    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.

Knot DNS 1.1.2 (2012-11-21)
===========================

Bugfixes:
---------
 - Fixed debug message.

 - Fixed scheduling of transfers.

Knot DNS 1.1.1 (2012-10-31)
===========================

    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.
 - Fixed TSIG algorithm name comparison - the names should be in
    canonical form.

   database.

    and APL records.

 - 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.

    interfaces.
 - Fixed access rights of created files.

    wildcard in the same zone.
Improvements:
-------------
 - Improved user manual.
 - Better checks of corrupted zone database.
 - 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.

    wildcard-covered names.

Improvements:
-------------
 - Significantly sped up IXFR-in and reduced its memory requirements.
---------
 - 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).
Knot DNS 1.0.3 (2012-04-17)
