v0.7.0

[Revertron]

New

This release presents two main changes, and is partially incompatible with previous versions.

Decoupling domain renewal from domain records change

What does it mean? Fast records change. How? From the start any change in domain records (remining of the domain) was counted as domain renewal. This approach gave us one advantage: simpler code. But it was hard to change DNS records fast. We couldn't lower the difficulty for the remining because the squatters will renew all their domains very easy.
Therefore, I've decided to disconnect domain renewal from domain changes. From version 0.7.0 the difficulty of domain records change will be lower (from 23 to 16) depending on time of last change. If you change records often you will "pay" more, because blockchain must remain smaller. An if you need to renew domain you will tick the checkbox and remine the domain using max difficulty of 23 bits.

Domain nameservers support

We had supported domain records of type NS from the start, but it didn't matter before. Now, if you add NS-records to your domain (and some "glue-records") you will be able to manage your domain (and subdomains) records on your own authoritative nameservers!

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Updated some dependencies, added support for *BSD systems (thanks to @la-ninpre).
