The previous release promised reduced memory footprint from refactored 
RDATA storage (and it did for the vast majority of cases), but just 
after the release, we received a report that NSD was consuming more 
memory for specific kind of zones (with RRsets consisting of many RRs). 
This release has that addressed so that NSD now consumes less memory in 
all cases and circumstances. A blog post highlighting these memory 
reductions is available at:
