It's tough to remember what parts I can talk about, and what parts I can't. Here goes...
o Support for multiple IP addresses on one server.
o Remote admin.
o Improvements (big ones) to the Domain Assistant.
o Support for MacOS X.
o Support for the newer RR types, including LOC, plus customizable RR types.
o Secure DNS.
o Save/load DNS cache to/from file.
o View/edit cache.
o Interface improvements.
These are just the hints and highlights. I can't give any more right now - I'll have to see if there's a press release I can post.
