**UNRELEASED**

The CoreDNS team has released
[CoreDNS-1.7.1](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.7.1).

This is a small, incremental release that adds some polish.

Note that the next (or at least soon), we will

* merge caddy v1 into the coredns org. This requires a import renaming for all plugins: ` sed -i
 's|github.com/caddyserver/caddy|github.com/coredns/caddy|'`, i.e. "github.com/caddyserver/caddy"
  needs to be renamed to "github.com/coredns/caddy".
* merge the new transfer plugin and move plugins over to that; if you don't use the *file* plugin,
  nor zonetransfer this doesn't apply to you.
