This is a rather big release, we now share plugins among zones in the same server block, 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.
