Hello list,
some time has passed since the Knot DNS 1.4.0 beta release, and now we are
proudly announcing the first release candidate!
Thank you for all your notes and comments. We have fixed quite a lot of bugs
and done some refactoring. But most of the efforts were put into stabilization
of the automatic DNSSEC signing.
There are still some issues that we are aware of, and we will fix those before
gold release. But now is a perfect time to give Knot DNS 1.4 another shot!
Your feedback is appreciated.
Below is a list of significant changes since 1.4.0 beta:
- refactored zone loading
- improved journal locking
- various fixes in client utilities
- DNSSEC: fixed a lot of memory allocation errors
- DNSSEC: improved logging (zone signing, key loading)
- DNSSEC: key pre-publication is possible (uses timestamps in key file)
- DNSSEC: presence of 'dnssec-keydir' config option does not enable signing
- DNSSEC: improved scheduling of zone resigning
