v4.33.0-beta1 (Please test if you use DS records!)

[tlimoncelli]

Greetings DNS fans!

This is a pre-release. If you use DS records, please test this extensively.

The DS record type has been rewritten to use the new RecordConfigv2 struct. It should be entirely backwards compatible with older providers. However, to be extra cautious, I'm releasing this as a pre-release.

It currently passes all integration tests on the platforms I have access to.

• Test with providers not listed here: https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/actions/runs/21334415887
• Please test in your environment (with caution!). Please use preview first. Try deleting, creating, and modifying DS records.

This is on a tight schedule. If I don't hear of any show-stopper bugs, it will be merged on Monday, Feb 2, 2026.

Thanks!
