Dear all,

We have a first candidate for a new 1.7.1 release of getdns. This is a bugfix with most prominently a fix for a crash that occured when looking up and DNSSEC validating certain RR types.

This release has a Stubby version 0.4.1-rc.1 included with updated upstreams servers in the example stubby.yml config file.

NOTE! The dnsovertls*.sinodun.com servers will retire later this month so we strongly encourage you to update the config file with the new default upstream servers and choose (uncomment) some additional servers from the list available. The getdnsapi.net server is the only default resolver left and is a single point of failure if no other resolvers are chosen.

Please review these release candidates carefully, if all is well, the actual release will follow Friday the 19th of August 2022.

    Thanks Shikha Sharma
  * Fix using asterisk in ipstr for any address. Thanks uzlonewolf.
  * Issue stubby#295: rdata not correctly written for validation for certain

    via GETDNS_BUILD_CFLAGS define and via getdns_context_get_api_information()

* 2022-08-: Version 0.4.1
  * Several updates to the servers in the config file:
     * sinodun.dnsovertls*.com servers are removed and will be decommissioned in
       the near future. This leaves only the the getdns.api server as the default.
       A recommendation is made that users choose additional servers from the
       list available.
     * Additional Quad9 servers added (thanks pataquets).
     * LDN servers removed as the service is now stopped. 
     * Tidy up of remaining server data.

       (not valid YAML)
     * Fix and improve descriptions of default values
  * Fixes for parsing of quoted key values for `tls-ca-file`, `tls-curves-list`
    and `resolvconf`
  * Add Dockerfile into `contrib` - thanks to pataquets.
  * Strengthen version checking for LibIDN2 during the cmake step so LibIDN2
    version 2.3.3 can be properly found (thanks jpbion).
  * Updated systemd/stubby.service file. Thanks Bruno Pagani
  * log level configurable in config file with log_level setting
    Command line setting (with -v or -l) overrules the config file setting
