DnsControl v3.5.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-12-07 // over 3 years ago-
🚀 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!)
