The CoreDNS team has released
[CoreDNS-1.6.4](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.6.4).

Various code cleanups and documentation improvements. We've added one new plugin: *acl*, that allows
blocking requests.

# Plugins

* [*acl*](/plugins/acl) block request from IPs or IP ranges.
* [*kubernetes*](/plugins/kubernetes) received some bug fixes, see below for specific PRs.
* [*hosts*](/plugins/hosts) exports metrics on the number of entries and last reload time.
