- 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.

The tab picked the first other view in view order, so a zone linked with
one view opened compared with an unrelated one.

The Compare views tab and jarl zone diff compare a zone with the same zone in other views from the view you're on: a summary per view, what is answered differently (Use this everywhere), the names only some views have (Add to VIEW), and how many are the same. One name can be compared (jarl zone diff ZONE NAME [TYPE], a Compare button per record). The CLI prints one line per record, cut to the terminal (--wide shows it whole); the web UI cuts long values with the whole one on hover. GET /zones/{zone}/compare returns these sections, with ?with, ?name and ?type.

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.

The "linked with" badge links each view's zone (the API's zones carry links: id and view). The Link dialog lists the views one per row, with record count and any link they already have; nothing is ticked, Link waits for a choice and names every zone that will join.

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.

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.

Views open a page like a zone's, with Settings, Options and Zones tabs
(and New zone in that view); the Views page lists and orders them. A
and AAAA records get a + CNAME button that fills in the add form.

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.
Database schema 7.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Disabled records are hatched and badged next to their name. Checking a
name blocked by your own rule for that name offers to remove the rule,
instead of an allow rule that would be refused as a duplicate.

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.

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.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.

- 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
