v4.45.0

Greetings DNS fans!

Release v4.45.0 highlights

ANNOUNCEMENT: SPF_BUILDER() may generate a different TXT record after upgrading to this release. A bug was found that produced incorrect results, including elements of the SPF record being unintentionally deleted. The new TXT records are more correct.

• BUG: SPF flattening no longer drops the last term of an include with no "all" (#4630)
• AUTODNS now supports two factor authentication via TOTP (#4626). Thanks, @leon-th!
• BUG: preview no longer errors when a zone will be created by push (#4612). Thanks, @lopster568

Thanks to all contributors involved in this release! This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all of your contributions!

Sincerely,
--Tom Limoncelli
