+Knot Resolver 5.6.0 (2023-01-26)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------
+- avoid excessive TCP reconnections in some cases (!1380)
+ For example, a DNS server that just closes connections without answer
+ could cause lots of work for the resolver (and itself, too).
+ The number of connections could be up to around 100 per client's query.
+
+ We thank Xiang Li from NISL Lab, Tsinghua University,
+ and Xuesong Bai and Qifan Zhang from DSP Lab, UCI.
+

+
+New features
+------------
+- cache server unavailability to prevent flooding unreachable servers

+- stats: remove tracking of expiring records (predict uses another way)
+- systemd: re-use a single kresd.socket and kresd-tls.socket
+- ta_sentinel: implement protocol draft-ietf-dnsop-kskroll-sentinel-01

+================================
+
+Incompatible changes
+--------------------
+- systemd: change unit files to allow running multiple instances,
+ deployments with single instance now must use `kresd@1.service`
+ instead of `kresd.service`; see kresd.systemd(7) for details
+- systemd: the directory for cache is now /var/cache/knot-resolver
+- unify default directory and user to `knot-resolver`
+- directory with trust anchor file specified by -k option must be writeable
+- policy module is now loaded by default to enforce RFC 6761;
+ see documentation for policy.PASS if you use locally-served DNS zones
+- drop support for alternative cache backends memcached, redis,
+ and for Lua bindings for some specific cache operations
+- REORDER_RR option is not implemented (temporarily)
+
+New features
+------------
+- aggressive caching of validated records (RFC 8198) for NSEC zones;
+ thanks to ICANN for sponsoring this work.
+- forwarding over TLS, authenticated by SPKI pin or certificate.
+ policy.TLS_FORWARD pipelines queries out-of-order over shared TLS connection
+ Beware: Some resolvers do not support out-of-order query processing.
+ TLS forwarding to such resolvers will lead to slower resolution or failures.
+- trust anchors: you may specify a read-only file via -K or --keyfile-ro
+- trust anchors: at build-time you may set KEYFILE_DEFAULT (read-only)
+- ta_sentinel module implements draft ietf-dnsop-kskroll-sentinel-00,
+ enabled by default

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- memcached: fix fallout from module rename in 1.5.1

+- predict module: various fixes (!399)
+
+Improvements
+------------

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- fix loading modules on Darwin
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- new module ta_signal_query supporting Signaling Trust Anchor Knowledge
+ using Keytag Query (RFC 8145 section 5); it is enabled by default
+- attempt validation for more records but require it for fewer of them
+ (e.g. avoids SERVFAIL when server adds extra records but omits RRSIGs)
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.99.1-alpha (2017-10-26)
+=======================================
+This is an experimental release meant for testing aggressive caching.
+It contains some regressions and might (theoretically) be even vulnerable.
+The current focus is to minimize queries into the root zone.
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- negative answers from validated NSEC (NXDOMAIN, NODATA)
+- verbose log is very chatty around cache operations (maybe too much)
+
+Regressions
+-----------
+- dropped support for alternative cache backends
+ and for some specific cache operations
+- caching doesn't yet work for various cases:
+ * negative answers without NSEC (i.e. with NSEC3 or insecure)
+ * +cd queries (needs other internal changes)
+ * positive wildcard answers
+- spurious SERVFAIL on specific combinations of cached records, printing:
+ <= bad keys, broken trust chain
+- make check
+- a few Deckard tests are broken, probably due to some problems above
+- also unknown ones?
+
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.4.0 (2017-09-22)
+================================
+
+Incompatible changes
+--------------------
+- lua: query flag-sets are no longer represented as plain integers.
+ kres.query.* no longer works, and kr_query_t lost trivial methods
+ 'hasflag' and 'resolved'.
+ You can instead write code like qry.flags.NO_0X20 = true.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- fix exiting one of multiple forks (#150)
+- cache: change the way of using LMDB transactions. That in particular
+ fixes some cases of using too much space with multiple kresd forks (#240).
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- policy.suffix: update the aho-corasick code (#200)
+- root hints are now loaded from a zonefile; exposed as hints.root_file().
+ You can override the path by defining ROOTHINTS during compilation.
+- policy.FORWARD: work around resolvers adding unsigned NS records (#248)
+- reduce unneeded records previously put into authority in wildcarded answers
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.3.3 (2017-08-09)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------
+- Fix a critical DNSSEC flaw. Signatures might be accepted as valid
+ even if the signed data was not in bailiwick of the DNSKEY used to
+ sign it, assuming the trust chain to that DNSKEY was valid.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- iterate: skip RRSIGs with bad label count instead of immediate SERVFAIL
+- utils: fix possible incorrect seeding of the random generator
+- modules/http: fix compatibility with the Prometheus text format
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- policy: implement remaining special-use domain names from RFC6761 (#205),
+ and make these rules apply only if no other non-chain rule applies
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.3.2 (2017-07-28)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------
+- fix possible opportunities to use insecure data from cache as keys

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- daemon: check existence of config file even if rundir isn't specified
+- policy.FORWARD and STUB: use RTT tracking to choose servers (#125, #208)
+- dns64: fix CNAME problems (#203) It still won't work with policy.STUB.
+- hints: better interpretation of hosts-like files (#204)
+ also, error out if a bad entry is encountered in the file
+- dnssec: handle unknown DNSKEY/DS algorithms (#210)
+- predict: fix the module, broken since 1.2.0 (#154)
+
+Improvements
+------------

+- policy.FORWARD: fix some cases of CNAMEs obstructing search for zone cuts
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.3.0 (2017-06-13)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------
+- Refactor handling of AD flag and security status of resource records.
+ In some cases it was possible for secure domains to get cached as
+ insecure, even for a TLD, leading to disabled validation.
+ It also fixes answering with non-authoritative data about nameservers.
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- major feature: support for forwarding with validation (#112).
+ The old policy.FORWARD action now does that; the previous non-validating
+ mode is still available as policy.STUB except that also uses caching (#122).
+- command line: specify ports via @ but still support # for compatibility
+- policy: recognize 100.64.0.0/10 as local addresses
+- layer/iterate: *do* retry repeatedly if REFUSED, as we can't yet easily
+ retry with other NSs while avoiding retrying with those who REFUSED
+- modules: allow changing the directory where modules are found,
+ and do not search the default library path anymore.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- validate: fix insufficient caching for some cases (relatively rare)
+- avoid putting "duplicate" record-sets into the answer (#198)
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.2.6 (2017-04-24)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------
+- dnssec: don't set AD flag for NODATA answers if wildcard non-existence
+ is not guaranteed due to opt-out in NSEC3
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- layer/iterate: don't retry repeatedly if REFUSED
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- lib/nsrep: revert some changes to NS reputation tracking that caused
+ severe problems to some users of 1.2.5 (#178 and #179)
+- dnssec: fix verification of wildcarded non-singleton RRsets
+- dnssec: allow wildcards located directly under the root
+- layer/rrcache: avoid putting answer records into queries in some cases
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.2.5 (2017-04-05)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------

+ NSEC3 (#169)
+- layer/validate: check if NSEC3 records in wildcard expansion proof
+ has an opt-out
+- dnssec/nsec: missed wildcard no-data answers validation has been
+ implemented
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- modules/dnstap: a DNSTAP support module
+ (Contributed by Vicky Shrestha)
+- modules/workarounds: a module adding workarounds for known
+ DNS protocol violators
+- layer/iterate: fix logging of glue addresses

+- lib/resolve: avoid unnecessary DS queries
+- lib/nsrep: don't treat servers with NOIP4 + NOIP6 flags as timed out
+- layer/iterate: During packet classification (answer vs. referral)
+ don't analyze AUTHORITY section in authoritative answer if ANSWER
+ section contains records that have been requested
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.2.4 (2017-03-09)
+================================
+
+Security
+--------
+- Knot Resolver 1.2.0 and higher could return AD flag for insecure
+ answer if the daemon received answer with invalid RRSIG several
+ times in a row.
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- modules/policy: allow QTRACE policy to be chained with other
+ policies
+- hints.add_hosts(path): a new property
+- module: document the API and simplify the code
+- policy.MIRROR: support IPv6 link-local addresses
+- policy.FORWARD: support IPv6 link-local addresses
+- add net.outgoing_{v4,v6} to allow specifying address to use for
+ connections
+
+Bugfixes
+--------

+- layer/validate: fix duplicate records in AUTHORITY section in case
+ of WC expansion proof
+- lua: do *not* truncate cache size to unsigned
+- forwarding mode: correctly forward +cd flag
+- fix a potential memory leak
+- don't treat answers that contain DS non-existence proof as insecure

+- layer/iterate: some additional processing for referrals
+- lib/resolve: zonecut fetching error was fixed
+
+

+================================
+
+Bugfixes:
+---------
+- Fix -k argument processing to avoid out-of-bounds memory accesses
+- lib/resolve: fix zonecut fetching for explicit DS queries
+- hints: more NULL checks
+- Fix TA bootstrapping for multiple TAs in the IANA XML file
+
+Testing:
+--------
+- Update tests to run tests with and without QNAME minimization
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.2.1 (2017-02-01)
+====================================
+
+Security:
+---------
+- Under certain conditions, a cached negative answer from a CD query
+ would be reused to construct response for non-CD queries, resulting
+ in Insecure status instead of Bogus. Only 1.2.0 release was affected.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+- Update the typo in the documentation: The query trace policy is
+ named policy.QTRACE (and not policy.TRACE)
+
+Bugfixes:
+---------
+- lua: make the map command check its arguments
+
+
+Knot Resolver 1.2.0 (2017-01-24)
+====================================
+
+Security:
+---------
+- In a policy.FORWARD() mode, the AD flag was being always set by mistake.
+ It is now cleared, as the policy.FORWARD() doesn't do DNSSEC validation yet.
+
+Improvements:
+-------------
+- The DNSSEC Validation has been refactored, fixing many resolving
+ failures.
+- Add module `version` that checks for updates and CVEs periodically.
+- Support RFC7830: EDNS(0) padding in responses over TLS.
+- Support CD flag on incoming requests.
+- hints module: previously /etc/hosts was loaded by default, but not anymore.

+- Configurable cache.{min,max}_ttl option, with max_ttl defaulting to 6 days.
+- Option to reorder RRs in the response.
+- New policy.QTRACE policy to print packet contents
+
+Bugfixes:
+---------
+- Trust Anchor configuration is now more robust.
+- Correctly answer NOTIMPL for meta-types and non-IN RR classes.
+- Free TCP buffer on cancelled connection.
+- Fix crash in hints module on empty hints file, and fix non-lowercase hints.
+
+Miscellaneous:
+--------------
+- It now requires knot >= 2.3.1 to link successfully.
+- The API+ABI for modules changed slightly.
+- New LRU implementation.
+
