Short summary
- -------------

Major feature is a more strict scrubber that filters incoming DNS
replies for possibly malicious content.  It is more strict in 1.0.2 to
prevent certain types of malicious content.  This can stop certain
variants of the recently disclosed attacks on Blackhat.

Also, a couple bugfixes:
* nicer error when no entropy
* fix segfault on exit when msgs still wait for udp ports
* fix DS validation for clients

There is a new HowTo on the unbound website:
http://unbound.net/documentation/howto_anchor.html
It details how to set up DNSSEC validation, with a script to keep the
trust anchors up to date automatically. You can use DNSSEC to stop
worrying about cache poisoning (for signed domains, that is ...).

Best regards,
~   Wouter
