v5.3.0

[TomOnTime]

Greetings DNS fans!

Thanks to all contributors involved in this release! This is a community project and we couldn't do it without all of your contributions!

SECRET NEW FEATURE: There's a new syntax for D(). Test it out and let me know if you like it. (Both the old and new syntax will be supported.) Details are here: https://docs.dnscontrol.org/getting-started/converting-dnsconfig

TWO NEW PROVIDERS: DNSControl now supports MITTWALD and SPACESHIP! Thanks and welcome to @twiesing and @rootful who joins the project as its maintainers. We look forward to great things!

Sincerely,
--Tom Limoncelli

Monthly video call!

Everyone is invited to the Monthly DNSControl Community Video Conference Call on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Join whether you are a new user with questions or an experienced developer that wants to discuss DNSControl internals... or anything in between! Meeting details on
GitHub Discussions.

SECRET BETA: Try the new D() syntax!

The new D() syntax in dnsconfig.js attempts to improve usability. It is fully backwards compatible. See the examples in the conversion guide. Feedback needed!

Deprecation warnings

Warning

• REV() will switch from RFC2317 to RFC4183 sometime after v5.0 is released. This is a breaking change. Warnings are output if your configuration is affected. See https://docs.dnscontrol.org/language-reference/top-level-functions/revcompat
• NAMEDOTCOM, OPENSRS and SOFTLAYER need maintainers! These providers have no maintainer. Maintainers respond to PRs and fix bugs in a timely manner, and try to stay on top of protocol changes.
