DNSControl

Greetings DNS fans!

Release v4.43.0 highlights:

• 4 New Providers! The most new providers we've had in one release in a long time! Thanks and welcome to our newest maintainers! We look forward to great things!
  • DYNU (#4364) thanks to @DustyRah!
  • OpenWRT (#4166) thanks to @huskyistaken!
  • GIGAHOST (#4394) thanks to @jochristian!
  • SCALEWAY (#4462) thanks to @alessiopcc!
• AUTODNS now supports child domains. Thanks, @arnoschoon!
• ROUTE53 can now edit SOA records. Thanks, @istenrot!
• AXFRDDNS now supports communication over Unix domain sockets. Thanks, @tomfitzhenry!
• GANDI_V5 now supports HTTPS/SVCB, NAPTR, LOC, OPENPGPKEY record types. Thanks @francois2metz!
• "init" support added for AKAMAIEDGEDNS, AUTODNS, CLOUDNS, SeSEC, DNSSCCALE, DNSMADEEASY, FORTIGATE, JOKER, LINODE, MIKROTIK, and PORKBUN. If you haven't tried "dnscontrol init" yet, it's one of the coolest new features.
• The HETZNER provider has been removed, having been replaced by HETZNERV2, thanks to @das7pad!

Upcoming releases:

• The next release will be "v4.43.1-rc1". It will have no changes. We're just testing the ability to create release candidates. Release candidates will not appear in Homebrew or (maybe) Docker.
• There may be a v4.43.2 soon (again, no changes) if we need to flush out rc1. For example, if Homebrew publishes rc1 as the default.

Thanks to all contributors involved in this release! This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all of your contributions!

Sincerely,
--Tom Limoncelli

Monthly video call!

Everyone is invited to the Monthly DNSControl Community Video Conference Call on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Join whether you are a new user with questions or an experienced developer that wants to discuss DNSControl internals... or anything in between! Meeting details on

• NAMEDOTCOM, OPENSRS and SOFTLAYER need maintainers! These providers have no maintainer. Maintainers respond to PRs and fix bugs in a timely manner, and try to stay on top of protocol changes.
