DNSControl/dnscontrol v5.3.0 on GitHub

Greetings DNS fans!

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

SECRET NEW FEATURE: There's a new syntax for D(). Test it out and let me know if you like it. (Both the old and new syntax will be supported.) Details are here: https://docs.dnscontrol.org/getting-started/converting-dnsconfig

TWO NEW PROVIDERS: DNSControl now supports MITTWALD and SPACESHIP! Thanks and welcome to @twiesing and @rootful who joins the project as its maintainers. We look forward to great things!

Sincerely,
--Tom Limoncelli

Monthly video call!

Everyone is invited to the Monthly DNSControl Community Video Conference Call on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Join whether you are a new user with questions or an experienced developer that wants to discuss DNSControl internals... or anything in between! Meeting details on
GitHub Discussions.

SECRET BETA: Try the new D() syntax!

The new D() syntax in dnsconfig.js attempts to improve usability. It is fully backwards compatible. See the examples in the conversion guide. Feedback needed!
