The CoreDNS team has released CoreDNS-1.6.8.
Again a small release with some nice improvements in the forward plugin, and overall polish. See “Noteworthy Changes” for more detail.
Note that 1.7.0 will contain a bunch of backward incompatible changes: the federation plugin will be full removed and the metrics name will be changed to inline with the naming recommendation from the Prometheus project.
