We will be releasing an update to version 4.5.1, as well as a new
version of 4.6.

Configuring a delegation-only zone will require manual effort on each
server - there will be no user interface for this in QuickDNS
Manager. The update will simply allow the use of such zones without
breaking QuickDNS.

Views are not supported by QuickDNS. They're very complicated,
potentially requiring a new user interface paradigm, and we haven't
had much in the way of requests for this feature. Therefore, it's
been given a low priority.
