+
+CoreDNS-005 has been [released](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v005)!
+
+CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins, where each plugin implements a DNS feature.
+
+# What is New
+
+# Core
+
+A way to configure (external) plugin was added. Edit `plugin.cfg` and do a `go generate && go
+build` and your plugin has been added. This allows for out-of-tree plugin to be easily
+added. Documentation can be found in
+[plugin.cfg](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin.cfg).
+
+## Plugin improvements
+
+### New
+
+* *erratic*: a new plugin that can drop queries, limited in the current functionality, but useful for testing.
+* *trace*: a new plugin that implements OpenTracing-based tracing using Zipkin.
+
+### Improvements/changes
+
+* *proxy*: fix a bug when a connection hangs and never gets release (#467)
+* *proxy*: Fold *httpproxy* into it, which is now a normal proxy with a special `protocol`. For
+  Monitoring an extra label was added: `proxy_proto` that shows the protocol used (`dns` or `https_google`). 
+  See the [proxy README.md](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin/proxy/README.md) for details.
+* *httpproxy*: removed because functionality is moved to *proxy*.
+* *kubernetes*: Now implements the full
+  [Kubernetes DNS Specification](https://github.com/kubernetes/dns/blob/master/docs/specification.md),
+  including regular and headless services, endpoint hostnames, A, SRV, and PTR records.
+* *kubernetes*: Implements the `pod` type for requests in both a Kube-DNS compatible mode
+  (`insecure`) and a mode which validates that the IP in question belongs to a pod in the specified
+  namespace (`verified`)
+* *kubernetes*: Simplified the configuration of reverse zones. Instead of listing the zones in the
+  zone list, you can just add a list of CIDRs using the `cidrs` option.
+* *rewrite*: allow rewriting more bits of the incoming packet. This required some backward
+  *incompatible* changes, e.g. a new **FIELD** keyword is now required. See the 
+  [rewrite README.md](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin/rewrite/README.md) for details.
