Hi DNSControl fans!
The speed and concurrency benefits announced in v4.15.0 were accidentally only applied to preview
and not push
. The 2-byte change in #3249 fixes that. Now push
is as fast as preview
(plus the time it takes to do any updates).
One user reported runtimes went from 57 seconds to 7 seconds. That's a 87% reduction in run-time!
Best,
Tom

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
