Hi,
Unbound 1.12.0rc1 pre-release is available:
https://nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/unbound/unbound-1.12.0rc1.tar.gz

This release contains the DNS Flag Day 2020 changes. This sets the
default EDNS buffer size to 1232, that should reduce fragmentation.
https://dnsflagday.net/2020/
There is inclusive language in the configuration. There is caps-exempt,
ipsecmod-allow and primary server options for auth-zones. The older
terms are accepted to keep configuration working.
DNS-over-HTTPS is supported in this release. The DoH is enabled when
Unbound is compiled with the nghttp2 library, with configure
--with-libnghttp2. Then have an interface on the https port, that can
be configured with the https-port option. Also have a cert and key
available with the tls-service-key and tls-service-pem options. Further
settings can be configured for the http-endpoint, http-max-streams,
http-query-buffer-size, http-response-buffer-size and http-nodelay
options. The max streams sets the maximum concurrent streams, the
buffer size options the number of bytes in buffers, and the nodelay
option can turn on TCP_NODELAY for DNS-over-HTTPS service. In the
statistics the memory used is reported in mem.http.query_buffer and
mem.http.response_buffer. The number of queries is reported in
num.query.https, they are also included in the tcp and tls counts
because https uses TLS and TCP.
The DLV options and code to handle DLV lookups have been removed from
the code base. The DLV repository is empty nowadays, it has been
decommissioned.
There is a new feature where it is possible to use interface names to
bind to the IP addresses on that interface. It pulls in the addresses
at the start of the server, if the addresses change, use the existing
freebind and other socket options to register for addresses before they
appear, or the interface-automatic option that copies them from queries
to answers with ancillary data.
There is a new option for the edns-tag draft specification. It can be
enabled if you need the tentative implementation to add those tags to
outgoing messages.
Features
- DNS Flag Day 2020: change edns-buffer-size default to 1232.
- Merge PR #255: DNS-over-HTTPS support.
- Use inclusive language in configuration
- Merge PR #284 and Fix #246: Remove DLV entirely from Unbound.
The DLV has been decommisioned and in unbound 1.5.4, in 2015, there
was advise to stop using it. The current code base does not contain
DLV code any more. The use of dlv options displays a warning.
- Similar to NSD PR#113, implement that interface names can be used,
eg. something like interface: eth0 is resolved at server start and
uses the IP addresses for that named interface.
- Merge PR #272: Add EDNS client tag functionality.
- Add edns-client-tag-opcode option

Lönnemark
- Merge PR #268, draft-ietf-dnsop-serve-stale-10 has become RFC 8767 on
March 2020, by and0x000.
- Fix doxygen comment for no ssl for tls session ticket key callback
routine.
- Fix mini_event.h on OpenBSD cannot find fd_set.

- Fix that dnstap reconnects do not spam the log with the repeated
attempts. Attempts on the timer are only logged on high verbosity,
if they produce a connection failure error.
