Upgrading
*********
This section summarizes steps required when upgrading to newer Knot Resolver versions.
We advise users to also read :ref:`release_notes` for respective versions.
Section *Module changes* is relevant only for users who develop or use third-party modules.
Upcoming changes
================
Following section provides information about selected changes in not-yet-released versions.
We advise users to prepare for these changes sooner rather than later to make it easier to upgrade to
newer versions when they are released.
* Command line option ``--forks`` (``-f``) `is deprecated and will be eventually removed
<https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/issues/631>`_.
Preferred way to manage :ref:`systemd-multiple-instances` is to use a process manager,
e.g. systemd_ or supervisord_.
* Function :func:`verbose` is deprecated and will be eventually removed.
Prefered way to change logging level is use to :func:`log_level`.
.. _`systemd`: https://systemd.io/
.. _`supervisord`: http://supervisord.org/
5.4 to 5.5
==========
Packagers & Developers
----------------------
* Knot DNS >= 3.0.2 is required.
Module API changes
------------------
* Function `cache.zone_import` was removed;
you can use `ffi.C.zi_zone_import` instead (different API).
* When using :ref:`proxyv2`, the meaning of ``qsource.flags`` and ``qsource.comm_flags``
in :c:member:`kr_request` changes so that ``flags`` describes the original client
communicating with the proxy, while ``comm_flags`` describes the proxy communicating
with the resolver. When there is no proxy, ``flags`` and ``comm_flags`` are the same.
5.3 to 5.4
==========
Configuration file
------------------
* ``kind='doh'`` in :func:`net.listen` was renamed to ``kind='doh_legacy'``. It is recommended to switch to the new DoH implementation with ``kind='doh2'``.
* :func:`verbose` has been deprecated. In case you want to change logging level,
there is new function :func:`log_level`.
Packagers & Developers
----------------------
* meson option ``verbose_log`` was removed.
Module changes
--------------
* lua function ``warn()`` was removed, use ``log_warn()`` instead. The new function takes a log group number as the first argument.
* C functions ``kr_log_req()`` and ``kr_log_q()`` were replaced by ``kr_log_req1()`` and ``kr_log_q1()`` respectively. The new function have slightly different API.
5.2 to 5.3
==========
Configuration file
------------------
* Module ``dnstap``: option ``log_responses`` has been moved inside a new ``client`` section. Refer to the configuration example in :ref:`mod-dnstap`.
Packagers & Developers
----------------------
* Knot DNS >= 2.9 is required.
5.1 to 5.2
==========
Users
-----
* DoH over HTTP/1 and unencrypted transports is still available in
:ref:`legacy http module <mod-http-doh>` (``kind='doh'``).
This module will not receive receive any more bugfixes and will be eventually removed.
* Users of :ref:`control-sockets` API need to terminate each command sent to resolver with newline
character (ASCII ``\n``). Correct usage: ``cache.stats()\n``.
Newline terminated commands are accepted by all resolver versions >= 1.0.0.
* `DNS Flag Day 2020 <https://www.dnsflagday.net/2020/>`_ is now effective and Knot Resolver uses
maximum size of UDP answer to 1232 bytes. Please double-check your firewall,
it has to allow DNS traffic on UDP and **also TCP** port 53.
* Human readable output in interactive mode and from :ref:`control-sockets` was improved and
as consequence slightly changed its format. Users who need machine readable output for scripts
should use Lua function ``tojson()`` to convert Lua values into standard JSON format instead
of attempting to parse the human readable output.
For example API call ``tojson(cache.stats())\n`` will return JSON string with ``cache.stats()``
results represented as dictionary.
Function ``tojson()`` is available in all resolver versions >= 1.0.0.
Configuration file
------------------
* Statistics exporter :ref:`mod-graphite` now uses default prefix which combines
:func:`hostname()` and :envvar:`worker.id` instead of bare :func:`hostname()`.
This prevents :ref:`systemd-multiple-instances` from sending
conflicting statistics to server. In case you want to continue in previous time series you
can manually set the old values using option ``prefix``
in :ref:`Graphite configuration <mod-graphite>`.
Beware that non-default values require careful
:ref:`instance-specific-configuration` to avoid conflicting names.
* Lua variable :envvar:`worker.id` is now a string with either Systemd instance name or PID
(instead of number). If your custom configuration uses :envvar:`worker.id` value please
check your scripts.
Module changes
--------------
* Reply packet :c:type:`kr_request.answer`
`is not allocated <https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/merge_requests/985>`_
immediately when the request comes.
See the new :c:func:`kr_request_ensure_answer` function,
wrapped for lua as ``req:ensure_answer()``.
5.0 to 5.1
==========
Module changes
--------------
* Modules which use :c:type:`kr_request.trace_log` handler need update to modified handler API. Example migration is `modules/watchdog/watchdog.lua <https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/merge_requests/957/diffs#6831501329bbf9e494048fe269c6b02944fc227c>`_.
* Modules which were using logger :c:func:`kr_log_qverbose_impl` need migration to new logger :c:func:`kr_log_q`. Example migration is `modules/rebinding/rebinding.lua <https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/-/merge_requests/957/diffs#6c74dcae147221ca64286a3ed028057adb6813b9>`_.
* Modules which were using :c:func:`kr_ranked_rrarray_add` should note that on success it no longer returns exclusively zero but index into the array (non-negative). Error states are unchanged (negative).
4.x to 5.x
==========
Users
-----
* Control socket location has changed
.. csv-table::
:header: "","4.x location","5.x location"
"with systemd","``/run/knot-resolver/control@$ID``","``/run/knot-resolver/control/$ID``"
"without systemd","``$PWD/tty/$PID``","``$PWD/control/$PID``"
* ``-f`` / ``--forks`` command-line option is deprecated.
In case you just want to trigger non-interactive mode, there's new ``-n`` / ``--noninteractive``.
This forking style `was not ergonomic <https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/issues/529>`_;
with independent kresd processes you can better utilize a process manager (e.g. systemd).
Configuration file
------------------
* Network interface are now configured in ``kresd.conf`` with
:func:`net.listen` instead of systemd sockets (`#485
<https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/issues/485>`_). See
the following examples.
.. tip:: You can find suggested network interface settings based on your
previous systemd socket configuration in
``/var/lib/knot-resolver/.upgrade-4-to-5/kresd.conf.net`` which is created
during the package update to version 5.x.
.. csv-table::
:header: "4.x - systemd socket file", "5.x - kresd.conf"
"kresd.socket
| [Socket]
| ListenDatagram=127.0.0.1:53
| ListenStream=127.0.0.1:53","| ``net.listen('127.0.0.1', 53, { kind = 'dns' })``"
"kresd.socket
| [Socket]
| FreeBind=true
| BindIPv6Only=both
| ListenDatagram=[::1]:53
| ListenStream=[::1]:53
"," | ``net.listen('127.0.0.1', 53, { kind = 'dns', freebind = true })``
| ``net.listen('::1', 53, { kind = 'dns', freebind = true })``"
"kresd-tls.socket
| [Socket]
| ListenStream=127.0.0.1:853","| ``net.listen('127.0.0.1', 853, { kind = 'tls' })``"
"kresd-doh.socket
| [Socket]
| ListenStream=127.0.0.1:443","| ``net.listen('127.0.0.1', 443, { kind = 'doh' })``"
"kresd-webmgmt.socket
| [Socket]
| ListenStream=127.0.0.1:8453","| ``net.listen('127.0.0.1', 8453, { kind = 'webmgmt' })``"
* :func:`net.listen` throws an error if it fails to bind. Use ``freebind=true`` option
to bind to nonlocal addresses.
4.2.2 to 4.3+
=============
Module changes
--------------
* In case you wrote your own module which directly calls function
``kr_ranked_rrarray_add()``, you need to additionally call function
``kr_ranked_rrarray_finalize()`` after each batch (before changing
the added memory regions). For a specific example see `changes in dns64 module
<https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/commit/edb8ffef7fbe48befeb3f7164d38079dd0be3302#1fe36e8ac0729b279645f7237b7122b1c457a982>`_.
.. _upgrade-from-3-to-4:
4.x to 4.2.1+
=============
Users
-----
* If you have previously installed ``knot-resolver-dbgsym`` package on Debian,
please remove it and install ``knot-resolver-dbg`` instead.
3.x to 4.x
==========
Users
-----
* DNSSEC validation is now turned on by default. If you need to disable it, see
:ref:`dnssec-config`.
* ``-k/--keyfile`` and ``-K/--keyfile-ro`` daemon options were removed. If needed,
use ``trust_anchors.add_file()`` in configuration file instead.
* Configuration for :ref:`HTTP module <mod-http>` changed significantly as result of
adding :ref:`mod-http-doh` support. Please see examples below.
* In case you are using your own custom modules, move them to the new module
location. The exact location depends on your distribution. Generally, modules previously
in ``/usr/lib/kdns_modules`` should be moved to ``/usr/lib/knot-resolver/kres_modules``.
Configuration file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``trust_anchors.file``, ``trust_anchors.config()`` and ``trust_anchors.negative``
aliases were removed to avoid duplicity and confusion. Migration table:
.. csv-table::
:header: "3.x configuration", "4.x configuration"
"``trust_anchors.file = path``", "``trust_anchors.add_file(path)``"
"``trust_anchors.config(path, readonly)``", "``trust_anchors.add_file(path, readonly)``"
"``trust_anchors.negative = nta_set``", "``trust_anchors.set_insecure(nta_set)``"
* ``trust_anchors.keyfile_default`` is no longer accessible and is can be set
only at compile time. To turn off DNSSEC, use :func:`trust_anchors.remove()`.
.. csv-table::
:header: "3.x configuration", "4.x configuration"
"``trust_anchors.keyfile_default = nil``", "``trust_anchors.remove('.')``"
* Network for HTTP endpoints is now configured using same mechanism as for normal DNS endpoints,
please refer to chapter :ref:`network-configuration`. Migration table:
.. csv-table::
:header: "3.x configuration", "4.x configuration"
"``modules = { http = { host = '192.0.2.1', port = 443 }}``","see chapter :ref:`network-configuration`"
"``http.config({ host = '192.0.2.1', port = 443 })``","see chapter :ref:`network-configuration`"
"``modules = { http = { endpoints = ... }}``","see chapter :ref:`mod-http-custom-endpoint`"
"``http.config({ endpoints = ... })``","see chapter :ref:`mod-http-custom-endpoint`"
Packagers & Developers
----------------------
* Knot DNS >= 2.8 is required.
* meson >= 0.46 and ninja is required.
* meson build system is now used for compiling the project. For instructions, see
the :ref:`build`. Packagers should pay attention to section :ref:`packaging`
for information about systemd unit files and trust anchors.
* Embedding LMDB is no longer supported, lmdb is now required as an external dependency.
* Trust anchors file from upstream is installed and used as default unless you
override ``keyfile_default`` during build.
Module changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Default module location has changed from ``{libdir}/kdns_modules`` to
``{libdir}/knot-resolver/kres_modules``. Modules are now in the lua namespace
``kres_modules.*``.
* ``kr_straddr_split()`` API has changed.
* C modules defining ``*_layer`` or ``*_props`` symbols need to use a different style, but it's typically a trivial change.
Instead of exporting the corresponding symbols, the module should assign pointers to its static structures inside its ``*_init()`` function. Example migration:
`bogus_log module <https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/commit/2875a3970#9fa69cdc6ee1903dc22e3262f58996395acab364>`_.
.. _upgrade-from-2-to-3:
2.x to 3.x
==========
Users
-----
* Module :ref:`mod-hints` has option :func:`hints.use_nodata` enabled by default,
which is what most users expect. Add ``hints.use_nodata(false)`` to your config
to revert to the old behavior.
* Modules ``cookie`` and ``version`` were removed.
Please remove relevant configuration lines with ``modules.load()`` and ``modules =``
from configuration file.
* Valid configuration must open cache using ``cache.open()`` or ``cache.size =``
before executing cache operations like ``cache.clear()``.
(Older versions were silently ignoring such cache operations.)
Packagers & Developers
----------------------
* Knot DNS >= 2.7.2 is required.
Module changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* API for Lua modules was refactored, please see :ref:`significant-lua-changes`.
* New layer was added: ``answer_finalize``.
* ``kr_request`` keeps ``::qsource.packet`` beyond the ``begin`` layer.
* ``kr_request::qsource.tcp`` renamed to ``::qsource.flags.tcp``.
* ``kr_request::has_tls`` renamed to ``::qsource.flags.tls``.
* ``kr_zonecut_add()``, ``kr_zonecut_del()`` and ``kr_nsrep_sort()`` changed
parameters slightly.
