I'm considering whether I want to continue delphinusdns project for another
five years or longer. I'll be nearing 50 y.o. in 2025 and I'm itching to
do another project before I die. Continuing until age 59 as I had previously
thought would work I'm putting my doubts on it. So I'm gonna say that I'm
going to pass the torch possibly before the 2.0 release. I will maintain
delphinusdnsd as a download but may not actively work on it as a single
entity after 1.9. I still want to put secure dns updates into this, and
continue putting cool stuff into this. Five years is a long time and twenty
years for the entire project length is a human generation. We'll see I have
five years to consider this. I may start parallel projects next year to test
the water what I can do and what is possible. We'll see.

RFC 8906 tests, we fail on 5 tests
September 30th, 2020
I have written down which issues delphinusdnsd fails on here is the list:
- 8.1.4 - no question
- 8.2.5 - no AA flag required
- 8.2.6 - no AA flag required
- 8.2.7 - couldn't test completely because answers are under 512 bytes
- 8.2.9 - no AA flag required
I do not see these as serious violations so I'll take my time with fixing them.
I'm currently finding out on IRC whether the AA flags on NOTIMPL and BADVERS
is a global thing then I just have to fix reply_notimpl() and reply_badvers().

Delphinusdns.ORG algorithm change upcoming
September 20th, 2020
I'm changing the algorithm on delphinusdns.org to alg 13. To do this I have
to take the zone out of DNSSEC for a day or two, which is the easiest way
because there is recursive servers out there that can't do an algorithm
rollover correctly. I already tested this with a test zone (dtschland.eu).
These changes will be done next week, possibly starting tomorrow. The
steps are 1. remove the DS entry at .org level, 2. wait 86400 seconds (TTL)
3. remove DNSKEY 4. wait 86400 seconds (TTL) 5. install new keys and sign.
6. upload new DS entry to registrar for .org level insertion. I'm also doing
this for three other zones in parallel. Extra caution has to be done at the
centroid.eu zone because it has a DANE setup which I may have to disable for
these two days.

Killed backward compatibility for old OpenSSL
September 17th, 2020
With this
commit I took
out old backward compatibility for OpenSSL before 1.0.1. Since LibreSSL is
portable across many platforms and we rely on that for NetBSD and OpenBSD there
is not much need for this compatibility code anymore. It will be reflected
in the 1.5.0 release by next month.

1.5.0 possibly released mid to late October
September 1st, 2020
OpenBSD 6.8 is in beta. That gives around 1 month of testing for this OS
before it is released. I checked and OpenBSD 6.2 was in beta on August 20th,
2017 and it was released on October 9th, 2017, so judging by how long this
takes it took them 40 days. So given the release mid October for OpenBSD,
delphinusdnsd will be about 2 weeks later, but before November. We'll see.
This pegging to OpenBSD is only for this year, I don't plan on doing this too
often. Delphinusdnsd is developed on OpenBSD for what it's worth.

What's next in the next few weeks?
August 30th, 2020
September is almost around. Two things need to be done before I roll the
1.5.0 release.
- I need to do another portcheck to see that Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD work
- I want to move delphinusdnsd to a /var/delphinusdnsd directory as is done
in the OpenBSD port (which hasn't been accepted afaik, but do that anyhow).
After that the 1.5.0 release is pretty much ready and I'll just be waiting for
the OpenBSD 6.8 release so that I can release a few days after.

Silently fixed
August 26th, 2020
Between July 6th and today there has been a countdown timer for AXFR zone TTLs.
This wasn't immediately noticed because my zones are less than 1 second apart
notification wise and I simply didn't notice it. Tools that I use didn't
mark it either. If you need the fix you should grab tomorrows snapshot.
