  • v3.5.0 Changes

    December 07, 2020

    🚀 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!)

    • 🚚 AZURE_DNS: Remove artificial delays (#943)
    • CLOUDFLAREAPI: get-zones now outputs "orange cloud" status (#952)

    • #874: Anyone interested in making a fmt tool for dnsconfig.js?
    • Requests for providers for RcodeZero #884, Joker.com #854, Constellix (DNSMadeEasy) #842, and others.

  • v3.2.0 Changes

    June 02, 2020

    Lots of great new stuff! A new provider (PowerDNS), a new record type (DS), a new notification target (Slack), and "get-certs" now generates .PEM files.

    🔒 SECURITY CHANGE:
    get-certs now generates one additional file: a .pem file, which is just .crt + "\n" + .key ). While not breaking change, it does contain secrets and therefore should be protected. If you encrypt or otherwise protect the .key file, you should take the same care with the .pem file.

    Major features:

    • 🆕 NEW PROVIDER: PowerDNS
    • 🆕 NEW RTYPE: DS (Thanks Robert and Nicolai!)
    • get-certs now generates .pem files (.crt + .key)
    • 🆕 New notification target: Slack (Thanks Jan-Philipp!)

    Provider-specific changes:

    • 👍 CLOUDFLAREAPI: Now supports DS records

    Other stuff:

    • Lists of adds/changes/deletes are now sorted (#755)
    • 🛠 Fixed vendoring problem
    • _domainconnect is added to the whitelist
    • ⚡️ Update many dependencies.

    May 23, 2020

    🚀 NOTE: Version v3.1.0 was not released due to a technical issue.

    Major features:

    • 🆕 NEW PROVIDER: AXFR+DDNS (#259) (#729)
