Bugfixes:
* Crash when zone contained RRSIG signing a CNAME, but did not
contain the CNAME.

* 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.
* Handling RRSets with different TTLs - TTL from the first RR is used.
* Synchronization of zone reload and zone transfers.
* Fixed build on NetBSD 5 and FreeBSD.
* Fixed binding to both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time on special
interfaces.
* Fixed access rights of created files.
* Semantic checks corrupted RDATA domain names which are covered by
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.
* Additional records are now added to response also from
wildcard-covered names.

* knotc checkzone (as a dry-run of zone compile).
* knotc refresh for forcing Knot to update all zones from master
servers.
* 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.
v1.0.3 - Apr 17, 2012
