v4.15.5 Latest
Latest

Hello DNSControl fans!

Sadly a performance regression that affects CLOUDFLAREAPI and HETZNER users was observed shortly after v4.15.4 shipped. Please ignore v4.15.4 and jump directly to v4.15.5.

Apologies! We're updating our release process to avoid this particular situation in the future.

v4.15.4

Hello DNSControl fans!

Tons of great contributions this time!

Global features:

  • The most visible change is that preview will create missing zones at a provider. Disable this with --populate-on-preview=false.
  • PTR fans will appreciate that magic PTRs now support RFC4183-style names.
  • Plus many documentation improvements, code fixes, and smaller bugs fixed.

Provider improvements:

  • CLOUDFLARE: TTL=300 hasn't been special for a long time. Now our code reflects that.
  • CNR adds ALIAS support, better error checking, and is significantly faster in general.
  • GCLOUD is now more resilient as it will attempt a one retry on 502 errors.
  • HEXONET: Add error handling for MX and SRV record priority
  • INWX now supports SRV "." targets
  • POWERDNS fixes preview/push of non-existent zones.
  • ROUTE53 now supports HTTPS, SSHFP, SVCB, and TLSA record types.
  • TRANSIP is a lot faster and supports rate-limiting.

On the code side: Many warnings from golangci-lint have been fixed; a ZoneCache primitive has been added which will make it easier for providers to safely cache the list of zones at a provider (currently in use by CLOUDFLAREAPI and HETZNER; we'll convert other providers in the future).

This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all our contributors! This release has PRs from 10 people. Thanks! We couldn't do it without you!

v4.15.3

Hello and happy new year, DNS fans!

This is mostly a bugfix release but 2 of the bugfixes are very important. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade immediately if you use NAMEDOTCOM at all, and if you use IGNORE*() features on AUTODNS, BIND, MYTHICBEASTS, REALTIMEREGISTER, or SAKURACLOUD

Major bugs:

  • (#3259) NAMEDOTCOM: TXT records were not generated properly. Quotes were added around the text. This went unnoticed for months (years?). Thanks to @tkurki for reporting this! (FYI: This provider needs a volunteer maintainer. See below!)

  • (#3227) IGNORE() deletes ignored records when used with providers that use the diff2.ByZone() function: This affects AUTODNS, BIND, MYTHICBEASTS, REALTIMEREGISTER, SAKURACLOUD only. This was extremely difficult to find but thanks to some smart detective work by @rmc47 we not only found the problem, but developed an entirely new technique for testing IGNORE(). I now have greater confidence in IGNORE() and believe it is bug-free for all cases except when a third-party is updating the zone at the same time (something that can't be fixed because DNS doesn't have transactional locking).

Other news:

  • AXFRDDNS got a long-needed update from (@gucci-on-fleek) who fixed a number of small problems, enabled LOC records, and added it to The List of AutoTested Providers!

  • MYTHICBEASTS is now on The List of AutoTested Providers thanks to @tomfitzhenry!

Speaking of The List of AutoTested Providers: These are the providers that get fully tested with each release:

  • AXFRDNS, AZURE_DNS, BIND, CLOUDFLAREAPI, CNR
  • DIGITALOCEAN, GANDI_V5, GCLOUD, HEDNS, HEXONET
  • MYTHICBEASTS, NAMEDOTCOM, NS1, ROUTE53
  • SAKURACLOUD, TRANSIP

All other providers are not tested as often. Want your provider added to this list? Here's how: https://docs.dnscontrol.org/developer-info/byo-secrets

v4.15.2

Happy holidays, DNSControl Fans!

Another quick bugfix release. This is particularly important if you use the BIND provider.

Bug: BIND

In 4.15.1 a bug was introduced that made the BIND provider use the
same filename for all zonefiles. That is fixed in this release. As a
bonus, BIND joins the list of providers that can run concurrently.

Do not use 4.15.1 if you use BIND.

Possible bug: IGNORE() plus MYTHICBEASTS

We're tracking a bug that was reported involving IGNORE() with MYTHICBEASTS (#3227). If you use any of the IGNORE*() functions, please push with caution.

It might affect other providers that use the diff2.ByZone() function call (AUTODNS, BIND, REALTIMEREGISTER, SAKURACLOUD) with a smaller change it will affect providers that use the diff2.ByRecordSet() function (AZURE, GCLOUD, GCORE, HUAWEICLOUD, NS1, POWERDNS, ROUTE53, TRANSIP).

If you use any of those providers, we can use your help! Please run the integration tests (https://docs.dnscontrol.org/developer-info/integration-tests) and report if they were successful or not. This release includes a new test that should trigger this bug: Integration test number 77 IGNORE w/change b3227

That's it!

Sorry for the releases right before most people are going on break! If you are concerned about other issues, the last v4.14.x release was very stable and is backwards compatible.

Best,

Tom

v4.15.1

Hi DNSControl fans!

The speed and concurrency benefits announced in v4.15.0 were accidentally only applied to preview and not push. The 2-byte change in #3249 fixes that. Now push is as fast as preview (plus the time it takes to do any updates).

One user reported runtimes went from 57 seconds to 7 seconds. That's a 87% reduction in run-time!

Best,
Tom

v4.15.0

Greetings and happy holidays, DNSControl fans!

Santa (or the super-natural gift-delivery being of your choice) has graced us with THREE big, new, exciting, features, plus a ton of other fixes and improvements.

BIG NEWS # 1: The last line of a D() statement can now have a comma!

In the past, leaving off the last comma would give an error:

D("example.com", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_EXAMPLE),
    A("test", "1.2.3.4")              <<< look, Ma!  No comma!
END);

### version 4.14.x:
$ dnscontrol check
executing dnsconfig.js: (anonymous): Line 183:25 Unexpected token )

### version 4.15.0:
$ dnscontrol check
No errors.

Best of all we got this feature simply by upgrading to the newest version of the JavaScript interpreter we use (https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto). In the latest release @linuxerwang (who has probably never heard of our project) submitted this enhancement in robertkrimen/otto#520 and we all benefit.

This affects all kinds of JavaScript lists, not just D() statements.

Thanks, Santa! .... I mean @linuxerwang!

BIG NEWS # 2: The default for --cmode is now concurrent.

This means your preview will run many times faster because all the domains are collected concurrently. Some people have reported runtimes are reduced 50-75%.

This change was announced months ago in #3142 plus dnscontrol printed warnings since v4.14.0.

The following providers added concurrency support in this release: CLOUDNS, CNR, DIGITALOCEAN, GANDI_V5, HETZNER, NAMECHEAP, NETLIFY

Providers that already support concurrency include: AZURE_DNS, CLOUDFLAREAPI, CSCGLOBAL, DESEC, GCLOUD, NS1, ROUTE53, TRANSIP.

This code is a bit new. If you find a bug, use --cmode=none to disable concurrency. (and file a bug report!)

BIG NEWS # 3: Notifications can now be sent using Shouterr

Notifications are now handled by the Shouterr package. Shouterr supports every chat system I've heard of, plus plenty of other systems. In the future Shouterr will become the standard way to send notifications and other methods will be deprecated. How to set up notifications is documented at https://docs.dnscontrol.org/advanced-features/notifications.

Other new features worth mentioning:

  • NEW PROVIDER: CentralNic Reseller (CNR) - formerly RRPProxy (#3203) (@AsifNawaz-cnic)
  • PORKBUN: handles retries/ratelimits better, and now also supports CAA.
  • The get-zones subcommand is more reliable, which probably also makes preview more reliable.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions! This is a community-driven project and we couldn't do it without all your PRs, reviews, and other support!

Stay safe! See you in the new year!

v4.14.3

Hi DNSControl fans!

Another bugfix release that only affects very few users.

  • NS1 is in the process of removing support for URLFWD, which means our integration tests for that feature have started to fail. I've removed integration tests for URLFWD, but but the feature continues to exist in our code in case anyone still has access to the feature (#3195) (@tlimoncelli)
  • IMPORT_TRANSFORM (a feature only for use by Stack Overflow) now lets you skip individual records (#3193) (@tlimoncelli)

Greetings DNSControl Fans!

This is a bugfix release, though one new feature is included (GCORE gains support for GeoDNS/Failover thanks to @xddxdd).

  • NS1 no longer fails if it sees a REDIRECT (#3167) (@kabenin)
  • ORACLE no longer gives invalid warnings in one situation (#3178) (@fabienmazieres)
  • ORACLE supports more than 50 zones (was only seeing the first 50) (#3179) (@fabienmazieres)
  • ORACLE now properly handles the API's inconsistent handling of "trailing dot" on NS records (#3170) (@fabienmazieres)
  • M365_BUILDER no longer fails on second level domains (#3165) (@CJFelto)
  • Security fix: github.com/go-acme/lego to v4 to resolve security issue (#3169) (@jauderho)
  • Integration test TestDualProviders cleans up after itself better (#3171) (@fabienmazieres)

v4.14.0

Hello DNS Fans!

The big news is that the concurrent data gathering feature is stable and will become the default in the next release. Instead of new commands (ppreview/ppush) the functionality is enabled using the --cmode flag.

  • v4.14: --cmode defaults to legacy (old code, data gathering is done serially)
  • v4.15: --cmode defaults to concurrent (new code, data gathering is done concurrently)
  • v4.16: The legacy mode is removed

Any use of the old, legacy, code prints a warning:

WARN: In v4.15 --cmode will default to "concurrent". Please test and report any bugs ASAP. 
In v4.16 or later, "legacy" will go away. See https://docs.dnscontrol.org/commands/preview-push

Any use of the ppreview/ppush commands prints a warning similar to:

WARN: ppreview is going away in v4.16 or later. Use "preview --cmode=concurrent" instead.

Other major changes/improvements:

  • --report now works in preview, not just push.
  • CLOUDNS now supports LOC and AutoDNSSEC.
  • The "# of corrections" count was wrong for some providers. It should now be accurate for all providers.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions! This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all your help!

Deprecation warnings

Warning

  • REV() will switch from RFC2317 to RFC4183 in v5.0. This is a breaking change. Warnings are output if your configuration is affected. No date has been announced for v5.0. See https://docs.dnscontrol.org/language-reference/top-level-functions/revcompat
  • MSDNS maintainer needed! Without a new volunteer, this DNS provider will lose support after April 2025. See #2878
  • NAMEDOTCOM and SOFTLAYER need maintainers! These providers have no maintainer. Maintainers respond to PRs and fix bugs in a timely manner, and try to stay on top of protocol changes.
  • get-certs/ACME support is frozen and will be removed without notice between now and July 2025. It has been unsupported since December 2022. If you don't use this feature, do not start. If you do use this feature, migrate ASAP. See discussion in issues/1400
