[dns-stats-users] DNS-STATS Compactor 1.2.1-rc1 release

[Sara Dickinson]

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the release of DNS-STATS Compactor version 1.2.1-rc1.

Updates in 1.2.1-rc1 since 1.2.1-beta2
* Modify the format output by the debug option `--debug-qr` to be more human
  readable (`--debug-dns` output is left unchanged).
* Fix 2 minor bugs where an incorrect start time could be written to the CDNS
  file, resulting in a negative file duration.
* Documentation: correct the dependency list.
* Fix build issue when using `configure --disable-pseudo-anonymisation`. Thanks
  Sean Burford for reporting this.
* Add example docker image as a submodule in `contrib/dns-stats-docker`. Thanks
  to Sean Burford for providing this.

Updates in 1.2.1-beta2 since 1.2.1-beta1:
* Bump the private version because schema extended with new stats.
* Add new stats to C-DNS: sniffer drops, matcher drops and sampling discards,
 and 3 libpcap stats. The libpcap stats should not be considered reliable and
 provided for information only.
* Fix file durations for files with more than one C-DNS block in them so high
 traffic rates can be correctly calculated from the statistics.
* Constrain size of matcher queue to reduce memory consumption when
 dropping/sampling.
* Add `-D` option (--relaxed-mode). With this option a warning (not an error) is
 issued for unrecognized command line and config file options.

Updates in 1.2.1-beta1 since 1.2.0:
* Change behaviour of internal sniffer channel when overloaded to better
 report and manage dropping/sampling of packets
 * This fixes a bug where the 'Total Packets processed' statistic did not
   include any packets dropped during overload
* Improve `log-interval` statistics and packet drop logging
* EXPERIMENTAL: New sampling mode option (disabled by default)
 * sampling can be enabled at a specified rate for a specified time
   when packet drops exceed a specified threshold (see config options)


*Please note the change of PPA - Bionic packages are available for this release*
