Greetings DNS fans!
Highlights:
- 9e73e73: BunnyDNS users will be happy to learn that DNSControl has been updated to allow SRV "." targets, which BunnyDNS only recently started supporting (#4003)
- ae9759d: Cloudflare users will be happy to know that the warnings the CF Dashboard displays about TXT records are a thing of the past... at least for TXT records created and or updated starting with this version (#3834) (@tlimoncelli)
- Many documentation improvements, including links to RFCs (#3970 thanks to @grahammiln!) and info on how to use VSCode and the Go Debugger (#3998)
- Internal improvements continue on the RecordConfigv2 project. Legacy providers (which is all of them, currently) are better supported.
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

Deprecation warnings
Warning
- REV() will switch from RFC2317 to RFC4183 in v5.0. This is a breaking change. Warnings are output if your configuration is affected. No date has been announced for v5.0. See https://docs.dnscontrol.org/language-reference/top-level-functions/revcompat
- NAMEDOTCOM, OPENSRS and SOFTLAYER need maintainers! These providers have no maintainer. Maintainers respond to PRs and fix bugs in a timely manner, and try to stay on top of protocol changes.
