Hello DNS fans!

This release introduces one new provider and many small fixes and improvements.

  • NEW PROVIDER: Sakura Cloud (SAKURACLOUD) (thanks to @ttkzw!)
  • NEW FEATURE: The HASH() function can generate hash strings. (thanks to @fuero!)
  • Improvements to providers: AUTODNS now supports PTR records, GANDI_V5 supports their new authentication system, HUAWEICLOUD has better DNSSEC support, NS1 documents that NS1_URLFWD is going away, ORACLE now abides by rate- limits automatically, PORKBUN now supports URL forwarding, and POWERDNS has added some reliability improvements.

Some big changes are coming:

  • #3108 the "change count" is moving out of the individual provider code, into the main code. This will make the "# corrections" count more accurate.
  • #3082 investigates making it easier to add new DNS types (A, MX, etc).

Learning Go? Interested in a starter project? Please email tlimoncelli at stackoverflow dot com.

  • 23 providers still use diff.NewCompat() instead of the new diff2.By* functions. There's nothing wrong with that, but upgrade will make the code cleaner, more simple, and might make the "preview" output cleaner.
  • I have a few other refactoring ideas that will clean up the code. Interested? Let me know!

Thanks to everyone for their contributions! This is a community effort and it wouldn't be a success 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
