Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that version 1.8.0 of ldns is now available.
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.
