2.0.0 - 2014-10-02
  *** Commandline / Signal changes:
    * The signal for zone data reloads is now SIGUSR1, not SIGHUP.
    * The action "reload" has been renamed to "reload-zones",
      and sends the new SIGUSR1 signal.
    * The action "force-reload" has been removed.  Replace it
      with invocations of "restart" if that's what you need.
    * The point of the above changes is to free up SIGHUP and
      "reload" for future reuse for a new reload behavior, but
      get the compatibility breaking out of the way now with
      the major version bump.

  *** Other
    * The hacky support for attempting fast reloads under systemd
      has been removed completely.  It's not worth the pain, and
      better ideas are coming in the long run.
    * UDP requests with a source port of zero will now count
      as UDP "recvfail" in stats and will not be processed for reply.
      Previously we tried to reply to these and ended up failing
      the related sendmsg call and incrementing "sendfail".
    * Default 'max_edns_response' raised from 1280 to 1410.
    * UDP socket buffer default negotiation improvements
    * Various perf tweaks and code cleanups

  *** Please read the 2.0.0-beta news below for everything
      else that's changed since 1.x.

2.0.0-beta - 2014-09-10
  *** This is a beta release to get more people to try it in
      tarball form prior to the official 2.0.0 release.
      Please do not release stable distro packages based on this
      release!

  *** General feature changes:
    * Static address RR-sets in zonefiles are no longer limited
      to 256 RRs per-family
    * Dynamic address RR-sets from plugins are no longer limited
      to 64 RRs per-family.
    * The default 'listen' setting is now 'any', which listens on
      the IPv4 and IPv6 (if available) ANY-addresses 0.0.0.0 and
      [::].  The previous interface-scanning mode can be enabled
      via 'listen = scan'.
    * New TTL-related options: max_ttl, min_ttl, and max_ncache_ttl
      cause clamping (and warning) of zone TTL values.  There is
      a hard maximum on max_ttl of 268435455 (2^28-1, ~8.5 years).
    * New config option 'max_edns_response' to cap edns0 response
      sizes to a value smaller than that advertised by clients,
      defaults to 1280.
    * The timeout parameter of a service_type now defaults to
      half of the specified interval.
    * New service_types plugin "extfile" - allows for the consumption
      of outside monitoring data via disk file in vscf format.
    * Experimental support for djbdns zonefiles
    * IPv6 runtime support is now a requirement, and the related
      option monitor_force_v6_up was removed.
    * Output data from the stats http listener has changed, please
      update any parsers.

  *** Dynamic address resolution changes:
    * The 'DYNC' rr-type can now dynamically return address or
      CNAME data at the plugin's discretion.
    * The zonefile syntax for the TTLs of DYNA and DYNC RRs has changed.
      It now accepts the form MAX[/MIN], where MIN defaults to half
      of MAX.
    * The TTL behavior for DYNA/DYNC has changed substantially:
      Previously the zonefile TTL would be served as-is for 'UP'
      resources, and cut in half for 'DANGER' or 'DOWN' resources.
      Now, an internal TTL is calculated based on the minimum time
      to the next state change between 'UP' and 'DOWN' according to
      the normal monitoring intervals and anti-flap code.
      This internal TTL is then clamped to the maximum and minimum
      TTL values from the relevant zonefile RR.
    * In cases where multiple monitored resources participate in a
      plugin's decision and/or response (e.g. multifo), the internal
      TTL will generally be the minimum of all involved internal
      monitoring TTLs.

  *** Service monitoring changes:
    * CNAMEs can now be monitored entities in the general sense.
      Note that this does not imply resolving external CNAMEs
      for direct service checks, at least not with any current
      plugins.  It just means things like extmon/extfile can
      provide custom monitor feedback, and they can be administrated
      through the admin_state interface described below.
    * plugin_static now also acts as a monitoring plugin.  It sets a
      fixed up/down value and optionally a fixed internal TTL value.
    * The extmon, extfile, static, and null plugins support the
      monitoring of CNAME resources.
    * The metafo, geoip, and weighted plugins make use of CNAME
      monitoring for their CNAME-based resources.
    * Monitored service states are now labeled with just their
      service_type and address (or CNAME), but not the plugin
      and/or resource name which (first) configured them.
    * Empty service_types ('service_types = []') is now legal,
      and suppresses the use of the default 'up' service_type.
    * The 'DANGER' state no longer exists in the built-in monitoring
      system.  A resource is either 'UP' or 'DOWN' at any given
      time.  The monitoring algorithms and thresholds haven't
      changed; 'DANGER' just isn't exposed as a separate state
      from 'UP'.
    * plugin_extmon: the value 'fail_once' for the option
      'helper_failure_action' no longer exists, as it no longer
      makes sense without a visible DANGER state.  The new default
      is 'stasis'.
    * The special service_type 'danger' no longer exists.
    * The special service_type 'none' as an alias for 'up' no
      longer exists.  Use 'up' instead.
    * The special default service_type 'default' (which used
      plugin_http) no longer exists.  The new default is 'up'.

  *** Administrative state-forcing:
    * All monitored entities can be administratively forced
      UP or DOWN (optionally, with a specific monitored TTL) at
      runtime.
    * Additionally, plugins can register virtual entities which
      have no separate real monitoring, but can be administratively
      forced into a non-default state.
    * The current virtual entities in use are the datacenters of
      plugin_metafo and plugin_geoip.  In the plugin_geoip case,
      there are two levels of state-forcing for datacenters: at
      the per-resource level or the map level.  The more-specific
      per-resource level state takes precedence over the map-
      level state, and both override any state from lower-level
      monitored (or forced) resources within a datacenter.
    * The mechanism for forcing state is via writing to a file
      named e.g. /var/lib/gdnsd/admin_state in vscf format
      with lines like "192.0.2.*/http => DOWN/300", or
      "geoip/map3/dc-us => UP".  As shown in the first example,
      glob patterns are allowed for matching entity names.

  *** Daemonization changes:
    * The argument "-d <rootdir>" has been replaced by "-c <cfgdir>",
      e.g. "gdnsd -c /etc/gdnsd start", with a default of
      ${sysconfdir}/gdnsd.
    * Two new configuration options for run_dir and state_dir to
      override the autoconf-based defaults of e.g. [/var]/run/gdnsd
      and /var/lib/gdnsd, respectively.  It's probably better to
      change these via ./configure args in the normal case; this
      is mostly for testsuite-like stuff or multiple instances on
      a single machine.
    * Direct, inbuilt support for chroot() has been removed.  There
      are much better security container options out there today that
      can be configured externally to wrap gdnsd and/or limit its
      privileges.  Use them!
    * debug-mode is now enabled on the commandline via "-D",
      and even production builds now produce some level of
      debug log output.
    * "startfg" has been replaced with the flag "-f", which can
      be used with any of the start or restart -like actions
      to remain in the foreground.
    * initgroups() is now called during privdrop operations,
      allowing the daemon to have the secondary group permissions
      assigned to its user in /etc/group or equivalent.
    * Foreground daemons participate fully in all other aspects
      of daemonization (e.g. privdrop and pidfile locking)
    * It is possible to properly restart a daemon instance from
      background to foreground and back again; meaning "-f restart"
      can take over from a regular daemon into the foreground,
      and then a regular "restart" in another terminal can replace
      the foreground daemon with a new background one.
    * Restarts are now even more seamless than they were before.
      All expensive operations are completed before attempting to
      kill the previous daemon instance (even monitor initialization),
      leaving only the timing gap of waiting for the old daemon to
      exit in response to its death signal before binding the
      listening sockets in the new daemon, however:
    * In cases where SO_REUSEPORT works, the new daemon's listeners
      will be bound just *before* sending that death signal to reduce
      lost requests even further.  Note that you'll probably
      still lose a handful of requests that were in the old daemon's
      socket buffers at the time of its death.

  *** Trivial, previously-deprecated incompatibilities:
    * plugin_weighted: no longer allows 'cnames' alongside
      'addrs_v4' or 'addrs_v6' in the same resource.
    * plugin_weighted: the pointless 'cnames' singleton substanza is
      no longer supported; just place the entries directly in the
      top level of the resource.
    * The 'late_bind_secs' option was removed.
    * The 'tcp_clients_per_socket' option is removed. Use
      'tcp_clients_per_thread' instead.
    * The 'disble_tcp' option is removed. Use 'tcp_threads = 0' instead.
    * The 'zones_rfc1035_strict_startup' option is removed.  Use
      'zones_strict_startup' instead.
    * plugin_extmon: %%IPADDR%% replaced by %%ITEM%%
    * Direct support for the SPF RR-type (99) has been removed.

  *** Other misc incompatibilities
    * The plugin API has changed substantially; any third-party
      plugins will need substantial source-level updates.  See the
      gdnsd-plugin-api docs.
    * Support for the old, experimental edns-client-subnet option code
      0x50fa has been removed; gdnsd now only supports the official,
      IANA-assigned option code 0x0008.

  *** Build changes
    * libcap is no longer used on Linux
    * --without-libcap doesn't exist anymore
    * --with-rootdir doesn't exist anymore
    * Perl 5.8.1+ and "perldoc" is required for building
    * Preliminary systemd support via --with-systemd
