This release improves DNS transport security and operational reliability, with safer DoH/DoH3 handling, enhanced forwarding configuration, and improved dnstap support. It also adds robustness improvements across file serving, secondary zones, transfers, rewrites, hosts handling, and error processing, while fixing several edge cases in DNS response handling.
