Beta Release 1.1.0b4

What's Changed

• The feature formerly planned to be called "IPAM AutoDNS" is now called "IPAM DNSsync". The best way to deal with lawyers is not to wake them while they're asleep.

Full Changelog: 1.0.5...1.0.6

New beta release 1.1b3

What's Changed

• Error message on trying to change a prefix (prefix or VRF) instead of silently dropping it from all views. I't better to make users aware that they are potentially creating huge DNS changes than to just do it.
• Added a button in the prefix detail view that can be used to assign views to a prefix. Previously you had to visit all affected views to make changes to the assignment for a given prefix.
• Added a warning when creating duplicate IP addresses with the same DNS name and unique records are enforced. Previously this resulted in a 500 error.
• Some additional permission checks, e.g. when accessing views from a prefix and vice versa.
• Updated the documentation to the NetBox 4.1 theme.
• Some minor fixes and improvements.

If all is going according to plan (and if I continue to receive exactly zero bug reports or other feedback, nudge, nudge!) this will be the release candidate for when NetBox 4.1 gets released as well.

1.1.0-beta2

Beta Release: Support for NetBox 4.1.0-beta1

Beta Release 1.1.0-beta1

Caution: This is a pre-release and must not be used in production environments! It may contain bugs, and there may not be an upgrade path to a later production release. Using this release in production may result in operational problems and data loss. Make sure to have a backup of your existing test installation, and did I mention it: Don't use it in production!

New Feature: IPAM AutoDNS

Release 1.1.0 drops support for the experimental IPAM Coupling feature and replaces it by the final version of IPAM integration, IPAM AutoDNS. The main differences are:

• IPAM AutoDNS does not require manual interaction when an IP address is created or updated. Particularly it ist not necessary to manually define the name and the zone of the address record for an IP address, but only a value in the 'DNS Name' field and a mapping from prefixes to DNS views
• IPAM AutoDNS does not require any custom fields on IPAddress objects, but supports the relevant part of the IPAM Coupling custom fields ('Disable PTR' and 'TTL') and adds a new field 'Disable AutoDNS' to make it possible to exempt IP addresses from record generation
• IPAM AutoDNS is not limited to one DNS record per IP address, which was a major limitation in split horizon DNS settings. It is now possible to create multiple records in zones in different views for the same IP address
• With IPAM Coupling it was possible to create inconsistent date, i.e. by first adding a record name1.zone1 in zone example.com and then adding a new zone zone1.example.com to the DNS model. This creates a situation where the old address record can no longer be found due to the zone hierarchy. IPAM AutoDNS automatically migrates the record(s) in such cases.
• IPAM AutoDNS no longer overwrites the 'DNS Name' field of IP addresses but uses it to create DNS records. There is one downside to this, which is that IDNs cannot be entered directly but have to be formulated in Punycode, but on the upside the 'DNS Name' field is now properly validated.

Currently there is no support for checking NetBox DNS-related permissions in IPAM actions such as creating or modifying IP addresses or prefixes. Support for model-level permissions is planned for the final release, but support for object-level permissions is probably not going to come back because of the shortcomings of Djangos permission model, which only works on form level, not on model level, while much of the actions NetBox DNS is doing behind the scenes are on model level.

Breaking Change: IPAM Coupling is deprecated and was removed

The main reason for this is that to make the migration as smooth as possible, many components of IPAM Coupling were re-used for IPAM AutoDNS. Unfortunately that breaks the IPAM Coupling functionality in a way that makes it impossible to have both installed side by side.
