+
+CoreDNS-002 has been [released](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases)!
+
+CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins, where each plugin implements a DNS feature.
+
+## What is New
+
+* `-port` was renamed to `-dns.port` to avoid clashing with Caddy's `-port` (which was renamed to
+  `http.port`).
+* Lumberjack logger was removed, this means no built in log rotation; use an external tool for that.
+* Brushed up GoDoc for all packages.
+* Brushed up all READMEs to be more standard and look like manual page.
+* Golint-ed and go vet-ed the code - these can now (somewhat) useful tools before submitting PRs.
+* Add more tests and show test coverage on submitting/PRs.
+* Various Corefile parsing bugs fixed, better syntax error detection.
+
+## Plugin improvements:
+
+* plugin/root: a root plugin, same usage as in [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/root).
+  See plugin/root/README.md for its use in CoreDNS.
+  This makes stanzas like this shorter:
+
+    ~~~ txt
+    .:53 {
+        file /etc/coredns/zones/db.example.net example.net
+        file /etc/coredns/zones/db.example.org example.org
+        file /etc/coredns/zones/db.example.com example.com
+    }
+    ~~~
+
+    Can be written as:
+
+    ~~~ txt
+    .:53 {
+        root /etc/coredns/zones
+        file db.example.net example.net
+        file db.example.org example.org
+        file db.example.com example.com
+    }
+    ~~~
+
+* plugin/auto: similar to the *file* plugin, but automatically picks up new zones.
+  The following Corefile will load all zones found under `/etc/coredns/org` and be authoritative
+  for `.org.`:
+
+    ~~~ corefile
+    . {
+        auto org {
+            directory /etc/coredns/org
+        }
+    }
+    ~~~
+* plugin/file: handle wildcards better.
+* plugin/kubernetes: TLS support for kubernetes and other improvements.
+* plugin/cache: use an LRU cache to make it memory bounded. Added more option to have more
+  control on what is cached and for how long. The cache stanza was extended:
+
+    ~~~ txt
+    . {
+        cache {
+            success CAPACITY [TTL]
+            denial CAPACITY [TTL]
+        }
+    }
+    ~~~
+
+  See plugin/cache/README.md for more details.
+
+* plugin/dnssec: replaced go-cache with golang-lru in dnssec. Also adds a `cache_capacity`.
+  option in dnssec plugin so that the capacity of the LRU cache could be specified in the config
+  file.
+* plugin/logging: allow a response classs to be specified on log on responses matching the name *and*
+  the response class. For instance only log denials for example.com:
+
+    ~~~ corefile
+    . {
+        log example.com {
+            class denial
+        }
+    }
+    ~~~
+
+* plugin/proxy: performance improvements.
