  • the Lua binding for SuffixMatchNode::remove was added (8956) ;
  • a regression introduced in 1.4.0 for DNSCrypt users was fixed (8974, 8976), with our thanks to Frank Denis for reporting the issue and suggesting ways to fix it ;
  • responses received from a backend with the QR bit not set are now dropped (8996) ;
