							|  |  |  | CoreDNS-005 has been [released](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v005)! | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins, where each plugin implements a DNS feature. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | # What is New
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | # Core
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | A way to configure (external) plugin was added. Edit `plugin.cfg` and do a `go generate && go | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | build` and your plugin has been added. This allows for out-of-tree plugin to be easily | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | added. Documentation can be found in | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | [plugin.cfg](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin.cfg). | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ## Plugin improvements
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### New
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *erratic*: a new plugin that can drop queries, limited in the current functionality, but useful for testing. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *trace*: a new plugin that implements OpenTracing-based tracing using Zipkin. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### Improvements/changes
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *proxy*: fix a bug when a connection hangs and never gets release (#467) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *proxy*: Fold *httpproxy* into it, which is now a normal proxy with a special `protocol`. For | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2020-01-28 11:13:11 +00:00
										 |  |  |   Monitoring an extra label was added: `proxy_proto` that shows the protocol used (`dns` or `https_google`). | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2019-03-03 14:43:09 +00:00
										 |  |  |   See the [proxy README.md](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin/proxy/README.md) for details. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *httpproxy*: removed because functionality is moved to *proxy*. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *kubernetes*: Now implements the full | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   [Kubernetes DNS Specification](https://github.com/kubernetes/dns/blob/master/docs/specification.md), | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   including regular and headless services, endpoint hostnames, A, SRV, and PTR records. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *kubernetes*: Implements the `pod` type for requests in both a Kube-DNS compatible mode | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   (`insecure`) and a mode which validates that the IP in question belongs to a pod in the specified | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   namespace (`verified`) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *kubernetes*: Simplified the configuration of reverse zones. Instead of listing the zones in the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   zone list, you can just add a list of CIDRs using the `cidrs` option. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * *rewrite*: allow rewriting more bits of the incoming packet. This required some backward | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2020-01-28 11:13:11 +00:00
										 |  |  |   *incompatible* changes, e.g. a new **FIELD** keyword is now required. See the | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2019-03-03 14:43:09 +00:00
										 |  |  |   [rewrite README.md](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin/rewrite/README.md) for details. |
