We are very pleased to announce the availability of dnsdist 1.2.1, fixing several issues that were found in 1.2.0:

  • #5647: Make dnsdist dynamic truncate do right thing on TCP/IP
  • #5686: Add missing QPSAction
  • #5847: Don’t create a Remote Logger in client mode
  • #5858: Use libsodium’s CFLAGS, we might need them to find the includes
  • #6012: Keep the TCP connection open on cache hit, generated answers
  • #6041: Add the missing <sys/time.h> include to mplexer.hh for struct timeval
  • #6043: Sort the servers based on their ‘order’ after it has been set
  • #6073: Quiet unused variable warning on macOS (Chris Hofstaedtler)
  • #6094: Fix the outstanding counter when an exception is raised
  • #6164: Do not connect the snmpAgent from a dnsdist client

One new feature has also been added by Dan McCombs, allowing to work around an issue when dnsdist is compiled with IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT enabled but run on a kernel that does not support it:

  • #5880: Add configuration option to disable IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT

Finally, the handling of bracketed IPv6 addresses without port has been improved by Chris Hofstaedtler:

  • #6057: Handle bracketed IPv6 addresses without ports

Please see the dnsdist website for the more complete changelog and the current documentation.
