Hello.
In case you're using our upstream repositories for Debian or Ubuntu, as
suggested on https://www.knot-resolver.cz/download/
you'll be running into their signing key expiring since today. As we
didn't update it in time, you'll have to update it manually by re-running:
wgethttps://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-resolver/knot-resolver-release.deb
dpkg -i knot-resolver-release.deb
Ticket: https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/issues/747
We also forgot to add Ubuntu 22.04, so that is fixed now, too.

Dear Knot Resolver users,
Knot Resolver versions 5.7.4 (stable) and 6.0.8 (early-access) have been
released!
Both releases include important security fixes, an update is strongly
advised!
Version 6.0.8 additionally brings some improvements, like faster policy
reloads using a new policy-loader process, respecting system-wide crypto
policies, JSON metrics, separate IPv6 and IPv4 metrics, and more.
---
Knot Resolver 5.7.4:
Security:
- reduce buffering of transmitted data, especially TCP-based in userspace
Also expose some of the new tweaks in lua:
(require 'ffi').C.the_worker.engine.net.tcp.user_timeout = 1000
(require
'ffi').C.the_worker.engine.net.listen_{tcp,udp}_buflens.{snd,rcv}
Improvements:
- add the fresh DNSSEC root key "KSK-2024" already, Key ID 38696 (!1556)
Incompatible changes:
- libknot 3.0.x support is dropped (!1558)
Upstream last maintained 3.0.x in spring 2022.

Knot Resolver 6.0.8:
Security:
- reduce buffering of transmitted data, especially TCP-based in userspace
Also expose some of the new tweaks in lua:
(require 'ffi').C.the_worker.engine.net.tcp.user_timeout = 1000
(require

Packaging:
- all packages:
- remove unused dependency on `libedit` (!1553)
- deb packages:
- packages ``knot-resolver-core`` and ``knot-resolver-manager`` have
been merged into a single ``knot-resolver6`` package. Suffix packages
``knot-resolver-*`` have been renamed to ``knot-resolver6-*``. This
change _should_ be transparent, but please do let us know if you
encounter any issues while updating. (!1549)
- package ``python3-prometheus-client`` is now only an optional
dependency
- rpm packages:
- packages ``knot-resolver-core`` and ``knot-resolver-manager`` have
been merged into a single ``knot-resolver`` package. This change
_should_ be transparent, but please do let us know if you encounter
any issues while updating. (!1549)
- bugfix: do not overwrite config.yaml (!1525)
- package ``python3-prometheus_client`` is now only an optional
dependency
- arch package:
- fix after they renamed a dependency (!1536)
Improvements:
- TLS (DoT, DoH): respect crypto policy overrides in OS (!1526)
- manager: export metrics to JSON via management HTTP API (!1527)
* JSON is the new default metrics output format
* the ``prometheus-client`` Python package is now an optional dependency,
required only for Prometheus export to work
- cache: prefetching records
* predict module: prefetching expiring records moved to prefetch module
* prefetch module: new module to prefetch expiring records
- stats: add separate metrics for IPv6 and IPv4 (!1545)
- add the fresh DNSSEC root key "KSK-2024" already, Key ID 38696 (!1556)
- manager: policy-loader: new component for separate loading of policy
rules (!1540)
The ``policy-loader`` ensures that configured policies are loaded
into the rules database
where they are made available to all running kresd workers. This
loading is no longer done
by all kresd workers as it was before, so this should significantly
improve the resolver's
startup/reload time when loading large sets of policy rules, e.g.
large RPZs.
Incompatible changes:
- cache: the ``cache.prediction`` configuration property has been
reorganized
into ``cache.prefetch.expiring`` and ``cache.prefetch.prediction``,
changing
the default behaviour as well. See the `relevant documentation section
<https://www.knot-resolver.cz/documentation/v6.0.8/config-cache-predict.html>`_
for more.
- libknot <=3.2.x support is dropped (!1565)
Bugfixes:
- arch package: fix after they renamed a dependency (!1536)
- fix startup with `dnssec: false` (!1548)
- rpm packages: do not overwrite config.yaml (!1525)
- fix NSEC3 records missing in answer for positive wildcard expansion
with the NSEC3 having over-limit iteration count (#910, !1550)
- views: fix a bug in subnet matching (!1562)
