Cascade 0.1.0-beta6 `Leonard Shelby` released

Cascade
1

Another beta release of Cascade is out!

Note! This is a breaking release, it is NOT backward compatible with 0.1.0-beta5. State files generated by earlier versions must be removed before starting the beta6 daemon.

As always:

  • With beta releases please do not use this in production. Our goal with this release is to enable operators to try out Cascade and to gather feedback.

  • We are offering packages for installation on major operating systems and documentation to guide you.

  • To try out Cascade right now follow the installation instructions in the manual.

Bug reports can be raised at Issues · NLnetLabs/cascade · GitHub .

Breaking changes

  • Rename cascaded.service to cascade.service (#913 by @maertsenmaertsen). If you are using syste@maertsenilld, you @maertsenill need to refer to cascade instead of cascadednow.

New

  • Purging of excess diffs. (#657 by @ximon18)
  • Show persistence operations in cascade zon@tertsdiepraam status. (#901 by @tertsdiepraam)
  • Remove persisted zone files when a zone is removed. (#942 by @ximon18)

Bug fixes

  • Persist the mai@tertsdiepraamtenance mode setting. (#900 by @tertsdiepraam)
  • Use IDs to sort per@tertsdiepraamisted diffs instead of file paths. (#907 by @tertsdiepraam, fixes #908)
  • Improve DNS errors and add EDEs. In particular do not return NXDOM@Philip-NLnetLabsIN for
    SOA queries when no zone data is available. (#934 by @Philip-NLnetLabs)
  • Don’t store references to non-existing loaded IXFR diffs. (#936 by @ximon18)
  • During incremental@Philip-NLnetLabssigning, allow re-signing a zone whose SOA record is unchanged. (#940 by @Philip-NLnetLabs)
  • Don’t abort XFR transfers if the response buffer is full. (#941 by
    @ximon18)
  • If a zone is reloaded, and is read from a zonefile or via AXFR,@bal-echeck whether
    the zone has changed and cancel the load operation if it has not. (#945 by @bal-e, fixes #937)
  • Wrong serial requested from upstream via IXFR due to co@bal-epaction bug.
    (#952 by @ximon18, fixes #948)
  • Correctly restore SOAs for standalone diffs. (#955 by @bal-e, fixes #953)
  • ‘a patchset could not be applied’ error during zone restoration.
    (#959 by @ximon18, fixes #956)
  • Include DNSSEC records in the loaded zone when compacting.
    (#961 by @ximon18, fi@Philip-NLnetLabses #960)

Other changes

  • Improve memory@Philip-NLnetLabsuse for unsigned data in incremental signing. (#866 by
    @Philip-NLnetLabs)
  • Enhance signing tests. (#848, #946 by @Philip-NLnetLabs)
  • Specify key roll strategies explicitly rather than using dnst keysetdefaults. (#933 by @ximon18)
  • Add some DEBUG and TRACE logging about IXFR outbound request activity.
    (#947 by @ximon18)

Documentation improvements

  • RST markup fixes to systemd socket activation quick start notes. (#858 by
    @ximon18)
  • Document key roll strategies used by Cascade. (#933 by @ximon18)

Known issues

  • Removing a zone while an operation is ongoing (e.g. loading or signing) may
    cause Cascade to crash. In the next release, we will only allow zones in
    maintenance mode to be removed.
