ACLs, views' match lists, options with address match lists and blocking
client groups take ranges such as 10.0.10.101-10.0.10.199 or
2001:db8::100-2001:db8::1ff (negated, or with spaces around the dash, too).
Jarl stores the range as written and writes the fewest prefixes that cover
exactly that range to named.conf, with the range as a comment. New package
internal/iprange; namedconf gets an AMRange element (a range used to parse
as an ACL name), ExpandRanges and statement comments. Mistakes are refused
when entered, validation sees what ranges cover, and IPv6 ranges in the
IPv4-mapped space get a warning. The web UI shows what a range becomes
while typing (GET /catalog/ranges).

Options of a block (server options, a view, a zone) are listed and
written grouped by topic, alphabetical within a group, so the same
option is in the same place everywhere. Top-level statements keep the
order they were added in.
named.conf diffs add the enclosing blocks to each hunk header, like
git's function context: @@ -50,6 +49,8 @@ view "internal" {.

Zones get a DNSSEC setting: named signs them with BIND's default (or a
custom) dnssec-policy and inline signing, with keys in a per-view key
directory. Jarl shows the keys, the DS record and when it is safe to
publish it, checks the parent's DS records (check-ds, which also tells
named), and refuses steps that would break a signed domain: switching
straight to unsigned, finishing a turn-off too early, deleting or moving
a signed zone, TTLs above max-zone-ttl. Turning off goes through the
insecure policy; wipe starts over once the parent has no DS.
Backups store the DNSSEC keys and restore puts them back for named; the
backup unit gets CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH to read them. Jarl raises a zone's
serial above named's whenever it writes an older one (after a restore).
The serials check compares the signed serial.
With a Porkbun API key in jarl.yaml, the registrar's name servers, glue
records and DS records can be shown and changed, each change checked
first (dry run, force to override).

The logo was an 880 KB SVG wrapping a 1254px PNG, downloaded again on
every page load. Keep that PNG as the master (artwork/logo.png) and have
scripts/logo.py trace it with potrace into a 6 KB logo.svg (favicon,
README) and logo.js, which brand.js draws inline in the header and on the
login page so the logo arrives with the page. Remove the unused
logo-white.svg.
Static files now carry content ETags, so reloads get 304s instead of
downloading the UI again.

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.

- CLI: name several servers and groups in the config file; select them
with -s/--server NAME|GROUP|all|URL or JARL_SERVER. A command aimed at
several servers is dry-run on all of them first and only runs if every
one accepts it. Named servers always use their own token.
- Reverse zones: /32 and /128 get single-address zones; networks between
octet or nibble boundaries (e.g. a /22) are covered by several zones
created together, from the CLI and the web UI.
- Fix: under jarl.service's RestrictSUIDSGID, creating a view directory
failed on chmod with the setgid bit; fall back to the permission bits.
- Web UI: the review/live switch is a small header button, and the
pending-changes bar only shows when there are pending changes.
- TSIG key wording; the keys page points to restricted API tokens.
- Docs: several servers (cli.md), a secondary server (operations.md),
tokens vs TSIG keys (permissions.md); CHANGELOG.

- New zone dialog: choose Domain or Reverse zone. Reverse zones are
created from a network and their name is generated; both kinds show the
exact zone name and flag likely mistakes (addresses or URLs as names,
host-like names, duplicates in the view, parent/child zones, networks
off the octet/nibble boundaries) before anything is submitted.
- Record form: clears every field but the type after an add; shows the
record exactly as it will be stored and warns about unqualified names.
In reverse zones it takes an address, defaults to PTR, suggests host
names of A/AAAA records with that address and warns about a second PTR;
the record list shows addresses.
- Address match lists (options, view match lists, ACL elements) offer the
existing ACLs, TSIG keys and built-ins as one-click suggestions and
flag unknown names.
- Server: in reverse zones a record can be named by its address, and a
PTR target like nas.example.com without the final dot is read as the
full host name (a bare label is refused). Warnings noticed while parsing
record data reach the result again.
- Fixes: brand link hover underline, the dashboard's "New zone" link
opening the dialog twice.

- jarl zone list showed only primary zones. zone create binds its --type
flag (default "primary") to the same variable as list's --type, so the
default leaked into the list filter and hid hint, secondary and forward
zones. list now has its own variable. TestListQueries runs list
commands against a fake server and checks the filters they send.
- named-checkconf/named-checkzone messages are classified by the tool's
exit code: on success, everything printed is a warning. Warnings such
as 'both "recursion no;" and "allow-recursion" active' were shown as
errors. The CLI, jarld check and the web UI now label them as warnings
and skip the routine "loaded serial" lines.
- The zone_outside_view error points at --adopt-zones.
- docs/views.md: step-by-step split DNS for a server that has no views
yet, tested on a copy of a stock Ubuntu 26.04 setup. Linked from the
README, concepts and validation docs.

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
