The CoreDNS team has released CoreDNS-1.8.0.

This release add two backwards incompatible changes.

One, because Caddy is now developing a version 2 and we are using version 1 we've internalized Caddy into https://github.com/coredns/caddy. This means the caddy types change and all plugins need to fix the import path from: github.com/caddyserver/caddy to github.com/coredns/caddy (this can thankfully be automated).

Next the transfer plugin is now made a first class citizen and plugins wanting to perform outgoing zone transfers can now do so: file, auto, secondary and kubernetes are now doing so. You'll need to change your Corefile from (e.g.):

example.org {
    file example.org.signed {
        transfer to *
        transfer to 10.240.1.1
    }
}

To

example.org {
    file example.org.signed
    transfer {
        to * 10.240.1.1
    }
}
