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).

A web changeset with a staged record delete could not be applied after
the record was deleted elsewhere (e.g. with the CLI), and the error only
said "record N does not exist", so it was hard to find the operation to
remove. A delete of a record that is already gone is now a no-op with a
warning. Other operations that no longer apply fail with their number and
summary (op_summary in the API), and the Changes page marks that row and
offers to remove it from the error.

New metrics: section (enabled, listen, allow, token). /metrics is served on
the main listeners, the local socket (root and jarld's user) and optional
metrics-only addresses; a scrape needs an allowed address or the bearer
token. Exports health (named up, problems, drift, backups, blocklists,
DNSSEC phases, token expiry) and, with stats on, named's and Jarl's query
counters since jarld started plus named's process and cache gauges.

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.

The Blocking page shows how many queries each blocklist, and the rules
together, blocked in the last 24 hours (with statistics on). The + CNAME
button on A/AAAA rows shows when the row is hovered or focused, and
always on touch screens.

The unit's RestrictAddressFamilies lacked AF_NETLINK, which listing the
host's addresses needs, so the name server checks didn't know this
server's own addresses: the Name servers tab queried them like another
server's, and the delegation check didn't sign them with the view key.
Allow AF_NETLINK, and fall back to /proc/net without it.

Each view's match-clients starts with "key jarl-view-NAME" (after
"!key" for the views listed after it), so a query signed with a view's
key lands in that view from any address. The secrets are derived from a
random seed in Jarl's database. The delegation check signs its queries
to this server's own addresses with the key of the zone's view: before,
they got whichever view matched the server's address, usually internal.
jarl view key / GET /views/{id}/key show a key for dig -k (tsig:write,
audited). jarl-view- key names are reserved; the importer drops view
keys from a configuration Jarl wrote.

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.

jarl block pause|resume (and the Blocking page) lets every name through

Every DNS query the name server checks send is now reported from
exchangeHostPort as a dig command line with a short answer (addresses,
referral, DS, NXDOMAIN) and its round-trip time; the serials check's SOA
queries keep their own events with the server's result. The delegation
check streams with ?stream=1 like /serials, and the Name servers tab
shows its queries as they happen, keeps its result and follows a running
check when you come back.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The zone's Name servers tab no longer waits for the other servers before
showing: it lists each query as a dig command line with a waiting
counter, fills in the answers as they arrive, then shows the result with
the queries under "Queries sent". Results (serials and delegation) are
kept for 10 minutes so revisiting the tab is instant; "Check again" asks
anew, and a check keeps running when the tab is left.
GET /zones/{zone}/serials?stream=1 streams the queries as
newline-delimited JSON (nscheck.Checker.Watch); without it the endpoint
is unchanged.

make deb versions a build that isn't a release after the last tag:
0.2.0~rc.1+git3.gca0f148, plus the build time (.m<UTC time>) with
uncommitted changes. apt sorts it after that RC and before the next, so
installing it over the RC or an older build is an upgrade and needs no
--reinstall. mkdeb.sh removes older packages of the same architecture
from dist/ so the install globs match one package.

Only a release build (the commit tagged v<VERSION>, unchanged) gives a
version number. Others print 'dev <commit> (3 commits after v0.2.0-rc.1)',

without git says '(source build)'. The CLI's User-Agent and the footer's

The zone page's breadcrumb (Zones › view) linked the view to a filtered
zone list while the view link below it opened the view. It is now a
single "← Zones" link back to the list with its filters, and a changeset
has "← History". View links carry where they came from, so the views page
offers "← example.org (external)" or "← Zones" (only the UI's own #/
addresses are accepted).
Switching a zone's tabs no longer blanks the page: the header and tabs
show at once and the previous tab stays, faded, until the next has
loaded. The router shows "Loading…" only for pages that take a while.

Pre-releases (versions with a hyphen) now upload their .debs to the
"testing" distribution instead of "stable", so servers following stable
never get an RC from apt upgrade. An RC can take its release notes from
its final version's section or Unreleased; the workflow checks the notes
with 'gitea-release.sh notes'. Also fix publishing RCs, whose .deb names
carry the Debian version (0.2.0~rc.1) and were rejected.

The version moves from the header to a "Powered by Jarl" footer. A build
of a release tag (HEAD tagged v<VERSION>, no tracked changes; the release

The view shown in the zone list and on the zone page now links to that
view. The zone page and changeset page get breadcrumbs, and the zone list
keeps its filters in the address so going back restores them. Views can
be given a colour (Views > Edit, `jarl view color`, PUT /views/{id}/color)
so zones of the same view are easy to spot; the colour is UI-only, kept
outside changesets, and needs no deploy.

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.

On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu machine it installs BIND and the build tools

make deb now builds two packages: jarl-cli (the CLI, its completion and
the ACME hooks, no scripts) and jarl (the server), which depends on
jarl-cli of the same version.
Pushing a v* tag runs .gitea/workflows/release.yml: it tests, builds the
tarballs, the CLI for Linux, macOS and Windows (make cli-dist) and the
.debs for amd64 and arm64, then scripts/gitea-release.sh creates the
Gitea release and uploads the .debs to the Debian package registry, so
servers install and upgrade with apt. The stats package's inode lookup
is split by OS so the CLI builds for Windows.

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).

- 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 header now shows the login page's wordmark letters (without the rule)
instead of "Jarl" set in Cinzel, so the bundled Cinzel font, its preload
and its licence stanza in the .deb's copyright file are removed: the web
UI needs no web font.
The README opens with the login page's banner, the logo above the
wordmark (artwork/banner.svg). scripts/banner.py builds it from the web
UI's logo.js and brand.js, with light and dark colors, and logo.py runs
it after tracing the logo.

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.

jarld also listens on /run/jarl/jarl.sock (socket in jarl.yaml). Requests
on it from root or jarld's own user need no token and act as an
administrator; the kernel's SO_PEERCRED says who is connecting, and
anyone else must send a token. The jarl CLI uses the socket when no server
is configured, or with -s local, so 'sudo jarl status' works on the server
with nothing set up and a lost token or password never locks root out.
Changes are audited under the system user's name via "socket".
The systemd unit creates /run/jarl (0750). Socket paths over 107 bytes
are refused with a clear message. The docs explain the socket and what
happens when a token is revoked.
