This release is packed with new features and improvements!
- Two new providers! (DNS Made Easy and hosting.de)
- A new experimental formatter for "dnsconfig.js" (
dnscontrol fmt) - An easier way to build DMARC records (DMARC_BUILDER())
- Sadly, the SOFTLAYER is now unmaintained. We need a volunteer. See #1080
Some internals improvements will help future provider-authors:
- TXT records has been completely rewritten to enable providers to indicate all their edge cases, such as not permitting long strings, or not permitting double-quotes in strings. This should make long and/or strange TXT records easier to handle in the future. The code is cleaner and more simple. Plus, it is general and supports all DNS records, not just TXT.
- The "target" field is no longer exported. This completes a change that started many months ago to require Getters and Setters for the RecordConfig.Target field. This makes providers less brittle and prepares us for using Go's future Generics. Thanks to all the provider authors who helped test this new feature.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- DESEC: Long txt records may break, especially if the string includes double quotes. If you use DeSEC you may want to skip this release. See #996
