Pi-hole FTL v4.2

New

Update contained DNS server code to v2.80 #401
Highlights:
- Add support for RFC 4039 DHCP rapid commit.
- Several bugfixes for DNSSEC.
  The Pi-hole team encourages you to play with DNSSEC when your upstream provider supports it.
- Add a facilty to store DNS packets sent/recieved in a pcap-format file for later debugging.
- Fix missing fatal errors with some malformed options.
- Fix missing EDNS0 section in some replies generated by local DNS configuration which confused systemd-resolvd.
- Implement --address=/example.com/# as (more efficient) syntactic sugar for --address=/example.com/0.0.0.0 and --address=/example.com/::.
  This feature has been suggested by the Pi-hole community.
- Change anti cache-snooping behavior with queries with the recursion-desired bit unset. Instead to returning SERVFAIL, we now always forward, and never answer from the cache. This allows dig +trace command to work.
  This bug has been reported by the Pi-hole community.
Add new NODATA blocking mode #433
Use shared memory objects for data #429
Use armv6 soft-float for the arm build - this enhances the compatibility with old ARM devices #468

Update SQLite to 3.26.0 #426
Simplify upstream percentage computation #422

v4.0

8493df4

Pi-hole FTL v4.0

The long awaited version v4.0 of Pi-hole's FTL daemon is available! It ships with a built-in DNS server (based on a private fork of dnsmasq) to provide you with the best performance. Due to the inclusion of the DNS server, you will see the daemon also being referred to as FTLDNS.

This release ships with a number of major changes, only some of which are listed below:

DNS server integration into FTL: Allows us to always ship the most recent (stable) version of dnsmasq
Log file: The log file, many users have been complaining about, becomes optional in this release. All statistics will be available even with logging disabled.
Privacy Levels: You can now specify privacy levels to fine tune the privacy of the generated statistics.
Regex blocking: With Pi-hole v4.0 we fully implement Regex blocking support. You can specify an arbitrary number of arbitrarily complex blocking filters.
Blocking modes: FTLDNS offers a few new blocking modes.

See the blog post for all details.
