Dear Knot Resolver users,
Knot Resolver 5.0.0 has been released!
This version has a few backward incompatible changes. Most notably, the
network interface configuration has been moved back to the configuration
file and configuration via systemd sockets is no longer supported.
Unfortunately, this change requires a manual modification of your
configuration file if you've previously configured your network
interfaces via systemd sockets. Please follow the instructions printed
out during package upgrade and check out our upgrading guide:
https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/upgrading.html
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Incompatible changes
--------------------
- see upgrading guide:
https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/upgrading.html

Improvements
------------
- logging: control-socket commands don't log unless --verbose (#528)

cqueues (#512, #521, !894)
- lua: remove dependency on lua-filesystem (#520, !912)
- net.listen(): allow binding to non-local address with freebind
