[knot-dns-users] Knot DNS 1.6.4 patch release

Hello everyone! On behalf of CZ.NIC Labs, I would like to announce Knot DNS 1.6.4. The patch release contains a bunch of non-critical bug fixes and a few improvements. The update is recommended but not necessary. Lots of changes are related to zone transfers. We resolved a problem where an incoming NOTIFY message was lost during ongoing transfer of the same zone. The AA flag in AXFR/IXFR queries is no longer set as recommended by the RFC. And in multi-master environment, if a master server is not available then the other master servers are tried immediately without waiting a SOA retry time. The kdig utility was also updated. A new '+generic' option causes printing of all resource records as if they were unknown records (according to RFC 3597). The '+noall' option now hides the TSIG section. And the Dnstap SocketProtocol is logged correctly if there is a failover from UDP to TCP. The zone parsing and dumping was improved as well. The zone parser can now read TXT/SPF strings longer than 255 characters which are automatically chopped into multiple strings. And the zone dumps will no longer print class name with the SOA record, which unifies the behavior across all resource record types, making the text processing of a zone file easier. Last but not least, we have resolved two build issues: Knot DNS can be now compiled against LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL without patching. And fast zone parser is forcibly disabled when compiling with Clang (this is a workaround for a bug in Clang optimizer which emits invalid code for the scanner). Thank you for attention. You can grab the sources as usual.
