StackExchange/dnscontrol v4.10.0 on GitHub

This release includes 4 new DNS record types (HTTPS, SVCB, DNSKEY and DHCID), a big performance improvement for CLOUDFLAREAPI, plus many bug fixes and documentation improvements.

Highlights:

New DNS record types SVCB and HTTPS. Supported on AXFRDDNS, BIND, GCLOUD, HEDNS, INWX, POWERDNS.
New DNS record type DNSKEY. Supported on BIND and DESEC.
New DNS record type DHCID. Supported on POWERDNS.
CLOUDFLAREAPI's cache algorithm was broken, resulting in Zone Info being re-downloaded once for every domain. ppreview is now significantly faster as a result.
BIND: If you use BIND and the SOA() feature, your serial numbers never incremented. Fixed.

Do you maintain a provider? Please consider adding support for HTTPS, SVCB, DNSKEY, and DHCID.

Thanks to @christianbur for taking the lead on HTTPS/SVCB, to @xtexChooser for taking the lead on DNSKEY, and to @@fuero for taking the lead on DHCID! Thanks to @mraspor for reporting the BIND/SOA bug. Thanks to everyone for their contributions! This is a community effort and it wouldn't be a success without all your help!

Help wanted! We need maintainers for MSDNS, NAMEDOTCOM, and SOFTLAYER!

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
