Comment:

 Hi Michal

 Replying to [comment:8 vorner]:

 Does this look better:
 {{{
 XYZ.    [func]          muks
         The zone data loader now accepts RRs in any order during load.
         Before it used to reject adding non-consecutive RRsets. It
         expected records for a single owner name and its type to be
         grouped together. These restrictions are now removed.
         (Trac #2441, git ...)
 }}}

 > This comment contains „existing“ one too many times:
 > {{{#!c++
 > // Create a new RdataSet, merging any existing existing NSEC3 data
 > }}}

 Fixed. :)

 I've brought back the old functionality of the ZoneDataLoader for this.
