v5.8.0

Greetings DNS fans!

Release Highlight!

The big change in this release is all the documentation and examples have been changed to use the new REGISTRAR() and SERVICE() functions. These replace NewDnsProvider(), DnsProvider(), and NewRegistrar() (which still work). The conversion guide is here: https://docs.dnscontrol.org/getting-started/converting-dnsconfig.

Way back when we had the first Monthly DNSControl Community Video Conference Call, my first question was "what's the most confusing part of DNSControl?" Multiple people pointed out that having to define every provider twice (once as a registrar, once as a DNS Service provider) confused them when they first got started. Thus began a long journey of finding a better, more simple, syntax.

This release concludes that story. Now there's no need to define variables for providers. Just specify SERVICE("foo") where "foo" is the name of an entry in creds.json. Likewise registrars are configured with REGISTRAR("foo"). No temporary variables. Just say what you want and point DNSControl at the creds.json entry directly.

Give it a try and please file bugs if you have questions or suggestions.

And, yes, the old syntax still works and will be supported as long as possible.

Gratitude

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
