Knot Resolver 6.0.11 (2025-0m-dd)
=================================
Bugfixes
--------
- manager: avoid an uncommon startup race in policy-loader (!1653)
[WARN] exited: policy-loader (exit status 0; not expected)
- manager: fix processes watchdog errors during shutdown (!1651)
- /cache/prefill/*/ca_file: fix setting this attribute (!1655)
Improvements
------------
- manager: allow multiple instances with different rundirs (!1656)
Knot Resolver 6.0.10 (2025-01-20)
=================================
Improvements
------------
- avoid multiple log lines when IPv6 isn't available (!1633)
- manager: fix startup on Linux without libsystemd (!1608)
- auto-reload TLS certificate files (!1626)
- Can be configured using the ``/network/tls/files-watchdog`` option. (!1645)
- reload TLS certificate files even if the configuration has not changed (!1644)
- kresctl: bash command-line TAB completion (!1622)
- add request prioritization (defer) to mitigate DoS attacks (!1641)
- views: allow overriding price-factor (!1646)
Knot Resolver 6.0.9 (2024-11-11)
================================
Improvements
------------
- rate-limiting: add these options, mechanism, docs (!1624)
- manager: secret for TLS session resumption via ticket (RFC5077) (!1567)
The manager creates and sets the secret for all running ``kresd`` workers.
The secret is created automatically if the user does not configure their own secret in the configuration.
This means that the workers will be able to resume each other's TLS sessions, regardless of whether the user has configured it to do so.
- answer NOTIMPL for meta-types and non-IN RR classes (!1589)
- views: improve interaction with old-style policies (!1576)
- stats: add stale answer counter 'answer.stale' (!1591)
- extended_errors: answer with EDE in more cases (!1585, !1588, !1590, !1592)
- local-data: make DNAMEs work, i.e. generate CNAMEs (!1609)
- daemon: use connected UDP sockets by default (#326, !1618)
- docker: multiplatform builds (#922, !1623)
- docker: shared VOLUMEs are prepared for configuration and cache (!1625, !1627)
Configuration path was changed to standard ``/etc/knot-resolver/config.yaml``.
Bugfixes
--------
- daemon/proxyv2: fix informing the engine about TCP/TLS from the actual client (!1578)
- forward: fix wrong pin-sha256 length; also log pins on mismatch (!1601, #813)
Incompatible changes
--------------------
- -f/--forks is removed (#631, !1602)
- gnutls < 3.4 support is dropped, released over 9 years ago (!1601)
- libuv < 1.27 support is dropped, released over 5 years ago (!1618)
Knot Resolver 6.0.8 (2024-07-23)
================================
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}
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)
Knot Resolver 6.0.7 (2024-03-27)
================================
Improvements
------------
- manager: clear the cache via management HTTP API (#876, !1491)
- manager: added support for Python 3.12 and removed for 3.7 (!1502)
- manager: use build-time install prefix to execute `kresd` instead of PATH (!1511)
- docs: documentation is now separated into user and developer parts (!1514)
- daemon: ignore UDP requests from ports < 1024 (!1507)
- manager: increase startup timeout for processes (!1518, !1520)
- local-data: increase default DB size to 2G on 64-bit platforms (!1518)
Bugfixes
--------
- fix listening by interface name containing dashes (#900, !1500)
- fix kresctl http request timeout (!1505)
- fix RPZ if it contains apex NS record (!1516)
- fix RPZ if SOA is repated, as usual in AXFR output (!1521)
- avoid RPZ overriding the root SOA (!1521)
- fix on 32-bit systems with 64-bit time_t (!1510)
- fix paths to knot-dns libs if exec_prefix != prefix (!1503)
- manager: add missing early check that neither a custom port nor TLS is set for
authoritative server forwarding (#902, !1505)
Knot Resolver 6.0.6 (2024-02-13)
================================
Security
--------
- CVE-2023-50868: NSEC3 closest encloser proof can exhaust CPU

- trust_anchors: don't do 5011-style updates on anchors from files
that were loaded as unmanaged trust anchors (!753)
- trust_anchors.add(): include these TAs in .summary() (!753)
- policy module: support '#' for separating port numbers, for consistency
- fix startup on macOS+BSD when </dev/null and cqueues installed
- policy.RPZ: log problems from zone-file level of parser as well (#453)
- fix flushing of messages to logs in some cases (notably systemd) (!781)
- fix fallback when SERVFAIL or REFUSED is received from upstream (!784)

Module API changes
------------------
- kr_straddr_split() changed API a bit (compiler will catch that)
- C modules defining `*_layer` or `*_props` symbols need to change a bit
See the upgrading guide for details. It's detected on module load.
Knot Resolver 3.2.1 (2019-01-10)
================================
Bugfixes
--------
- trust_anchors: respect validity time range during TA bootstrap (!748)
- fix TLS rehandshake handling (!739)
- make TLS_FORWARD compatible with GnuTLS 3.3 (!741)
- special thanks to Grigorii Demidov for his long-term work on Knot Resolver!
Improvements
------------
- improve handling of timed out outgoing TCP connections (!734)
- trust_anchors: check syntax of public keys in DNSKEY RRs (!748)
- validator: clarify message about bogus non-authoritative data (!735)
- dnssec validation failures contain more verbose reasoning (!735)
- new function trust_anchors.summary() describes state of DNSSEC TAs (!737),
and logs new state of trust anchors after start up and automatic changes
- trust anchors: refuse revoked DNSKEY even if specified explicitly,
and downgrade missing the SEP bit to a warning
Knot Resolver 3.2.0 (2018-12-17)
================================
New features
------------
- module edns_keepalive to implement server side of RFC 7828 (#408)
- module nsid to implement server side of RFC 5001 (#289)
- module bogus_log provides .frequent() table (!629, credit Ulrich Wisser)
- module stats collects flags from answer messages (!629, credit Ulrich Wisser)
- module view supports multiple rules with identical address/TSIG specification
and keeps trying rules until a "non-chain" action is executed (!678)
- module experimental_dot_auth implements an DNS-over-TLS to auth protocol
(!711, credit Manu Bretelle)
- net.bpf bindings allow advanced users to use eBPF socket filters
Bugfixes
--------
- http module: only run prometheus in parent process if using --forks=N,
as the submodule collects metrics from all sub-processes as well.
- TLS fixes for corner cases (!700, !714, !716, !721, !728)
- fix build with -DNOVERBOSELOG (#424)
- policy.{FORWARD,TLS_FORWARD,STUB}: respect net.ipv{4,6} setting (!710)
- avoid SERVFAILs due to certain kind of NS dependency cycles, again
(#374) this time seen as 'circular dependency' in verbose logs
- policy and view modules do not overwrite result finished requests (!678)
Improvements
------------
- Dockerfile: rework, basing on Debian instead of Alpine
- policy.{FORWARD,TLS_FORWARD,STUB}: give advantage to IPv6
when choosing whom to ask, just as for iteration
- use pseudo-randomness from gnutls instead of internal ISAAC (#233)
- tune the way we deal with non-responsive servers (!716, !723)
- documentation clarifies interaction between policy and view modules (!678, !730)
Module API changes
------------------
- new layer is added: answer_finalize
- kr_request keeps ::qsource.packet beyond the begin layer
- kr_request::qsource.tcp renamed to ::qsource.flags.tcp
- kr_request::has_tls renamed to ::qsource.flags.tls
- kr_zonecut_add(), kr_zonecut_del() and kr_nsrep_sort() changed parameters slightly
