Release v3.10.1
This release simply fixes the version string (3.10.0 was reporting 3.9.0... ooops!) and updates some dependencies. We also update the release engineering docs to catch this typo from happening again.
Release v3.10.0
This release includes 1 new provider (Akamai Edge DNS), many bug fixes, and reliability improvements including MSDNS stability fixes. Thanks to all the volunteers that submitted code!
Breaking changes:
- A minor change to SOA records should not cause any breakage but if you use the SOA() function please be on the look-out for problems.
Major features:
- NEW PROVIDER: AkamaiEdgeDNS (#1174)
Provider-specific changes:
- AXFRDDNS: Fix advertisement of Get-Zones capability (#1161)

Other changes and improvements:
Release v3.9.0
This release includes many small improvements and a long-awaited change to SOA handling. SOA records can now be inserted using the SOA() function (mostly affects BIND, as most providers auto-generate SOA records). CAA now works for NS1; ALIAS records now work for NS1 and NAMECHEAP. AXFRDDNS now lets you select connection protocol. POWERDNS more correctly handles complex updates. MSDNS now supports PSSession and alternative credentials.
Thanks to all the people that submitted PRs! This is truly a community-driven release!
Breaking changes:
- SOA record handling: All changes are upward compatible but if you use BIND and manipulate SOA records some extra testing is recommended.
Major features:
- Direct SOA record management (#1115)
Provider-specific changes:
- NS1: Enable support for CAA (#1150)
- NS1: fix ALIAS handling (#1154)
- POWERDNS: fix order problems of delete corrections & some cleanup (#1153)
- NAMECHEAP: Enable ALIAS support (#1149)
- AXFRDDNS: adds update/transfer connection modes support (#1143)
- MSDNS Fix pssession; Allow alternative credentials (#1140)
Other changes and improvements:
Release v3.8.1
This release includes many bug fixes and one new feature. The new feature is that instead of reading creds.json, that information can be determined by running a program instead. Simply make the file executable (chmod +x credinfo.sh) or precede it with a "!", such as --creds '!/path/to/credinfo.sh'
Breaking changes:
- On non-Windows systems, the creds.json file should not have the executable bit set.
Major features:
- IGNORE_NAME: Should work at domain apex (bugfix) (#1118)
- creds.json info can come from an executable (#1119)
Provider-specific changes:
- BIND: Improve SOA documentation (#1132)
- GANDI_V5: Add "get-zones" support (#1117)
- GANDI_V5: supports DS records already (#1112)
- HEXONET: introducing semver to HEXONET provider (#1120)
- OVH: Add "get-zones" support (#1117)
- ROUTE53: Docs should specify FQDN with dot. (#1130)
Other changes and improvements:
Release v3.8.0
This release is packed with new features and improvements!
- Two new providers! (DNS Made Easy and hosting.de)
- A new experimental formatter for "dnsconfig.js" (
dnscontrol fmt) - An easier way to build DMARC records (DMARC_BUILDER())
- Sadly, the SOFTLAYER is now unmaintained. We need a volunteer. See #1080
Some internals improvements will help future provider-authors:
- TXT records has been completely rewritten to enable providers to indicate all their edge cases, such as not permitting long strings, or not permitting double-quotes in strings. This should make long and/or strange TXT records easier to handle in the future. The code is cleaner and more simple. Plus, it is general and supports all DNS records, not just TXT.
- The "target" field is no longer exported. This completes a change that started many months ago to require Getters and Setters for the RecordConfig.Target field. This makes providers less brittle and prepares us for using Go's future Generics. Thanks to all the provider authors who helped test this new feature.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- DESEC: Long txt records may break, especially if the string includes double quotes. If you use DeSEC you may want to skip this release. See #996
Thanks to the multitudes for contributing to this release!
Major features:
- Re-engineer TXT records for simplicity and better compliance (#1063)
- New Feature: JS formatter and prettifier (#917) FYI: This is an experimental feature. It depends on an external module that may not be supported in the long term.
- NEW PROVIDER: DNS Made Easy (#1093)
- NEW PROVIDER: hosting.de (#1041)
- NEW MACRO: DMARC_BUILDER (#1047)

- BUG: D_EXTEND should not apply DEFAULTS{} (#1055)
Release v3.7.0
This release introduces a major new feature: support for split horizons! The beta users give it two thumbs up, but as with any new feature please adopt it with care. Also in this release are new features for NS1, ClouDNS, and some code cleanups and bug fixes.
Split horizon DNS support introduces a new name scheme for domains: "domain!horizon", where "horizon" differentiates between multiple
instances of the same domain. Define D("example.com!inside") and D("example.com!outside"), for example. The two "example.com" domains are unrelated and must be populated individually.
Breaking changes:
- none
Major features:
- NEW FEATURE: Support Split Horizon DNS (#1034)
Provider-specific changes:
- NS1: Support NS1_URLFWD (#1046)
- CLOUDNS: Implement AUTOSPLIT (#1035)
- BIND: Specify zone filenames using a printf-like specification (#1034)
Other changes and improvements:
- BUG: Labels that are FQDN can cause panics (#1040)
Release v3.6.0
This release includes 2 new providers, a new FETCH() command, and much more!
MSDNS is a new provivder for the Microsoft Windows Server DNS Server. It issues PowerShell commands to do its updates. It will eventually replace ACTIVEDIRECTORY_PS, which was becoming difficult to maintain. MSDNS is very new so test with care. Please report bugs ASAP.
ORACLE is our newest provider. Welcome to the DNSControl family!
FETCH() is a new feature that can "curl" a JSON file. Use the --allow-fetch command line flag to enable this potentially risky feature.
Thanks to all the volunteers for their contributions, especially Atma for helping improve the releng automation!
Breaking changes:
- None
Major features:
- NEW PROVIDER: MSDNS (#1005)
- NEW PROVIDER: Oracle Cloud (#1021)
- New feature: FETCH() permits http gets in dnsconfig.js (#1007)
Provider-specific changes:
- CLOUDFLAREAPI: Now works with PunyCode/IDNA (#1019)
- CLOUDFLAREAPI: Support Punycode for CF_REDIRECT/CF_TEMP_REDIRECT (with tests) (#1026)
- CLOUDNS: Add DS record support (#1018)

Other changes and improvements:
Release v3.5.0
This release includes so many updates and fixes it is difficult to
summarize them all!
Major features:
- NEW PROVIDER: HETZNER DNS Console (#904)
- NEW FEATURE: You can now set variables through flags on the command line (#918) (#913)
- BREAKING CHANGE: Long TXT records require AUTOSPLIT to be split (#957) and are checked are check/preview time (#947) (See below)
- ENHANCEMENT: "dnscontrol get-zones" now outputs the "orange cloud" flag for CloudFlare (#952)
BREAKING CHANGE: Previously different providers handled them differently; some gave an error and others split them silently into 255-octet chunks. This created unhappy surprises when switching providers. Now strings longer than 255-octet must be explictly split (manually or by using the AUTOSPLIT flag). See https://stackexchange.github.io/dnscontrol/js#long-and-multiple-strings
NEW AUTOMATED TESTING! Each PR now triggers a suite of automated tests. If you maintain a provider, you can "bring your own secrets" to activate testing in your fork. This should make it easier to contribute to the project! (thanks Max Horstmann, our GitHub Actions wizard!)
