CZ.NIC Labs proudly presents the final release of Knot DNS 1.6.0. This version
also becomes an LTS (Long-term support) version of the Knot DNS software.
We added two more bugfixes on top of the features covered by the previous
e-mails announcing the release candidates. And as this is the final release,
let's highlight the most important changes:
The only new feature in Knot 1.6.0 is 'persistent zone timers'. The refresh,
expire, and flush zone timers are now stored in file-backed database. Thus,
the state of the timers survives a complete restart of the server. (Please
note that the feature is optional and requires the LMDB library.)
The processing of letter case in RDATA domain names was modified: In most
cases, the names are converted to lower-case letters. The exception are RR
types, which are treated case-sensitively in DNSSEC. With this change, some
Knot DNS internals were simplified and also problems with invalid signatures
issued by Knot DNS for mixed-case RR sets should be gone.
A few minor bugs in EDNS processing were resolved.
And since the -rc2, we fixed forced zone retransfer (knotc refresh -f <zone>),
which got broken at some point during 1.5 development. And we also corrected
slave zone expiration, when the master is responding to SOA queries but
refusing the transfer.
We would like to thank Anand Buddhdev for helping us in testing the release
candidates and also for reporting the last two bugs.
