DNSControl/dnscontrol v4.37.0

on GitHub

Greetings DNS fans!

It's been a while since the last release. Thank you for your patience. We have some exciting news!

DNSControl has gone independent! The GitHub repos have been transfers to an independent GitHub org appropriately named DNSControl. We thank Stack Overflow for their past support and a special thanks to the SO employees (CP and RJ especially) involved in the negotiations and the technical work to complete the transfers that followed.

• Due to the change, our CI/CD pipeline required many updates. The goal of this release is to fix those issues without introducing any new features. See #4227 for details. It also includes some bug fixes and new features that had been merged but not yet released prior to the separation.
• Once we're confident the new system works, we'll start merging the PRs that have been accumulating since May.

Special thanks to @cafferata and @chicks-net for their help getting this release across the finish line!

Action needed: New names

New org, new names!

Homebrew is now DNSControl/tap/dnscontrol. You'll want to uninstall the old name:

 brew uninstall stackexchange/tap/dnscontrol
 brew install DNSControl/tap/dnscontrol

There are new URLs for Containers:

• Docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/dnscontrol/dnscontrol/
• GitHub Container Registry: https://github.com/dnscontrol/dnscontrol/pkgs/container/dnscontrol

The official GitHub Action is now:

• https://github.com/DNSControl/dnscontrol-action
• Please update your .github files.

Release highlights:

• Many PRs related to the separation including CICD and documentation fixes. @cafferata took on most of the burden!

• cfa1126: BUGFIX: Make OPENPGPKEY records functional. (#4139) (@gucci-on-fleek)
• d6cb914: BUGFIX: Two global flags can be appreviated to -v, causing confusion (#4141) (@tlimoncelli)

Thanks to all contributors involved in this release! This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all of your contributions!

Sincerely,
--Tom Limoncelli
