Dear Knot DNS users,
CZ.NIC is proud to release the 2.4.0 release of Knot DNS. This release
contains many improvements over 2.3.x release of Knot DNS.
The Knot DNS 2.4.x is the new stable branch. Starting from this release
we are going to support current stable (2.4.x) and previous stable (2.3.x)
branches, and at the same time we are deprecating previous Knot DNS 1.6.x
release.
Now the new features we are so excited about!
* We have a new journal to store zone changes, it's key features are:
- all journals for all zones are in a single LMDB database
(defaults to storage/journal; 1G size)
- the occupied space is measured per zone
- old changesets get preserved after zone flush until we run out of space
- if zone flushing is disabled and journal gets full, it tries to free up
space by merging older changesets
- all changes are done by transactions, resulting in always-consistent DB
(but some mutexes still necessary for opening DB && for keeping zone
contents consistent with journal)
- kjournalprint provides a way to list zones in journal
- old journal is automatically imported, but the configuration needs to be
updated manually
* Thanks to qp-trie (originally proposed by Tony Finch) adapted to Knot DNS
we have much lower memory consumption when Knot DNS is used with many
zones
* The zone timers and zone events have been refactored and improved
* The SOA query and transfer now shares the TCP connection
* There's a new statistics module for traffic measurements
There are also several other bugfixes and improvements related to transfers,
timers and other areas.
And that's it! Thank you for using Knot DNS. And we are really looking
forward to your feedback.

Good morning Ondrej,

DNS. This release

Thank you and your team for this release! It has some very nice
improvements (such as improved timers and TCP connection re-use, which I
am happy about).
I now have an internal package of it, and it's running on one of our
test servers. I'll be sure to provide feedback and/or open bug reports soon.

Hello Ondřej,
First of all, thank you and everyone at CZ.NIC for the great work you do
on Knot. We've been using it for a while now without issues, and
recently moved up to version 2 which was mostly painless.
Up until Knot 2.3.2 I've had no trouble compiling on our CentOS 6 build
server to distribute via an internal yum repo. When I tried to compile
2.4.0, however, I ran into the following error:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/rpmbuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/knot-2.4.0/src'

./knot/nameserver/query_module.h:167: error: ‘__ATOMIC_RELAXED’
undeclared (first use in this function)
As far as I can tell, and please correct me if I'm wrong, this is due to
using an outdated version of GCC (4.4.7), which is the latest available
on the epel repository for CentOS 6. We saw no issues building on our
CentOS 7 build machine, where a more recent version of GCC is available
from the epel repo.
Is this expected?
Thanks, best regards.

Hello Gonzalo,
we are pleased to hear any feedback from our users :)
Yes, exactly, Knot DNS 2.4.0 uses compiler features not present in GCC 4.4.
Maybe it would be better to migrate your server to newer system (e.g.
CentOS 7). If you really need to compile Knot DNS 2.4.0 on CentOS 6,
probably installing Cern Developer Toolset 2.0 (devtoolset-2), which
brings GCC 4.8, solves your problem. It needs to get familiar with
first, but it is a good tool anyway. Please let us know if it helps you.
Have a wonderful day,

Hi Gonzalo,
I would support Libor's suggestion. While it's possible to compile Knot
2.x on CentOS 6, it just runs better on CentOS 7. For example, we
discovered that under CentOS 6, we had to disable recvmmsg() in Knot.
Even though recvmmsg() has been backported into the CentOS 6 kernel, it
does not work so well.

Anand

After some trial and error I was able to compile Knot 2.4.0 for CentOS 6
using devtoolset-2.
We're in the process of updating our systems though, which I agree is
the better solution going forward.
Thank you Libor and Anand for your feedback.

It looks like Cern Developer Toolset is a rebuild of the Red Hat
Developer Toolset. There is also a CentOS group that rebuilds the
devtoolset:
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-4/
This one has a slightly newer gcc 5.x.
I also see an even newer devtoolset with gcc 6.x on the CentOS mirror
but I'm not sure if it's been released yet:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/sclo/x86_64/rh/devtoolset-6/
