4.2.0 - 2020-05-23

An update that's been long overdue. Several PRs with new features were merged!

A special thanks to @blofeldthefish for his willingness to help out with maintaining this role and to @RobinsOphalvens for contributing the new testing harness based on Molecule. Thanks to them, further development of this role got out of the deadlock it's been in since the previous version.

Added

• New supported platforms
  • CentOS 8 (GH-107, credit: Paulius Mazeika)
  • Debian 10 (no changes were needed)
  • FreeBSD (GH-100, credit: psa)
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (no changes were needed)
• (GH-69) Allow TTLs for individual records (credit: Stuart Knight)
• (GH-79) Added support for the SSHFP record type (credit: Romuald)
• (GH-81) Added support for the DNAME record type (credit: B. Verschueren)
• (GH-82) Added support for the NAPTR record type (credit: Aido)
• (GH-83) Added support for the $GENERATE directive (credit: Rayford Johnson)
• (GH-85) New role variable bind_other_logs (credit: Paulo E. Castro)
• (GH-87) New role variable bind_dns_keys, a list of binding keys (credit: Jérôme Avond)
• (GH-88) New role variable bind_statistics_channels (credit: Stuart Knight)
• (GH-105, GH-113) New role variable bind_query_log, with more flexibility w.r.t. query logging (credit: Romuald and Jascha Sticher)
• New keys in bind_zone_domains: create_forward_zones and create_reverse_zones. When present and set to false, they will prevent the creation of the forward or reverse zones, respectively. This results in a reverse only or forward only name server for that zone.

Changed

• Molecule is now used as testing harness (credit: Robin Ophalvens). The previous system was written before any standardised testing tools were available. It became too cumbersome to maintain, which had serious impact on the further development of this role.
• (GH-75) Refactored hash gathering to determine if zone files need to be regenerated (credit: Stuart Knight)
• (GH-89) Add missing allow-recursion parameter for bind slaves, allowing them to handle recursion correctly (credit: Lennart Weller)
• (GH-91) Ensure the directory for cached slave zones is created (credit: Otto Sabart)
• (GH-99) Use bind_group variable instead of hard-coded value (credit: Boris Momčilović)
• (GH-114,115) Fix error with scenario in conjunction with a dhcp shared secret key to provide dynamic dns updates. (credit: Fabio Rocha)

Removed

• (GH-106) Removed DNSSEC Lookaside Validation, this service has been shut down

4.1.0 - 2018-10-05

Added

• (GH-53) Add variable bind_zone_dir and bind_zone_file_mode for setting the master zone file path and mode, and bind_extra_include_files for including arbitrary configuration files into named.conf. (credit: Brad Durrow)

• (GH-67) Improved documentation with minimal slave configuration (credit: Christopher Hicks)
• Add Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 8-9 and Arch Linux to list of supported distros.

4.0.0 - 2018-05-19

Changed

• (GH-38) Only append domain to MX if it does not end with a dot (credit: Loic Dachary)

3.8.0 - 2017-07-12

This release adds support for multiple TXT entries and fixes some bugs.

Changed

• (GH-31) Fixed ipv6 reverse zone hash calculation for complete idempotency (credit: Stuart Knight)
• (GH-32, GH-33) Fix for bug where CNAMEs and Multi-IP entries weren't working (credit: Greg Cockburn)

3.7.1 - 2017-07-03

Changed

• (GH-29) Zone files are fully idempotent, so are only changed when actual content changes (credit: @Stuart Knight)

3.7.0 - 2017-06-01

Added

• (GH-10) Implement reverse IPv6 lookups
• (GH-28) Add option bind_forwarders and bind_forward_only, which allows BIND to be set up as a caching name server.

3.6.1 - 2017-06-01

Changed

• Fixed a bug with generating the reverse zone names.

3.6.0 - 2017-06-01

Changed

• (GH-25) Allow slave log file to be set with variable bind_log instead of a hard coded value (credit @kartone).
• The alignment of columns in the reverse zone file are improved

Added

• (GH-22, 23) Documentation improvements
• (GH-27) Allow dynamic updates (credit: @bverschueren)

Removed

• The custom filter plugins were removed. The functionality has since been added to Ansible's built-in filter plugins. This does require python-netaddr to be installed on the management node.

3.5.2 - 2016-09-29

Changed

• The call to named-checkconf was fixed. It had the full path to the binary, which is not the same on all distributions. (GH-20, credit @peterjanes)

3.5.1 - 2016-09-22

Changed

• The check for master/slave server is improved (GH-19, credit @josetaas)

3.5.0 - 2016-07-28

Added

• Introduced role variable bind_log, the path to the log file.
• Introduced role variable bind_zone_also_notify, a list of servers that will receive a notification when the master zone file is reloaded (GH-18, credit: Joanna Delaporte)
• Reverse zone files now handle the case with only a single host (GH-18, credit: Joanna Delaporte)

3.4.0 - 2016-05-26

Added

• (GH-16) Support for service record (SRV) lookups
• Support for text record (TXT) lookups

Changed

• Fixed Ansible 2.0 deprecation warnings
• Generating a serial is no longer considered a change
• Ensured that all role variables have a default value, e.g. empty list instead of undefined. This simplifies template logic (no if defined tests), and is considered deprecated in playbooks within a with_ loop.

3.3.1 - 2016-04-08

Removed

• The version: field in meta/main.yml. This an unofficial field that is used by a third-party tool for managing role dependencies (librarian-ansible). Custom meta fields are no longer accepted in Ansible 2.0. See ansible/ansible#13496 for more info. Unfortunately, this will break support for librarian-ansible. As a workaround, until this issue is resolved upstream, use version 3.3.0 of this role.

3.3.0 - 2016-04-08

Added

• Added role variable bind_other_name_servers for adding NS records for DNS servers outside of the domain. (GH-12)
• Re-added bind_recursion, as it is needed in some cases. (GH-14)

Removed

3.2.1 - 2015-12-15

Added

• The domain name can now also point to an IP address, enabling e.g. "http://example.com/" (GH-11)

3.2.0 - 2015-12-07

Added

• Add support for multiple IP addresses per host (GH-9)
• Allow setting rrset-order (for DNS round robin)
• Add support for (multiple) IPv6 (AAAA) records (GH-2). For now, only forward lookups are supported.

Changed

• Test code is put into a separate branch. This means that test code is no longer included when installing the role from Ansible Galaxy.

3.1.0 - 2015-12-04

Added

• Add support for zone transfers (GH-8)
• Check whether bind_zone_master_server_ip was set (GH-7)

Removed

• Role variable bind_recursion was removed. This role is explicitly only suitable for an authoritative DNS server, and in this case, recursion should be off.

3.0.0 - 2015-06-14

Added

• You can now set up a master and slave DNS server.
• The variable bind_zone_master_server_ip was added. This is a required variable, which makes this release not backwards compatible.
• Automated acceptance tests for the test playbook

2.0.0 - 2015-06-10

Added

• Added EL6 to supported platforms. Thanks to @rilindo for verifying this.

Changed

• Recursion is turned off by default, which fits an authoritative name server. This change is not backwards compatible, as the behaviour of BIND is different from before when you do not set the variable bind_recursion explicitly.

Removed

• Firewall settings. This should not be a concern of this role. Configuring the firewall is functionality offered by other roles (e.g. bertvv.bind)

1.0.0 - 2015-04-22

First release!

Added

• Functionality for master DNS server
• Multiple reverse lookup zones
