nsupdate.info/CHANGES.rst

ChangeLog
=========

Release 0.7.0
-------------

Important notes:

* WE_HAVE_SSL configuration setting name was changed to WE_HAVE_TLS.
  Please update your configuration, if you use it.
* Django 1.6.x required now, if you want to use 1.5.x: see setup.py

New Features:

* i18n support (uses preferred language from browser)
* fr/de/it translations added
* translations are on transifex, you can help there!
  https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/nsupdateinfo/
* add m0n0wall router configuration
* implemented host delete API at /nic/delete to remove A or AAAA record in DNS
  (very similar to the dyndns2 update api, which does not offer this)
* host delete functionality on web UI
* custom templates (for legalese, site-specific notes, etc. - see docs for
  details)
* abuse / abuse blocked flags + script support (see docs)
* show example zone file for bind9 after adding a new domain
* better display in the admin

Fixes:

* fix 500 error when domain does not exist
* fix 500 error on profile view when not logged in
* fix html validation errors 
* deal with invalid ip address strings in updates ("dnserr")
* updated dd-wrt configuration with verified settings
* fix login url generation in activation_complete template #139
* switch off RD #142
* handle DnsUpdateError (e.g. SERVFAIL)
* handle NoNameservers exception
* handle UnknownTSIGKey exception
* handle "Network is unreachable" error
* handle empty ?myip=

Other changes:

* also support Python >= 3.3 (experimental, please give feedback)
* improve looks, UI / UX
* removed view for legalese (please solve locally, according to your law -
  you can use custom templates for this)
* added some ugly logos (if you can do better ones, please help)
  https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/78
* replaced "SSL" by "TLS" everywhere.      
  SSL is the old/outdated name. Since 1999, it's called TLS.


Release 0.6.0
-------------

Important notes:

* importing from nsupdate.settings does not work any more (nor
  does the nsupdate.local_settings hack work any more).
  in your local_settings.py, please do your imports like this::

      from nsupdate.settings.dev import *   # for development
      # alternatively:
      from nsupdate.settings.prod import *  # for production
      # after that, override whatever you need to override.

* if you run Django 1.6.x, you manually need to apply a patch for
  django-registration (until that package is fixed for django 1.6
  compatibility), see the django-registration-dj16-fix.diff in the toplevel
  directory of the repo.

New Features:

* browser/javascript-based update client (the URL you need is shown in the
  "browser" help panel after you add a host or generate a new secret).

Other changes:

* cleaned up how settings work, improved docs about a sane settings setup
* document postgreSQL setup
* also support Python 2.6.x
* also support Django 1.6.x
* for debugging, added django-debug-toolbar


Release 0.5.0
-------------

Important note (only for upgrades):

There is an issue if you use "south" and the "sqlite" database - it can't
add BooleanFields and set the default values correctly when using "migrate".

As we added some critical fields, you need to use these commands immediately
after running "django-admin.py migrate" to make sure their initial values are
correct::

    # all hosts will be available, no host will have abuse flags set:
    django-admin.py faults --reset-available --reset-abuse --reset-abuse-blocked

Fixes:

* use python-social-auth exception middleware to catch exceptions
* status view is for logged-in users only (it was removed from navigation,
  but still accessible by URL in previous releases)
* fix session cookie behaviour to be more private for not-logged-in users

New Features:

* "update other services" feature (act as dyndns2 client to update 3rd party
  services when we receive an update)
* added per-host fault counters for update client and dns server
* abuse handling (for clients triggering too many faults) using the "faults"
  management command
* abuse-blocked / abuse / unavailable counts on status view
* notfqdn and abuse dyndns2 api result codes supported
* show reverse DNS of current IPs (only on host overview)
* customizable footer (use a custom base_footer.html template)

Other changes:

* use sane field lengths in the DB
* more help texts, more hints, better docs
* workflow for adding a domain is now similar to adding a host
* improved user interface
* use travis-ci and coveralls services for the project
* updated bootstrap to 3.0.2 (from cdn)


Release 0.4.0
-------------

Fixes:

* fix api return value (no "noauth", just "badauth")
* fix invalid /detectip/None URL for fresh session
* make IP detection on the web UI a bit more reliable
* fix KeyErrors in logging (at least for default format)


New Features:

* use REMOTE_ADDR for one of the 2 IP detections
* add a warning on the UI if the user has no javascript enabled
* use real session cookies by default (that get cleared on browser close)
* support "keep me logged in" if user wants a permanent 14d cookie
* use html5 autofocus to put cursor into the right input field
* python manage.py testuser to reinitialize test user (see docs)


Other changes:

* document clearsessions usage
* more tests


Release 0.3.0
-------------

  https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/81
* improved logging levels, added log output at some places
* dnserr dyndns2 result supported
* more safe bind9 configuration example
* support for single-host update secrets
* make dnstools unit tests work everywhere
* remove beta from version number (but keep general beta state in pypi
  classifier)
