jarld downloads blocklists (Adblock, hosts or plain domains), checks them
daily and reloads named only when a list changed; your own block and
allow rules take precedence, and the most specific rule wins. Lists and
rules apply per view (default: every view that offers recursion). Web UI
Blocking page with name checks, jarl blocklist and jarl block, the
/blocking API, blocked counts in the statistics. Database schema 6.

Users can set up an authenticator app from their account page; login
then asks for a code after the password, with one-time recovery codes
as a fallback. Sensitive actions (tokens, user changes, 2FA resets)
need a code from the last 5 minutes. totp.require (none/admins/all)
forces setup, and admins can reset a user's 2FA from the UI, the jarl
CLI or jarld on the server. The dashboard and jarl status flag users
missing 2FA and a shared "admin" account still in use.

- Daily database backups: jarl-backup.timer runs 'jarld backup', which
writes jarl-<UTC time>.db into backup.dir, checks it before naming it,
and prunes by the time in the name while always keeping the newest
keep_at_least. New backup: section in jarl.yaml; the dashboard and
'jarl status' show the newest backup and warn when it is stale or
failed. The Debian package enables the timer.
- 'jarld restore [FILE | latest]': checks the backup, shows it next to
the current database, keeps the current one aside and records the
restore. 'jarld serve' holds a database lock, so a restore can't run
under a live jarld and two jarlds can't share a database.
- Token expiry warnings from 14 days ahead: dashboard, token lists, a
daily log line, and a CLI warning via the Jarl-Token-Expires header;
'jarl token list --expiring'.
- 'jarl zone serials' and the zone page's Name servers tab: compare the
serial on a primary zone's secondaries (NS records, also-notify) or a
secondary zone's primaries with this server's.
- 'jarl zone delegation': for zones on the internet, check the parent's
delegation and glue against the zone; an undelegated zone gets a note.
- Server: Jarl/<version> header; CLI exit code 2 for failed checks.

The dashboard counted every open changeset, including empty ones and
other users', so "Pending changes (1 open)" led to an empty Changes page.
It now counts the user's own changesets that contain changes, the status
API's open_changesets skips empty ones, and in review mode a draft created
for an edit the server rejects is discarded instead of left open.
docs/concepts.md: zone types, a new zone's name servers and glue, reverse
zones for any network, and dynamic updates versus API tokens and TSIG keys.

Jarl keeps a BIND 9.20 server's whole configuration (views, ACLs, TSIG
keys, zones of every type, records, named.conf options) in SQLite and
renders named.conf, keys.conf and zone files from it.
Every change goes through one changeset pipeline: whole-configuration
validation, named-checkconf -z and named-checkzone in a staging
directory, atomic install, rndc reconfig/reload, serial verification
with rndc zonestatus, and rollback if named does not load the change.
Changes apply one at a time by default or are bundled and applied
together. Applied changesets can be reverted.
- jarld: the daemon with the REST API and an embedded web UI, plus import,
adopt, check, resync, backup and local user recovery commands
- jarl: the CLI, including ACME DNS-01 hooks for certbot and acme.sh
- users with argon2id passwords and CSRF-protected sessions; hashed API
tokens with granular grants and roles; an audit log
- systemd unit, sysusers.d/tmpfiles.d files, Makefile
- unit tests, integration tests against a real named, scripts/e2e.sh
- docs/ guides, README and CHANGELOG
