bit from query to NOTIMPL responses.
        * Corrected response to CNAME queries if the canonical name was also 
          an alias (was adding the whole CNAME chain to the response).
        * Fixed crash when NS or MX points to an alias.
        * Fixed problem with early closing of filedescriptors (lead to crash 
          when compiling and loading or bootstrapping and restarting the server
          with a lot of zones).

Other improvements:
        * Significantly sped up IXFR-in and reduced its memory requirements.
