[knot-dns-users] Knot DNS 1.4.7 patch & 1.5.0-rc2 releases

Hello list! Today we release two new versions of Knot DNS: 1.4.7 patch release and a second release candidate of 1.5.0: 1.4.7 patch release fixes few minor issues and one major one, here they are in the order of their importance: - Assertion failure when serializing NAPTR records - this error can pop up with DDNS and transfers, regular queries are safe. - Knot could send mismatched IXFRs with automatic DNSSEC enabled. - Some DDNS corner cases were not handled properly. - Slave zone EXPIRE timer could be improperly set. - Zone semantic checks gave some false positive warnings. The NAPTR assertion failure is quite serious, so we recommend all users to update. We sincerely apologize for this. Hopefully all the code reduction and refactoring we did will pay off and versions 1.5 and beyond will see fewer patch releases.

Two minor improvements: - Faster zone reload. - Text zone files are no longer written to disk right after bootstrap, but are flushed in accordance with the "zonefile-sync" config option. And the following bugfixes: - Knot did not close connection with remote during transfer when the remote replied with SERVFAIL. - Knot was giving wrong log message during IXFR -> AXFR fallbacks. - Some zone events were not handled properly during reloads. We encourage everyone to give the second release candidate a try and send us as much feedback as possible :) Changelog: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/knot/blob/v1.5.0-rc2/NEWS Sources: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-dns/knot-1.5.0-rc2.tar.gz https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-dns/knot-1.5.0-rc2.tar.xz GPG signatures: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-dns/knot-1.5.0-rc2.tar.gz.asc https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-dns/knot-1.5.0-rc2.tar.xz.asc We'd like to thank Anand Buddhdev, Alex Massover and Bastien Durel for feedback and bug reports.
