> Many thanks are again due to Darren Gamble who together with his team has
> discovered many misconfigured domains that do work with some other name
> servers. DNS has long been tolerant of misconfigurations, PowerDNS intends
> to uphold that tradition. Almost all of the domains found by Darren now
> work as well in PowerDNS as in other name server implementations.

> Bug-fixes:
>
>  * The MThread default stack size was too small, which led to problems,
>    mostly on 64-bit platforms. This stack size is now configurable using
>    the stack-size setting should our estimate be off. Discovered by
>    Darren Gamble, Sten Spans and a number of others. Fixed in commit 868.
>
>  * Plug a small memory leak discovered by Kai and Darren Gamble, fixed in
>    commit 870.
>
>  * Switch from the excellent nedmalloc to dlmalloc, based on advice by
>    the nedmalloc author. Nedmalloc is optimised for multithreaded
>    operation, whereas the PowerDNS recursor is single threaded. The
>    version of nedmalloc shipped contained a number of possible bugs,
>    which are probably resolved by moving to dlmalloc. Some reported
>    crashes on hitting 2G of allocated memory on 64 bit systems might be
>    solved by this switch, which should also increase performance. See
>    commit 873 for details.
>
> Improvements:
>
>  * The cache is now explicitly aware of the difference between
>    authoritative and unauthoritative data, allowing it to deal with some
>    domains that have different data in the parent zone than in the
>    authoritative zone. Patch in commit 867.
>
>  * No longer try to parse DNS updates as if they were queries. Discovered
>    and fixed by Jan Gyselinck, fix in commit 871.
>
>  * Rebalance logging priorities for less log cluttering and add IP
>    address to a remote server error message. Noticed and fixed by Jan
>    Gyselinck (commit 877).
>
>  * Add logging-facility setting, allowing syslog to send PowerDNS logging
>    to a separate file. Added in commit 871.
