4.2.1
This release fixes several bugs and makes a few features more robust or intuitive. It also contains a few performance improvements for API users.
New Features
Add SLAVE-RENOTIFY zone metadata support
Add configurable timeout for inbound AXFR
Add CentOS 8 as builder target
gmysql backend, add an option to send the SSL capability flag
Improvements
API: reduce number of database connections
Register a few known RR types and remove an unknown one
bindbackend: use metadata for also-notifies as well
pdnsutil increase-serial: under SOA-EDIT=INCEPTION-EPOCH, bump as if it is EPOCH
API: optionally do not return dnssec info in domain list
Basic validation of $GENERATE parameters
Bug Fixes
LUA view: do not crash on empty IP list
API: Accept headers without spaces
Avoid database state-related SERVFAILs after a LUA error
Just before 4.2.0, some SQL-related fixes broke edit-zone and other features with the LMDB backend. This has been fixed now.
rfc2136, pdnsutil: somewhat improve duplicate record handling
4.2.0
Compared to the last release candidate, one more bug has been fixed.
The LMDB backend is incomplete in this version. Slaving zones works, loading zones with pdnsutil works, but more fine grained edits (using edit-zone, or the REST API) fail. We hope to fix this soon in a 4.2.x release.
For an overview of features new since 4.1.x, please see the 4.2.0 announcement blog post.
