+
+We are pleased to announce the [release](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.4.0)
+of CoreDNS-1.4.0! Our first release after we became a graduated project in
+[CNCF](https://www.cncf.io/).
+
+Deprecation notice for the *next* release:
+
+ *  [*auto*](/plugins/auto) will deprecate **TIMEOUT** and recommends the use of RELOAD ([2516](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2516).
+ *  [*auto*](/plugins/file) and [*file*](/plugins/auto) will deprecate NO_RELOAD and recommends the use of RELOAD set to 0 ([2536](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2536).
+ *  [*health*](/plugins/health) will revert back to report process level health without plugin
+    status. A new *ready* plugin will make sure plugins have at least completed their startup
+    sequence.
+ *  The [*proxy*](/plugins/proxy) will be moved to an external repository and as such be deprecated
+    from the default set of plugin; use the [*forward*](/plugins/forward) as a replacement.
+
+The [previous](/019/01/13/coredns-1.3.1-release/) announced deprecations have been enacted.
+
+The (unused) gRPC watch functionally was removed from the server.
+
+Note we're actively working on two (probably related) bugs
+([2593](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2593),
+[2624](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/2624)) which should hopefully result in a fix and
+a new release fairly quickly.
+
+# Plugins
+
+Random updates in documentation and fixes in tests and various plugins.
+
+ *  [*kubernetes*](/plugins/kubernetes) fixes the logging now that kubernetes' client lib switched
+    to klog from glog.
+
+ *  [*hosts*](/plugins/hosts) fixes IPv4 addresses in IPV6 syntax.
+
+ *  [*etcd*](/plugins/etcd) adds credential support and a fix for the reply when the `host` field is
+    empty.
+
+ *  [*log*](/plugins/log) has been made more efficient.
+
+ *  [*forward*](/plugins/forward) drops out of order messages, this is solve occasionally FORMERRs
+    people saw.
