We are pleased to announce the [release](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.0.2) of CoreDNS-1.0.2!
This release can be summerized as "help external plugin developers" as most changes are geared
towards exposing CoreDNS functionality to make this as easy as possible. Is also a fairly small
release.

## Core

Expose the directives list, so that external plugins can be easily added without mucking with
CoreDNS code, see the [pull request](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/pull/1315) for details.

Fix crash when there are no handlers that can actually serve queries, i.e. a Corefile with only
*debug* and *pprof* for instance.

## Plugins

* [*metrics*](/plugins/metrics) has a New function to help external plugin developers.
* [*health*](/plugins/health) plugin now checks all plugins for a `health.Healther` implementation and will export health for those plugins that do. Again helps external plugin developers.
* [*rewrite*](/plugins/rewrite) gained regular expression and substring-matching support.
