Contributions summary:Ijonas primarily focused on fixing bugs related to the `dns.zones()` and `zone.records()` methods within the Fog library, specifically within the context of the DNSimple provider. These changes involved correcting the return of empty objects and ensuring proper data population. The user also updated the `zone.get()` method to return fully-populated record objects and made revisions to the `record.save()` method to handle both new and existing records correctly.
