I have fixed the following issues in today's release of MaraDNS:
* Nicholas Bamber pointed out two issues with MaraDNS'
documentation. I have updated the script that updates MaraDNS to
resolve these issues.
* AngelD discovered that the zoneserver would not return all
records if a zone file has a lot of FQDN4 records. The bug took me
about an hour to hunt down and find:
The zoneserver uses a temporary buffer of records when sending
them out. This buffer is 30 records in size, which usually isn't a
problem because the zoneserver only loads 20 records before sending
the records down the wire and flushing the buffer. However, since each
FQDN4 (and FQDN6) record adds two records to the buffer, we only get
the first 15 records before the buffer is full and some records get
dropped.
The fix is simple: I expanded the buffer so that it now fits 64 records.
It can be downloaded here:

The next day I plan to work on MaraDNS/Deadwood without sponsorship is
on one day next month, before the 15th. In other words, I will
volunteer one day to babysitting MaraDNS between November 1 and
November 15.
