2.05

NOTICE: this version requires updating your SQL tables!

mysql -u nictool -p nictool < sql/upgrade/update_v2_05.sql

• abstracted NicToolServer::Zone::Record::Sanity::new_or_edit_basic_verify into a suite of functions instead of one really big long nasty hard to read and poorly documented one
• nt_export_djb updates to support SRV records
• nameserver/install.pl, rewrote, prompts for all required values with reasonable defaults. Setting up a nameserver export process is now much easier.
• NicToolServer::Zone::get_zone_records: patch from slink, see forum thread
• nt_export_djb.pl - provides better error messages if your ns export isn't set up right
• bin/install_deps.sh - tries to install perl modules NicTool requires

2.04

- added "use Apache2::SOAP to nictoolserver.conf (mps)
- djbdjb/nameserver/install.pl updates (rl)

2.03

- NicToolServer/Zone/Record/Sanity.pm - allow / character in TXT records

2.02

- NicToolServer/Response.pm - added mod_perl 2 check and use content_type instead of send_http_header if mod_perl 2.

2.01

- Added Copyright and Affero GPL license text to all source files
- Added files LICENSE & COPYING
- Updated files to reflect version 2.01
- sys/djb - make clean now cleans up nameserver/sample/nt_export_djb*
- consistent password among the variety of config files, now you can grep for it and change it everywhere at once.
- Added support for TXT records, now you can set up SPF records for email

2.00-rc1

-Protocol version is now specified via the "nt_protocol_version" parameter. This is an optional parameter. If specified NicToolServer will require that the version string is allowed
-Protocol version changed to 1.0. Only this version is supported in NicToolServer version 2.00.

Permissions

Entirely new permissions system.
The affected API functions are:
new_user, edit_user,get_user, new_group,edit_group,get_group
Nearly all actual function calls are affected, because certain actions may
not be allowed depending on a user's permissions.

Delegation

Zones and Zone Records can be delegated to sub groups with a certain set of permissions. (Affected API functions : delegate_zones, delegate_zone_records, edit_zone_delegation, edit_zone_record_delegation, delete_zone_delegation, delete_zone_record_delegation, get_delegated_zones, get_delegated_zone_records, get_zone_delegates, get_zone_record_delegates).

Usable Nameservers

Each Group now contains a list of Nameserver objects which are in effect delegated to the Group. Zones within the Group (and subgroups of the Group) can be published to any of these Nameservers.

API changes:

get_user - 'nt_user_id' now only parameter
save_user - DEPRECATED (see new_user and edit_user)
new_user - creates new user (params 'nt_group_id','username','email' required)
can have all permissions specifications or "inherit_group_permissions"==1 for inherited. edit_user - modifies existing user (params nt_user_id required)
save_group - DEPRECATED (see new_group edit_group)
new_group - creates new group (params 'nt_group_id' 'name' required. can have 'usable_nameservers' list of nameserver ids.)
edit_group- param nt_group_id required (can have usable_nameservers)
delete_group - only 'nt_group_id' parameter reqd.
save_zone - DEPRECATED (see new_zone edit_zone)
new_zone - 'nt_group_id' and 'zone' required (optional 'nameservers' list of nameservers to publish to)
edit_zone - nt_zone_id required (optional 'nameservers' list of nameserver ids)
- parameter "deleted" = '0' means undelete a deleted zone
get_zone_application_log REMOVED (it was never implemented but was enabled)
save_zone_record - DEPRECATED (use new_zone_record and edit_zone_record)
new_zone_record - 'nt_zone_id','name','ttl','address' are required
edit_zone_record - only 'nt_zone_record_id' is required

save_nameserver - DEPRECATED (use new_nameserver and edit_nameserver)
new_nameserver - 'nt_nameserver_id','address','name','service_type','output_format' are required
edit_nameserver - only 'nt_zone_record_id' is required
get_group_zones - parameter "search_deleted" = '1' means only look for deleted zones with the specified properties
