[v3.0.0]

Removed

• xDnsRecord

  • BREAKING CHANGE: The resource has been replaced by DnsServerA, DnsServerPtr,
    and DnsServerCName (issue #221).

• xDnsServerMx

  • BREAKING CHANGE: The resource has been replaced by DnsServerMx (issue #228).

• DnsServerSetting

  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties Forwarders and ForwardingTimeout has
    been removed (issue #192).
    Use the resource DnsServerForwarder to enforce these properties.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties EnableEDnsProbes and EDnsCacheTimeout has
    been removed (issue #195).
    Use the resource DnsServerEDns to enforce these properties.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties SecureResponses, MaxCacheTTL, and
    MaxNegativeCacheTTL has been removed (issue #197).
    To enforce theses properties, use resource DnsServerEDns using the
    properties EnablePollutionProtection, MaxTtl, and MaxNegativeTtl
    respectively.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties DefaultAgingState, ScavengingInterval,
    DefaultNoRefreshInterval, and DefaultRefreshInterval have been removed.
    Use the resource DnsServerScavenging to enforce this properties (issue #193).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties NoRecursion, RecursionRetry, and
    RecursionTimeout has been removed (issue #200).
    To enforce theses properties, use resource DnsServerRecursion using the
    properties Enable, RetryInterval, and Timeout respectively.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: A few properties that are not supported by any DNS
    Server PowerShell cmdlet was moved to the new resource DnsServerSettingLegacy.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties DsPollingInterval and DsTombstoneInterval
    has been removed (issue #252).
    Use the resource DnsServerDsSetting to enforce these properties.

• ResourceBase

  • For the method Get() the overload that took a [Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance]
    was removed as it is not the correct pattern going forward.

Added

• DnsServerDsc
  • Added new resource
    • DnsServerCache - resource to enforce cache settings (issue #196).
    • DnsServerRecursion - resource to enforce recursion settings (issue #198).
  • Added new private function Get-ClassName that returns the class name
    or optionally an array with the class name and all inherited base class
    named.
  • Added new private function Get-LocalizedDataRecursive that gathers
    all localization strings from an array of class names. This can be used
    in classes to be able to inherit localization strings from one or more
    base class. If a localization string key exist in a parent class's
    localization string file it will override the localization string key
    in any base class.
  • Fixed code coverage in the pipeline (issue #246).
• ResourceBase
  • Added new method Assert() tha calls Assert-Module and AssertProperties().
• DnsRecordNs
  • Added new resource to manage NS records
• DnsRecordNsScoped
  • Added new resource to manage scoped NS records
• DnsServerDsSetting
  • Added new resource to manage AD-integrated DNS settings
• DnsServerSettingLegacy
  • A new resource to manage legacy DNS Server settings that are not supported
    by any DNS Server PowerShell cmdlet.

Changed

• DnsServerDsc
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Renamed the module to DnsServerDsc (issue #179).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed the prefix 'x' from all MOF-based resources
    (issue #179).
  • Renamed a MOF-based resource to use the prefix 'DSC' (issue #225).
  • Fix stub Get-DnsServerResourceRecord so it throws if it is not mocked
    correctly (issue #204).
  • Switch the order in the deploy pipeline so that creating the GitHub release
    is made after a successful release.
  • Updated stub functions to throw if they are used (when missing a mock in
    unit test) (issue #235).
• ResourceBase
  • Added support for inherit localization strings and also able to override
    a localization string that exist in a base class.
  • Moved more logic from the resources into the base class for the method
    Test(), Get(), and Set(). The base class now have three methods
    AssertProperties(), Modify(), and GetCurrentState() where the
    two latter ones must be overridden by a resource if calling the base
    methods Set() and Get().
  • Moved the Assert-Module from the constructor to a new method Assert()
    that is called from Get(), Test(), and Set(). The method Assert()
    also calls the method AssertProperties(). The method Assert() is not
    meant to be overridden, but can if there is a reason not to run
    Assert-Module and or AssertProperties().
• Integration tests
  • Added commands in the DnsRecord* integration tests to wait for the LCM
    before moving to the next test.
• DnsServerCache
  • Moved to the same coding pattern as DnsServerRecursion.
• DnsServerEDns
  • Moved to the same coding pattern as DnsServerRecursion.
• DnsServerScavenging
  • Moved to the same coding pattern as DnsServerRecursion.
• DnsServerSetting
  • Changed to use Get-DnsServerSetting and Set-DnsServerSetting
    (issue #185).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The property DisableAutoReverseZones have been renamed
    to DisableAutoReverseZone.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The property ListenAddresses have been renamed
    to ListeningIPAddress.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The property AllowUpdate was changed to a boolean
    value ($true or $false) since that is what the cmdlet Set-DnsServerSetting
    is expecting (related to issue #101).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The property EnableDnsSec was changed to a boolean
    value ($true or $false) since that is what the cmdlet Set-DnsServerSetting
    is expecting.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The property ForwardDelegations was changed to a boolean
    value ($true or $false) since that is what the cmdlet Set-DnsServerSetting
    is expecting.

    localization string file it will override the localization string key
    in any base class.
  • Fixed code coverage in the pipeline (issue #246).
• ResourceBase
  • Added new method Assert() tha calls Assert-Module and AssertProperties().

Changed

• DnsServerDsc
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Renamed the module to DnsServerDsc (issue #179).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Removed the prefix 'x' from all MOF-based resources
    (issue #179).
  • Renamed a MOF-based resource to use the prefix 'DSC' (issue #225).
  • Fix stub Get-DnsServerResourceRecord so it throws if it is not mocked
    correctly (issue #204).
  • Switch the order in the deploy pipeline so that creating the GitHub release
    is made after a successful release.
  • Updated stub functions to throw if they are used (when missing a mock in
    unit test) (issue #235).
• ResourceBase
  • Added support for inherit localization strings and also able to override
    a localization string that exist in a base class.
  • Moved more logic from the resources into the base class for the method
    Test(), Get(), and Set(). The base class now have three methods
    AssertProperties(), Modify(), and GetCurrentState() where the
    two latter ones must be overridden by a resource if calling the base
    methods Set() and Get().
  • Moved the Assert-Module from the constructor to a new method Assert()
    that is called from Get(), Test(), and Set(). The method Assert()
    also calls the method AssertProperties(). The method Assert() is not
    meant to be overridden, but can if there is a reason not to run
    Assert-Module and or AssertProperties().
• Integration tests
  • Added commands in the DnsRecord* integration tests to wait for the LCM
    before moving to the next test.
• DnsServerCache
  • Moved to the same coding pattern as DnsServerRecursion.
• DnsServerEDns
  • Moved to the same coding pattern as DnsServerRecursion.
• DnsServerScavenging
  • Moved to the same coding pattern as DnsServerRecursion.
