CoreDNS-006 has been released!

CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins, where each plugin implements a DNS feature.

What is New

Core

Move CoreDNS to https://github.com/coredns/coredns together with several other repos. This will be the new home for CoreDNS development.

Fixed:

• Fix hot-reloading. This would fail with [ERROR] SIGUSR1: listen tcp :53: bind: address already in use.
• Allow removal of core plugin, see comments in plugin.cfg.

Plugin improvements

New

• reverse plugin: allows CoreDNS to respond dynamically to an PTR request and the related A/AAAA request.

Improvements/changes

• proxy a new protocol: grpc: speak DNS over gRPC. Server side impl. resides in this out of tree plugin.
• file additional section processing for MX and SRV queries.
• prometheus fix hot reloading
• trace various improvements
