Features

Extended Records

• TXT: Wrap record rdata in double-quotes to avoid escaping most characters.

• SPF: A type 99 SPF record (deprecated, but still supported by some mail transfer agents)
• SRV: Service record for SIP, XMPP, and other services

New Pseudo-Records

• ALIAS: A CNAME-like pseudo record that copies the records of the target and changes the hostname to the FQDN in the ALIAS record.
