We are pleased to announce the release of CoreDNS-1.0.5! This release has bug fixes, documentation fixes, polish and new plugins.

Core

Add ability to really compile out the default plugins.

Plugins

• A new plugin route53 was added that enables serving zone data from AWS route53, see the documentation.

• A new plugin on was added. This is an external Caddy plugin, that is now also available (by default) for CoreDNS; it allows you to run commands when an event is generated.

• cache doesn’t apply a 5s minimum TTL anymore. It fixes prefetching and correctly sets the metrics for cache hits and misses.

• dnssec fixes handing out expired signatures after 8 days and properly filters out the qtype in the NSEC bitmap for NXDOMAIN responses.

• log adds message ID {>id} to the default logging.

• health has gotten a lameduck option that will nack health, but will keep the server running for a configurable duration when CoreDNS is being shut down. If metrics are enabled health exports a metric that curls the local endpoint and exports the duration. Useful for getting a sense of overloadedness of the process.

• rewrite can now rewrite answers for name regex matches. This prevents DNS clients from ignoring the answers due to a mismatch with the original question.

• secondary saw a bunch of fixes.
