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.
