[ldns-users] First candidate for ldns-1.8.0 release

[Willem Toorop]

Dear all,

We have a new candidate for the upcoming 1.8.0 release of ldns.
Besides many bugfixes, this release also has a few new features, most
notably:

* ZONEMD support in ldns-signzone and ldns-verify-zone

* Draft implementation of the SVCB and HTTPS RR types.
  Use --enable-rrtype-svcb-https with configure to compile with these
  supported.

Please review this release candidate carefully and let us know if
anything is wrong.  If all is well, the actual release will follow
Friday the 19th of November 2021.
