v4.37.0

[TomOnTime]

Greetings DNS fans!

It's been a while since the last release. Thank you for your patience. We have some exciting news!

DNSControl has gone independent! The GitHub repos have been transfers to an independent GitHub org appropriately named DNSControl. We thank Stack Overflow for their past support and a special thanks to the SO employees (CP and RJ especially) involved in the negotiations and the technical work to complete the transfers that followed.

• Due to the change, our CI/CD pipeline required many updates. The goal of this release is to fix those issues without introducing any new features. See Create first release now that we're independent #4227 for details. It also includes some bug fixes and new features that had been merged but not yet released prior to the separation.
• Once we're confident the new system works, we'll start merging the PRs that have been accumulating since May.

Special thanks to @cafferata and @chicks-net for their help getting this release across the finish line!

Action needed: New names

New org, new names!

Homebrew is now DNSControl/tap/dnscontrol. You'll want to uninstall the old name:

 brew uninstall stackexchange/tap/dnscontrol
 brew install DNSControl/tap/dnscontrol

There are new URLs for Containers:

• Docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/dnscontrol/dnscontrol/
• GitHub Container Registry: https://github.com/dnscontrol/dnscontrol/pkgs/container/dnscontrol

The official GitHub Action is now:

• https://github.com/DNSControl/dnscontrol-action
• Please update your .github files.

Release highlights:

• Many PRs related to the separation including CICD and documentation fixes. @cafferata took on most of the burden!

Deprecation warnings

Warning

• REV() will switch from RFC2317 to RFC4183 in v5.0. This is a breaking change. Warnings are output if your configuration is affected. No date has been announced for v5.0. 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.

Is the container for this release available on ghcr.io? I'm having problems reaching https://github.com/dnscontrol/dnscontrol/pkgs/container/dnscontrol. It's available on docker hub so I can do my thing, but I wanted to drop a note here.

The homebrew formula should also be updated to prevent any issues for people running brew install dnscontrol
