Full Changelog: 1.7.0...1.8.0

1.7.0

This is a small release without huge changes.

Improvements

• Added .NET 6 target (and some .NET 6+ specific code).
• Made DnsDatagramReader public. That was requested a few times now, e.g.: #75

Bugfixes:

• fixes #166 - Stackoverflow error after millions of lookups

1.6.1

Bugfixes

• See #162. Fixed errors with the windows registry nuget, which is used in just an edge case scenario at startup, causing all kinds of problems 😑

1.6.0

New / Change

In 1.5, the DNS response ID validation was lifted to just log warnings.
This mechanic has been reverted to throw an error but with a bit better handling and retrying the request thanks to @JamesKovacs. See #140

Bug Fixes

• Until this version, UDP sockets were reused in favor of performance. That did cause some issues though and all kind of pooling has been removed. See #132
• See #136, removed a case where the response was null and might have caused some errors in some cases
• When run in Azure Functions, the Name Resolution policy feature we added in 1.5 threw a Platform not Supported exception, although we did check for IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows). Seems that was not enough. See #133

1.5.0

New

• Several changes to name server auto resolution
  see #122 for the announcement
  • DnsClient now also respects NRPT policies (a Windows only feature), see #114 and thanks to @SteveSyfuhs
  • Added DNS suffix #113
• Added NAPTR records support, thanks to @rj2Skipper see #88
• Also added more DNS Sec records: NSec3, NSec3Param see #119

Bugfixes

• Query cancellation was slightly reworked, see #121 #124, thanks to @chkimes

Details: See https://github.com/MichaCo/DnsClient.NET/milestone/9?closed=1

1.4.0

New

• Support for parsing TLSA, RRSig, DS, NSEC, DnsKey and SPF records (PRs #71, #86, #87)
• New configuration option to allow the client to cache failed responses (this is opt-in, default is no cache), see #80
• Updated System.Buffers reference to the latest version (from 4.4.0 to 4.5.1)
• The request and response Id check is now a warning log instead of a hard error, see #74
  (still investigating if there is an actual issue under Linux with async socket usage....)

Bugfixes

• Added validation for using ANY address as a nameserver, see #74, #83
• Fixing incorrect product assembly version in released NuGet, see #92

1.3.2

Fixes

• #72 Issue with new versions of Consul
• #69 and other spelling mistakes

1.3.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed #67.
  The feature added in 1.3.0, reacting to network changes, if name-server auto discovery is enabled, can cause memory issues. Especially if the LookupClient isn't used as singleton. The feature has been removed.

1.3.0

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug with non-empty OPT records, see #51 and #55.
  This should fix all those parser errors which were reported by different users using the mongodb C# driver on certain Azure clusters!
• Fixed one native path in NameServer.ResolveNameServersNative which did not filter site local addresses properly.

New Features

• New Configuration API which will replace the property setters on the LookupClient in a future version. The current properties are marked obsolete for now.
  See #33 for more details.
• Added maximum cache duration setting (#48)
• Auto detect network name server changes (#66). If LookupClient has to discover the NameServers automatically, it now will try to react to changes in the network configuration (especially useful in long running services)
• New setting ContinueOnEmptyResponse (#64).
  This is enabled per default and instructs LookupClient to query all configured DNS server until the question is answered or no more servers are available.
• Improved EDNS handling (#61, #62).
  New settings to disable or configure the EDNS behavior of LookupClient
• Logging and Tracing and better error handling in general (#60)
• Changed the behavior when LookupClient gets a bad truncated responses, it now tries to re-run the query over TCP if it detects such cases - see #52
• Changed the result of the ResolveService APIs to include weight and order of the SRV records (#34)

Other Changes

• Added a lot more unit tests and also tests to validate backward compatibility down to the 1.1.0 API
• Changed the caching mechanism to cache only answered responses.
• Changed caching to not cache by server

1.2.0

New Features

• Added support for SSHFP resource records, see #30, thanks @xudonax!
• The TTL of cached results will now show the correct (actual) time left in cache. There is a new property, InitialTimeToLive, which stores the original TTL value.

Changes

• The rules for domain names have been changed in a way that DnsClient will behave more relaxed and not so strict anymore, see #31.
• The name server resolving mechanism to fallback to a native implementation has been re-added. As .NET Core still has issues on e.g. Linux...

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with very large TCP responses which are split into multiple responses by the server, see #32.
