[ldns-users] ldns 1.6.4 released

Hi Henry,

LDNS used to read a backslash as a backslash, not an escape character.
For example, the rdata in
	example.org IN TXT " \a"
was converted into " \a", while it actually should be " a" (without the
escape character).

This became an issue when signing the record. The input data for
creating the signature was wrong and thus a false signature was produced.

Hope this clarifies the issue.

Best regards,

Matthijs Mekking
