New release: dnscontrol v4.8.1

[Tom Limoncelli]

v4.8.1

Repository: StackExchange/dnscontrol · Tag: v4.8.1 · Commit: 858c902 · Released by: github-actions[bot]

The first release of 2024 is packed with features! 3 new and 1 rewritten providers (!!!), improved support for unrecognized DNS records, better TXT handling and a TON of bug fixes and documentation updates.

• Three New Providers! Dynadot (thanks, @e-im!), Realtime Register (thanks, @PJEilers!), and Bunny DNS (thanks, @ppmathis!)
• GCLOUD rewrite: rewritten using diff2.ByRecordSet. It's about 60 lines shorter and 600% more readable (@tlimoncelli)
• Unrecognized DNS record types are less likely to crash DNSControl: Anyone migrating a DNS domain will be happy to know that unknown DNS record types no longer crash get-zones. Providers that use PopulateFromString() are less likely to crash too (@tlimoncelli)
• The CAA_BUILDER helper now supports issue_critical and issuewild_critical (@llange)
• TXT records are handled more accurately in GCORE, DNSIMPLE, and TRANSIP (@xddxdd, @@weppos, @cafferata)
• AXFRDDNS can now have different servers for AXFR and DDNS (@midnightveil)

Meta issues:

• dnscontrol version now output is simplified, enabling repeatable builds (@cafferata)
• The integration tests now clear the DNZ zone before each group of tests instead of after. This leaves the records of the last test in place (@tlimoncelli)
• Many improvements to how we use GoReleaser (@cafferata)
• Tons of Doc fixes! (@cafferata, @llange and @case)

NOTE: v4.8.0 was skipped because that version was used to test a CI/CD change.

Thanks to everyone for contributing! This is a community-driven project. We couldn't do it without your support!
