v5.0.2

[TomOnTime]

Greetings DNS fans!

There were some small but significant bugs found in v5.0.0. If your configuration uses the IP() function, there's a 50% chance you're affected. CLOUDNS users of the CAA record type are also affected.

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

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.

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.
