We are pleased to announce the release of CoreDNS-1.1.4!

This release has a few enhancements in the plugins, and a few (Docker) improvements.

Core

As said in the 1.1.3 Release Notes, we are making the -log command line flag a noop.

This is also a heads up that in the next release - 1.2.0 - the current etcd plugin will be replaced by a new plugin that supports etcd3, see this pull request.

The Docker image is now built using a multistage build. This means the final image is based on scratch and all architectures now have certificates in the image (not just the amd64 one).

Plugins

We are also deprecating:

• the reverse plugin has been removed, but we allow it still in the configuration.
• the google_https protocol has been a noop in the proxy plugin.

In the next release (1.2.0) this code will removed completely.

Further more:

• file now always queries local zones when trying to find a CNAME target.
• log will now always log in seconds (not micro, or milliseconds).
• forward erases expired connection after some time.
