This is the pre-release for version 1.8.0rc1.
This release has a number of bug fixes, a list of features added and
some defaults changed.
The defaults that are changed enable options that have been introduced
in the past with an option that defaulted to off, but have proven to
work, improve speed and resilience and we would now recommend to enable
when configuring the server. Still the option exists if you want to
manually specify the feature.
New features include options for unbound-control: auth_zone_reload,
auth_zone_transfer. New counters in the statistics output:
num.queries.tls, num.query.subnet, num.query.subnet_cache. New options
in unbound.conf: dns64-ignore-aaaa, tcp-idle-timeout,
edns-tcp-keepalive, edns-tcp-keepalive-timeout, tcp-connection-limit,
stub-no-cache, forward-no-cache, log-servfail, log-local-actions,
serve-expired-ttl, serve-expired-ttl-reset. Commandline options -R (use
direct queries) for unbound-anchor, -d (delay) for streamtcp. There is
support for RR type SMIMEA. There is support for EDNS option EDNS
KeepAlive.
The libunbound library has gone up an api version increment because one
of the callback signatures has changed. New information is available to
the callback, existing usage of the function could conceivable get an
upgrade by ignoring the extra function call parameter. For python
scripts, a similar situation, where new information has been made
available to the callback functions, in the form of extra function call
parameters. This information is also available to module callbacks
internally. For python the extra arguments functionality is used to
extend the arguments. The extra information is connection information,
exposing the client's IP address to the callback function and whether
the query failed because of rate limiting.
There are a number of bug fixes for Qname minimisation, and a number of
fixes for auth-zone functionality. And there has been a fix in the
processing of dns64 negative cache entries and a fix about fallthrough
in the view local-zone processing functionality.
Features
- unbound-control auth_zone_reload _zone_ option rereads the zonefile.
- unbound-control auth_zone_transfer _zone_ option starts the probe
sequence for a master to transfer the zone from and transfers when
a new zone version is available.
- num.queries.tls counter for queries over TLS.
- log port number with err_addr logs.
- dns64-ignore-aaaa: config option to list domain names for which the
existing AAAA is ignored and dns64 processing is used on the A
record.
- Fix #4112: Fix that unbound-anchor -f /etc/resolv.conf will not pass
if DNSSEC is not enabled. New option -R allows fallback from
resolv.conf to direct queries.
- Note RFC8162 support. SMIMEA record type can be read in by the
zone record parser.
- Patches from Jim Hague (Sinodun) for EDNS KeepAlive.
- Add config tcp-idle-timeout (default 30s). This applies to
client connections only; the timeout on TCP connections upstream
is unaffected.
- Add edns-tcp-keepalive and edns-tcp-keepalive timeout options
and implement option in client responses.
- Add delay parameter to streamtcp, -d secs.
To be used when testing idle timeout.
- Expose if a query (or a subquery) was ratelimited (not src IP
ratelimiting) to libunbound under 'ub_result.was_ratelimited'.
This also introduces a change to 'ub_event_callback_type' in
libunbound/unbound-event.h.
- Patch to implement tcp-connection-limit from Jim Hague (Sinodun).
This limits the number of simultaneous TCP client connections
from a nominated netblock.
- Fix #4142: unbound.service.in: improvements and fixes.
Add unit dependency ordering (based on systemd-resolved).
Add 'CAP_SYS_RESOURCE' to 'CapabilityBoundingSet' (fixes warnings
about missing privileges during startup). Add 'AF_INET6' to
'RestrictAddressFamilies' (without it IPV6 can't work). From
Guido Shanahan.
- unbound-checkconf checks if modules exist and prints if they are
not compiled in the name of the wrong module.
- Patch for stub-no-cache and forward-no-cache options that disable
caching for the contents of that stub or forward, for when you
want immediate changes visible, from Bjoern A. Zeeb.
- Upgraded crosscompile script to include libunbound DLL in the
zipfile.
- Set libunbound to increase current, because the libunbound change
to the event callback function signature. That needs programs,
that use it, to recompile against the new header definition.
- log-servfail: yes prints log lines that say why queries are
returning SERVFAIL to clients.
- log-local-actions: yes option for unbound.conf that logs all the
local zone actions, a patch from Saksham Manchanda (Secure64).
- #4146: num.query.subnet and num.query.subnet_cache counters.
- #4140: Expose repinfo (comm_reply) to the inplace_callbacks. This
gives access to reply information for the client's communication
point when the callback is called before the mesh state (modules).
Changes to C and Python's inplace_callback signatures were also
necessary.
- Set defaults to yes for a number of options to increase speed and
resilience of the server. The so-reuseport, harden-below-nxdomain,
and minimal-responses options are enabled by default. They used
to be disabled by default, waiting to make sure they worked. They
are enabled by default now, and can be disabled explicitly by
setting them to "no" in the unbound.conf config file. The reuseport
and minimal options increases speed of the server, and should be
otherwise harmless. The harden-below-nxdomain option works well
together with the recently default enabled qname minimisation, this
causes more fetches to use information from the cache.
- Added serve-expired-ttl and serve-expired-ttl-reset options.

configuration.
- #4108: systemd reload hang fix.

is too cryptic.
- Fix #4130: print text describing -dd and unbound-checkconf on
config file read error at startup, the errors may have been moved
away by the startup process.
- Fix #4131: for solaris, error YY_CURRENT_BUFFER undeclared.
- Fix use-systemd readiness signalling, only when use-systemd is yes
and not in signal handler.
