A token for one view of a linked zone (an ACME token for external)
couldn't add records: a new record was shared and reached the other
view. A new name and type is now local when the user may not change it
in the other views. A zone name in several views resolves to the only
one the user can see, and the error no longer names views they can't.
GET /views lists the views a user sees zones in (name, colour, count;
limited) without views:read.

Auto-PTR (and --ptr) changed PTR records in every linked view, whatever
view the address record was in. ptrSync now compares each touched A/AAAA
set before and after, per view, and changes only that view's reverse
zone. PTR records in linked reverse zones are local (fill too); a shared
PTR set is made local in each view before one view changes it.
Deleting a linked zone's local records no longer brings the shared ones
back into the view: the name and type are gone from that view and the
other views keep theirs, local to each. Share still restores.

- A zone update that changes nothing stages nothing: saving a zone's
settings unchanged says "Nothing changed" instead of staging an empty
change. Staging operations that change nothing is a 400 "nothing to
change".
- The settings form showed the SOA MNAME without its final dot, which the
server reads as relative to the zone, so saving wg.adbraun.lol turned
ns1.adbraun.lol. into ns1.adbraun.lol.wg.adbraun.lol. Names outside the
zone keep the dot, and MNAME is only sent when edited.

Suggestions split into networks that are yours (private IPv4 /24, ULA /48, an IPv6 /48 this server has an address in), which Create all creates, and public addresses (/32 or /128) to create only if they are yours or dismiss. A view can turn suggestions off, which also keeps it out of choosing a reverse zone's view (database version 13). A zone created inside another in the same view takes the parent's records under it; a delegation and its glue stay, a linked parent keeps them with a warning.

Missing reverse zones are suggested for the private views' A and AAAA records (/24 for private IPv4, /32 for a public address, /48 for IPv6) and created filled with PTR records (jarl zone suggest-reverse, the Zones page). zone create --fill and zone fill-ptr add the PTRs a reverse zone lacks; a reverse zone created without a view goes to the private view using its addresses. Per zone, auto_ptr keeps the PTR records of A and AAAA records in step on every change (database version 12). Zone commands take a network.

jarld checks the DoT and DoH listeners every 10 minutes as a client would (page, dashboard, jarl encrypted-dns health, jarl_encrypted_dns_up). The Compare views tab and jarl zone diff show what differs between a zone's views, with Use this version. --local works on unlinked zones. A changed certificates.dir is followed by encrypted DNS's tls statements. Sharing an already shared version replaces other views' overrides.

Ticking update PTR alone did nothing: the web UI didn't send it, and the engine only acted when the name or address changed. Alone it now adds a missing PTR record (or enables it); for linked zones every linked view's reverse zone counts.

Zones of the same name in different views can be linked. Shared records
are kept in step: a change in one view reaches the others in the same
changeset, as explicit operations, so the diff, permission checks,
history and undo cover every view. Records local to a view override the
shared records of that name and type there; removing the override brings
the shared ones back, and sharing a view's version makes it every view's.
Each zone keeps its own options, serial and file.
Linking existing zones changes no answer: what is the same everywhere
becomes shared, the rest stays local. Unlinking keeps every record, all
local. ACME challenges are written once per link, and --view all changes
a link once. jarl zone link/unlink, zone create --link-with, record
--local/--shared, LINK column, web UI controls, POST /zones/{zone}/link
and /unlink, validation checks linked_*, store migration 11, docs and
e2e.

Jarl works out which views are reachable from the internet (match-clients
ending in a catch-all, not private-looking addresses: an internal view of a
global IPv6 prefix is still yours; a server without views: open allow-query
and a non-private listen address), with a per-view override (schema 9), and
checks public ones: rate limiting, open resolver, minimal-any, cache
snooping, open NOTIFY and transfers, version and host name, management
interfaces. Fixes are staged like any change, including rate limiting from
ISC's example in log-only mode with the secondaries exempt, then enforcing.
named logs what rate limiting limits (or would, in log-only mode, where its
counters don't move) as query-errors; Jarl routes those lines to its log
and counts them (rrl breakdown, ratelimited top lists, Prometheus
jarl_ratelimit_logged_total), shown on the new Exposure page.
A change that newly opens a public view up must be confirmed (accept_risk,
--accept-risk, a checkbox on the Changes page; 409 confirm_risk
otherwise). Findings can be acknowledged with a reason and stay visible as
info. GET /exposure, POST /exposure/fix|ack|unack, jarl exposure,
docs/exposure.md.
Also fixes query statistics skipping TSIG-signed queries ("IP#port/key
NAME" in named's log).

Client groups put devices (addresses, networks, or ACLs of them) at a
blocking step: off (only your rules), normal (the default), or steps
added above it, each including the lists of the steps below. Lists
start at a step. In each view, a gate policy zone in front of a step's
lists lets the devices below that step through (rpz-client-ip triggers
with rpz-passthru), so every list is still loaded once. The IPv6 part
of a gate leaves the IPv4-mapped range out: named matches IPv4 clients
as ::ffff:a.b.c.d.
Web UI: a Devices panel on the Blocking page and a step on each list.
CLI: jarl block step, jarl block group, jarl blocklist --step. API:
/blocking/steps, /blocking/groups. Database schema 8.
Also: copying the state kept empty lists as empty (not nil), so
reverting a changeset no longer adds restore operations for unchanged
blocklists, rules and views.

Added:
- Server statistics: named's memory and CPU (from /proc), cache size,
sockets and client counts against their limits (statistics channel,
rndc status), host memory and load, and free disk space. Memory and
CPU are kept over time as gauges (sum and sample count, averaged in
timelines). Statistics page Server section, jarl stats server,
GET /stats/server.
- jarl record add|set|delete|disable|enable --view a,b | all: the same
change in each view, applied as one changeset.
- Blocking can be paused until resumed (jarl block pause indefinitely,
"Until I resume", {"indefinitely": true}).
Changed:
- List options (allow-transfer, forwarders, ...) get their braces added
when given without them.
- The dashboard lists named-checkconf's warnings about the running
configuration; the CLI prints them after an apply.
- Stats page: tile and card rows fill their width, and the queries and
failed answers charts share margins so their time axes line up.
- Dashboard: options have their own tile.
- 24-hour times in the web UI.

A disabled zone stays in Jarl with its records, options and history,
still editable, but named doesn't load it; enabling it serves it as it is
then. Signed zones, and zones another view shares, can't be disabled.
jarl zone disable|enable, the zone page's Disable/Enable button.

jarl block pause|resume (and the Blocking page) lets every name through
for a while; jarld resumes on time. The lists stay loaded: the rules zone
just passes everything. Statistics gain the clients with the most blocked
queries and blocked queries on the queries chart. The view choice in the
blocking forms is a dropdown.

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.

A disabled record stays in Jarl with its ID, TTL and comment but is
left out of the zone; the zone file lists it as a comment. Web UI
toggle, jarl record disable|enable, record.disable|enable operations
and API endpoints. Database schema 5.

- 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 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
