We are pleased to announce the release of CoreDNS-1.1.3!

This release has fixes in the plugins, small core updates and experimental DNS over HTTPs support. We also announce the deprecation of a few things.

Core

Experimental DNS-over-HTTPS support was added in the server. Use https:// as the server’s scheme in the configuration.

The -log flag actually doesn’t do anything, so this is a deprecation notice that this flag will be removed in the next release.

Plugins

• metrics All in-tree plugins serve metrics with a server label.
  • cache and dnssec drop the capacity metrics
  • add a panic counter: coredns_panic_count_total
• etcd supports A and AAAA record under the zone’s apex.
• rewrite now handles continue in response rewrites.
• forward clean ups, esp when shutting it down.
• cache adds some optimization.
• kubernetes adds option to ignore services without ready endpoints.
• Deprecation notice for the reverse plugin.
• Deprecation notice for the https_google protocol in proxy.
