StackExchange/dnscontrol v4.28.2 on GitHub

Greetings DNS fans!

This is a bugfix release. BIND users discovered that "push" was regenerating zonefiles even when there was no change. The reason was that the %D verb was always "" (null string). Shout out to @ondohotola for quickly reporting this bug and confirming the workaround. A full fix is included in v4.28.2.

This release also includes some documentation and tool improvements.

Thanks to all contributors involved in this release! This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all of your contributions!

Sincerely,
--Tom Limoncelli
