This is a rather big release, we now [share plugins among zones in the same server
block](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/pull/4593), which should save memory. Various bug fixes in
a bunch of plugins and not one, but two new plugins. A *geoip* plugin that can report **where** the
query came from and a *header* plugin that allows you to fiddle with (some of) the header bits in a
DNS message.

With this release, the `coredns_cache_misses_total` metric is deprecated. It will be removed in a later release.
Users should migrate their promQL to use `coredns_cache_requests_total - coredns_cache_hits_total` .
