Important dependencies updates:

• https://github.com/michalszmidt/hctl/pull/11 OpenSSL
• https://github.com/michalszmidt/hctl/pull/10 Rustix

Breaking Changes and new features

• NEW: Now can read as input format additionally: dnsmasq, bind, hostperm1
• BREAKING Because of ^ new obligatory arg was added (or in config) --pattern to specify input format of list
• BREAKING: config file scheme unmarshall has changed, make sure you updated it, see example_config.yml on master branch

Other changes

• BUILDS: Mac OS X: silicon is on sonoma, intel is on stable (will automatically bump from ventura when gh sets is as -latest)
• BUILDS: FreeBSD: is on 14.0-RELEASE-p1
• BUILDS: OpenBSD 7.4 Added! Built with rust from repo, without cargo auditable
• NEW: mode=url now you can fetch directly one list from web without using yaml file

In Future

• Remote config file for instance --mode config --config https://my.server/hostlists/hctl.yml will be useful if you want to modify config without logging into server
• More input formats
• Automatic input format recogintion (lot of work, needs help)
• Function unification
• In-code documentation
• Proper error handling.
• More unit-tests.
• Code coverage report.
• Automatic testing in gh actions
• Void Linux package addition still pending
• homebrew, only personal tap
• crates.io

Needs feedback

• My guess: NO: Should I care about DragonflyBSD, Solaris, Illumos, Haiku, Zircon etc. ?
• My guess: NO: Are you using hctl as critical mission software? Should I care about backward compatibility when it comes to old config schemes?

Hi folks!

As promised full DNS-enabled release contains:

• User defined resolver, see example_config.yml, controllable only in mode=config, in other modes it will use hardcoded uncensored DOT resolvers.
• New -t --validate arg, that will just output true or false for each domain (in parallel). Works with grep.
• Since now, intro contains UTC timestamp
• MAINTENANCE: Added parsing + query unit-test for custom resolvers.
• MAINTENANCE: I've set binary embedded information using cargo-auditable
• MAINTENANCE: Changed default branch to master due to condflict with LICENSE amend rebase on other branch.
• fixed typo vesrion -> version in serde dependency, no more warnings!

Note: that:

• IPv6-only custom resolver may fail? I don't have one, please report.
• LICENSE is now just BSD-3-Clause
• IMPORTANT if you use config mode, you need to add (even empty) key resolvers: below, otherwise yaml unmarshall will fail.

News:

• hctl has been accepted 🎉 to the alpine repo testing (edge) and in future will be moved to the community (probably at the end of the year), read aports package request for more details.
• I've set up public home repo on SUSE OBS so you can just type opi hctl to get it on *SUSE
• hctl compiles on every architecture that SUSE TW is available, even riscv64

Future:

• Void linux package request pending
• Resolver from preset (to get yaml readable).
• Reduce blind .unwrap() in other words - proper error handling.
• More unit-tests.
• Code coverage report.
• Fedora, AUR, brew, FreeBSD ports

Hi folks!

This is pre-release because not all features for dns-over-tls has been implemented. Stay tuned!

What actually changed:

• this and future releases by default requires openssl, but you can get rid of it
• small fix for parallel iterators - removed one collect. Should be faster then.
• validate your records for ip or cname by dns-over-tls with dnseec, controlled by cli arg --dns [yes/no] default no

Note that:

• For some reason dot queries are slow... Like ~600 records per 1.5 minute. Needs investigation
• There are inbuilt non-logging, uncensored, privacy friendly dot servers +(cloudflare and quad9), 16 in total.
• /etc/resolv.conf or any other system dns conf is not respected
• Regression with DragonflyBSD builds, as trust-dns-resolver bumped msrv

Full release will contain:

• User-defined dot servers
• Query speedup (hopefully)
• New option for only log-generating while dns validation, without rejecting.

Hi folks!

Just a small release

Done:

• Added 7 new output formats, documented on wiki
• Fixed CI for DragonFlyBSD and NetBSD Release
• You can watch detailed hctl download stats here on wiki

Remaining:

• If anyone could help with OpenBSD VM issue 12 this will unblock OpenBSD releases
• See also Solaris VM issue 34 if interested in Illumos Builds
• If anyone could help with FreeBSD NetBSD OpenBSD rust crosscompilation, please open new issue

Deleted first release, as accidentally created tag 2.1 instead of 0.2.1

Just a preview, not tested, regex malfunctions in some rare cases.
