So it appears that in Version 7 (which was quickly upgraded to version 8) that indicates there is a completely new API that is called version 2. The original API version 1.0 is still included and enabled but will not be upgraded moving forward.

https://simpledns.com/kb/162/new-in-simple-dns-plus-v7-0

I can use either version of the API in version 8 so support for that version using the original API (version 1) should be pretty light work. Moving forward, there is an indication that API version 1 will be removed in some future version. Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Jim

Any new info on this? It will become more important as version 6 is getting to be several years old and has some vulnerabilities that are fix in versions 7 & 8.

Thanks

I just spent some time looking at DNS ENDS issues in preparation for DNS Flag Day 2019 ( https://dnsflagday.net) and found that SimpleDNS was not compliant. I reported the issue to the developer and he fixed the bugs in release 8.06. So if you are using SimpleDNS for authoritative DNS and don't upgrade to the compliant version before February 1st, 2019, the domain your host could become unavailable as DNS will fail to properly resolve.

Is there any way to bump SolidCP support for version 8 up in priority?

Thanks!

Jim

I tried to get access to the code repo so I could see if I could write the correct module for SimpleDNS 8. I haven't gotten a reply and there is no way to create an account for the code repo.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Jim

The approval is (due abuse circomstances)  a manual process which can take a few days.
