Mostly useful for testing/non-prod use cases to generate stack traces. + +## Updates + +* *chaos* now returns the correct `version.bind` `TXT` record. +* *kubernetes* + * Now returns a proper NS record for the cluster domain + * Supports `ExternalName` services, which was an oversight in the 1.0.0 version of the [Kubernetes dns spec](https://github.com/kubernetes/dns/blob/master/docs/specification.md) + * Now supports federation records + * Has had some other bug fixes. +* *file* + * Now supports DNAME [RFC 6672](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6672) + * Refuse to load a zone without a SOA record. +* *file, auto* don't reload a zone when the SOA's serial hasn't changed. +* *secondary* now behaves properly if queried before the zone has been transferred +* *log, errors* output everything to *stdout* and let `journald` or `docker` (or whatever) that care of further handling. This is backwards **incompatible** change wrt to the Corefile: `log query.log` will return an error. +* *cache* got a new cache implementation to be more scalable and a new `prefetch` option for fetching records before the TTL expires. +* *proxy* does not use `singleinflight` anymore, removing a potential bottleneck on the single mutex in that implementation; it now forwards *all* queries it get to the upstream nameserver. + + +# Contributors + +The following people helped with getting this release done: + +Chris Aniszczyk, +Chris O'Haver, +cricketliu, +Eric Yan, +John Belamaric, +Jonas Östanbäck, +Manuel Alejandro de Brito Fontes, +Miek Gieben, +Pat Moroney, +Yong Tang + +If you want to help, please check out one of the [issues](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/) +and start coding! + +For documentation and help, see our [community page](https://coredns.io/community/). |
