[knot-dns-users] Knot DNS 1.6.2 patch release

Hello everyone, on behalf of CZ.NIC Labs, I would like to announce Knot DNS 1.6.2. The patch release contains one new feature and a few small bug fixes. With the new version, a number of concurrent TCP clients connected to the server can be limited. The limit is set using the 'max-tcp-clients' configuration option in the 'system' section. Purpose of this setting is to avoid resource exhaustion when the server is under a load. And the default value for the option is 100. When the limit is hit, new connections are not being accepted for a few seconds. Active connections are not affected. Please note, that we have also slightly lowered defaults for TCP idling timeouts. As for the bug fixes: A possible file descriptor leak when terminating inactive TCP clients was fixed. Scheduled events for zones switched from slave mode to master mode are handled correctly. And compilation of Dnstap features on FreeBSD works now.
