Dear Knot Resolver users, Knot Resolver 5.3.0 has been released! Note regarding CentOS 8 packages: Due to the Red Hat's hostile decision to exclude devel packages from their distribution, we won't be providing upstream packages or maintaining knot-resolver package in EPEL8 until libuv-devel has been included in official RHEL8 release [rhbz#1895872]. If you depend on these, we can find a solution for your use-case as part of the paid support we offer [1]. [rhbz#1895872] - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1895872 [1] - https://www.knot-resolver.cz/support/pro/ Improvements ------------ - more consistency in using parent-side records for NS addresses (!1097) - better algorithm for choosing nameservers (!1030, !1126, !1140, !1141, !1143) - daf module: add daf.clear() (!1114) - dnstap module: more features and don't log internal requests (!1103) - dnstap module: include in upstream packages and Docker image (!1110, !1118) - randomize record order by default, i.e. reorder_RR(true) (!1124) - prometheus module: transform graphite tags into prometheus labels (!1109) - avoid excessive logging of UDP replies with sendmmsg (!1138) Bugfixes -------- - view: fail config if bad subnet is specified (!1112) - doh2: fix memory leak (!1117) - policy.ANSWER: minor fixes, mainly around NODATA answers (!1129) - http, watchdog modules: fix stability problems (!1136) Incompatible changes -------------------- - dnstap module: `log_responses` option gets nested under `client`; see new docs for config example (!1103) - libknot >= 2.9 is required Full changelog: https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/raw/v5.3.0/NEWS Sources: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-resolver/knot-resolver-5.3.0.tar.xz GPG signature: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-resolver/knot-resolver-5.3.0.tar.xz.asc Documentation: https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/v5.3.0/ -- Tomas Krizek PGP: 4A8B A48C 2AED 933B D495 C509 A1FB A5F7 EF8C 4869

Knot Resolver: Upcoming Debian 9 & Ubuntu 16.04 EOL

by Tomas Krizek

Dear Knot Resolver users, I have an early notification for those who rely on our upstream package repositories for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04. Ubuntu 16.04: We'll no longer provide packages after April 2021 when the distribution reaches end of life. Debian 9: Knot Resolver 5.x is the last supported major version for Debian 9. Once we release a new major version, we'll no longer provide packages for Debian 9. We expect to release our next major version in the second half of 2021. Packages for other distributions remain unaffected and are supported as usual. Thanks for understanding. -- Tomas Krizek PGP: 4A8B A48C 2AED 933B D495 C509 A1FB A5F7 EF8C 4869
