DigitDNS v5.8.13 — live-log DNS response detail

A feature release on top of v5.8.11. No database schema migration is required;
existing settings, clients, blocklists, certificates, relay agents and egress
options are preserved.

Added

  • See what a query actually resolved to, from the live log. Both the web
    dashboard and the Android app can open a DNS-response panel for any row. It
    shows the answer section in the order the resolver returned it — the CNAME
    chain followed by the address records, each with its own TTL:

    Response code  NOERROR
Response       CNAME: proud-forest-0346aa81e.4.azurestaticapps.net. (ttl=30)
               CNAME: azurestaticappstm4.trafficmanager.net. (ttl=30)
               A: 51.105.228.104 (ttl=30)

    It also carries the processing latency, the client and upstream transports,
    the cache state, the query type, the block source and the relay.

  • Web popover. Hovering the (i) button in the ACTION column opens a panel
    anchored beside it, with a caret pointing at the button. The pointer can move
    into the panel; moving away closes it. Values keep the same protocol colours
    used everywhere else in the panel.

  • Android dialog. Tap the domain on a live-log row to open a compact
    DNS-response dialog; long-press still copies the domain. The per-row info
    button was removed, so the row keeps its width for the domain.

Changed

  • Sub-millisecond latency is shown, not rounded. Cache hits, blocks and
    proxied names are usually answered in well under a millisecond and used to read
    0 ms; they now read values such as 0.042 ms.
  • Answer records are grouped under one Response field, one record per line,
    instead of repeating the label for each address.
  • Labels: Latency, Response code, Response, Query Type; block
    categories are spelled Ads, Tracker, Malware.

Fixed

  • Blocked queries no longer show the null-IP sinkhole (0.0.0.0) as a
    resolved answer.     A block is a policy reply, not a resolution.
  • DNSCrypt keeps readable contrast on the light theme in the response panel.

Upgrade

In-place upgrades from the dashboard are supported. The release assets include
the Linux amd64/arm64 hub binary, relay-agent binaries, the offline bundle,
checksums and their ed25519 signature, and the Android APKs attached from the
android-v5.8.13 tag.
