# ChangeLog
This document describes notable changes. For details, see the [source code
repository history](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/commits/master).
## 20XX-XX-XX v3.11.3_0 (WIP)
## 2023-11-23 v3.11.2
### Bug fixes
* Fixed simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 updates for provider duckdns
* Fixed caching issues for new providers when using the old 'use' config parameter
## 2023-10-25 v3.11.1
### Bug fixes
* Fixed simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 updates for provider porkbun
* Removed @PACKAGE_VERSION@ placeholder in ddclient.in for now
to allow downstream to adopt the proper build process first.
See [here](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/issues/579) for the discussion.
## 2023-10-21 v3.11.0
This version is the same as v3.11.0_1 (except for the updated version number in the code).
Refer to [v3.11 release plan discussions](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/issues/552) for the reasons.
## 2023-10-15 v3.11.0_1
### Breaking changes
* ddclient now requires curl. The Perl modules IO::Socket::IP and IO::Socket::SSL are no longer used.
* ddclient no longer ships any example files for init systems that use `/etc/init.d`.
This was done because those files where effectively unmaintained, untested by the developers and only updated by downstream distros.
If you where relying on those files, please copy them into your packaging.
* The defunct `dnsexit` protocol is removed (replaced by `dnsexit2`).
### New features
* Introduced `usev4` and `usev6` for separate IPv4/IPv6 configuration. These will replace the legacy `use` eventually.
* Added support for moving secrets out of the configuration through environment variables
* Extended postscript mechanism
* sample-get-ip-from-fritzbox: Added environment variable to override hostname
* Warn about hosts where no IP could be determined - and skip the (bogus) update.
### Provider updates:
* Added regfish
* Added domeneshop.no
* Added Mythic Beasts
* Added Porkbun
* Added Enom
* Added DigitalOcean
* Added Infomaniak
* Added DNSExit API v2
* Removed old DNSExit API
* Extended EasyDNS to support IPv6
* Extended duckdns to support IPv6
### Bug fixes
* Fixed various issues with caching
* Fixed issues with Hetzner zones
* The OVH provider now ignores extra data returned
* Merge multiple configs for the same hostname instead of use the last
## 2022-10-20 v3.10.0
### New features
* Added support for domaindiscount24.com
* Added support for njal.la
## 2022-05-15 v3.10.0_2
### Bug fixes
* Fix version number being unable to parse
## 2022-05-15 v3.10.0_1
This release contains a total of over 360 commits according to GitHub.
Many of them cleaned up and improved the code to make further maintenance easier.
ddclient also went through a major maintainer change. More help is highly appreciated
and for the time new features are unlikely to be implemented.
This is a first release candidate to hopefully catch some more bugs before the final 3.10.0 release.
Due to ddclient's nature talking to many cloud services, testing all of them is not easy
and it is necessary to rely on the community to test all of them.
### New features
* Added support for Cloudflare API tokens
* Added support for OVH DynHost.
* Added support for ClouDNS.
* Added support for dinahosting.
* Added support for Gandi LiveDNS.
* Added a build system to make it easier for distributions to package
ddclient:
```
./autogen && ./configure && make && make VERBOSE=1 check && make install
```
* The `freedns` protocol (for https://freedns.afraid.org) now supports IPv6
addresses.
* New `ssl_ca_dir` and `ssl_ca_file` options to specify the location of CA
certificates.
* New built-in IP discovery service shorthands:
- `googledomains` from https://domains.google
- `he` from https://he.net
- `ip4only.me`, `ip6only.me` from http://whatismyv6.com
- `ipify-ipv4` and `ipify-ipv6` from https://www.ipify.org
- `myonlineportal` from https://myonlineportal.net
- `noip-ipv4` and `noip-ipv6` from https://www.noip.com
- `nsupdate.info-ipv4` and `nsupdate.info-ipv6` from
https://www.nsupdate.info
- `zoneedit` from https://www.zoneedit.com
* New built-in shorthands for obtaining the IP address from the following
devices ([thanks to Geoff Simmons](https://bugs.debian.org/589980)):
- `alcatel-530`: Alcatel/Thomson SpeedTouch 530
- `siemens-ss4200`: Siemens SpeedStream 4200
- `thomson-st536v6`: Thomson SpeedTouch 536v6
- `thomson-tg782`: Thomson/Technicolor TG782
* Added option `-curl` to access network with system Curl command instead
of the Perl built-in IO::Socket classes.
* Added option `-{no}web-ssl-validate` and `-{no}fw-ssl-validate`to provide
option to disable SSL certificate validation. Note that these only apply for
network access when obtaining an IP address with `use=web` or `use=fw`
(any firewall). Network access to Dynamic DNS servers to set or retrieve
IP address will always require certificate validation.
### Bug fixes
* If multiple hosts are defined and one fails, ddclient will no longer skip
the remaining hosts.
* Minor `freedns` protocol fixes. In particular, you can now update an
address that differs from the system's own.
* Fixed a regression introduced in v3.9.0 that caused
`use=ip,ip=<ipv4-address>` to fail.
* "true" is now accepted as a boolean value.
* The `ssl` option now applies to the `web` URL.
### Compatibility and dependency changes
* Perl v5.10.1 or later is now required.
* Removed dependency on Data::Validate::IP.
* When `use=if`, iproute2's `ip` command is now attempted before falling back
to `ifconfig` (it used to be the other way around). If you set `if-skip`,
please check that your configuration still works as expected.
* Removed the `concont` protocol. If you still use this protocol, please
[file a bug report](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/issues) and we
will restore it.
* The `force` option no longer prevents daemonization.
* If installed as `ddclientd` (or any other name ending in `d`), the default
value for the `daemon` option is now 5 minutes instead of the previous 1
minute.
* The `pid` option is now ignored when ddclient is not daemonized.
* ddclient now gracefully exits when interrupted by Ctrl-C.
* The way ddclient chooses the default for the `use` option has changed.
Rather than rely on the default, users should explicitly set the `use`
option.
* The default `interval` changed from 1 minute to 5 minutes.
* The `fw-banlocal` option is deprecated and no longer does anything.
* The `if-skip` option is deprecated and no longer does anything.
* The default server for the `dslreports1` protocol changed from
`members.dyndns.org` to `www.dslreports.com`.
* Removed support for defunct dnsspark service
* Removed support for defunct dtdns service
* Removed support for defunct Hammernode service
## 2020-01-08 v3.9.1
* added support for Yandex.Mail for Domain DNS service
* added support for NearlyFreeSpeech.net
* added support for DNS Made Easy
* added systemd instructions
* added support for dondominio.com

## 2018-08-09 v3.9.0

### Detailed list of changes
* [r208] wimpunk: ddclient: cosmetic, remove stray space indent
* [r207] wimpunk: ddclient: Support IPv6 for CloudFlare
* [r206] wimpunk: ddclient: name cheap support https now
From name cheap it seems http is supported now. Since the password was
send on plaintext, https should be used
* [r205] wimpunk: ddclient: Use JSON::PP instead of the (deprecated)
JSON::Any
* [r204] wimpunk: ddclient: Follow expected behavior
Align ddclient behavior and documentation with namecheap's -
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/583/11/how-do-i-configure-ddclient
* [r203] wimpunk: ddclient: Specify port number properly to 'nsupdate' (#58)
If a port number is included in the 'server' configuration item, ddclient
allows a port number to be specified by appending a colon and the port
number to the server's name or IPv4 address. However, nsupdate does not
support this syntax, it requires the port number to be separated from the
server name/address by whitespace.

* [r202] wimpunk: README.md, README.ssl, ddclient, sample-etc_ddclient.conf,

gkranis/master
Adding duckdns example
Duckdns example added to sample-etc_ddclient.conf

Make the delete command specific to A RRs. This prevents ddclient from
deleting other RRs unrelated to the dynamic address, but on the same
FQDN. This can be specifically a problem with KEY RRs when using SIG(0)
instead of symmetric keys.

This can be used to prevent dyndns.org from deleting a host that has not
required an update for a long period of time.

This can be used together with cron to periodically update DynDNS. See
sample-etc-cron.d-ddclient for details.
* optionally (-retry) save failed updates for future processing.
This feature can be used to reissue updates that may have failed due to
network connectivity problems or a DynDNS server outage
