* Implement support for SSHFP records * Implement support for OPENPGPKEY records * Implement support for TLSA records * Implement support for IPSECKEY records * Add tests for IPSECKEY * Add key length checks for IPSECKEY * Implement support for SVCB and HTTPS records in zonefiles * Fix reading SvcParamKey without value * Derive ipseckey gateway type from gateway * Add SVCB test vectors from RFC 9460 * Disable SVCB alpn escaping Implementing evaluating the escaped backslash and comma would require access to a mutable octet sequence, but instead of implementing that right now, we can just forbid escapes in alpn as permitted by the RFC.
domain – A DNS library for Rust
A library for interacting with the Domain Name System. The crate contains an ever-growing set of building blocks for including DNS functionality in applications.
Currently, these blocks include:
- basic data structures and functionality for creating and parsing DNS data and messages,
- a simple Tokio-based stub resolver,
- experimental support for DNS client and server transports,
- experimental support for reading data from DNS zone files, storing them in memory and answering queries,
- experimental support for zone transfer, including support for TSIG,
- experimental and as yet incomplete support for DNSSEC signing and validation.
The library is currently under heavy development and additional building blocks and features are being added.
Applications
We are maintaining several applications that are built on top of domain, including:
- cascade – a DNSSEC signing pipeline
- dnsi – a command-line tool to inspect various aspects of the DNS
- dnst – a set of binaries that reimplement some of the widely used ldns utilities in Rust
- mimir – a DNS proxy and load balancer
Minimal Supported Rust Versions
We are trying to maintain a decent balance between being able to use older compiler versions and using new features that improve safety and usability of the crate. We will support the latest 4 versions of stable Rust, which is about half a year (24 weeks) past. This means our MSRV is at least 4 versions behind the latest stable.
We will bump the MSRV when a dependency requires it (and we cannot support an older version of the dependency) or when we require new language features. In either case, commits bumping the MSRV will document why it occurred.
Minimum version: 1.79.0
The rust-version given in Cargo.toml is the oldest version that can
be used to compile the crate with the minimal versions of all dependencies
selected.
You can run cargo +nightly update -Z minimal-versions to ask Cargo to
select these minimal versions for all dependencies.
Current version: 1.82.0
This is the minimum Rust version required to build with latest version of
all dependencies at time of release. Cargo.lock contains these versions
for reference.
