[knot-dns-users] Knot DNS 1.2-rc1 finally out!

Hi Everyone, we're proud to announce, that release candidate for the next major release 1.2 is out! Apart from a couple bugfixes, it features full DDNS support (including update forwarding). There are a few limitations related to DNSSEC-signed zones, please refer to user manual for more information. Access control for dynamic updates could be configured in a similar fashion to transfers, using the 'update-in' keyword. Next major thing is an updated remote control tool. Basic commands for start/stop/restart/compile and checks are the same as they were, but the command for refresh/flush/status could be executed remotely given the right configuration. You can enable remote control interface with a new config section 'control', f.e.: control { listen-on { address 127.0.0.1@5553; } allow remote0; } You can also specify a remote with associated TSIG key for security reasons. Knot control tool then accepts host, port and TSIG key as a parameter, f.e.: $ knotc -s 127.0.0.1 -p 5553 status Key could be also specified in a file instead of a command line parameter. But that is just a tip of the iceberg. For more smaller features, like configurable TCP timeouts or LOC support, refer to RELNOTES and a user documentation.
