Follow new updates and improvements to ctrlDNS.

October 24th, 2025

Improved

The past week weโ€™ve made the following changes.

๐Ÿ”ง Improvements

  • Instead of showing an error when submitting (or more realistically pasting) domain names containing upper case characters (e.g. in CNAME records), we now automatically convert the domain name to lower case

  • We have improved one of our internal monitoring subsystems allowing us to respond to incidents faster and more effectively

October 17th, 2025

Improved

Fixed

Since the last update weโ€™ve been mainly focused on improvements under-the-hood, but we do have some improvements to the new zone log weโ€™ve recently introduced.

๐Ÿ› Bug fixes

  • We fixed an issue where record additions were being processed as if they were deletions. This caused deletions to incorrectly appear in the synchronization log entry

๐Ÿ”ง Improvements

  • We no longer display a record modification in the synchronization log entry when an internal property is updated

  • Small UI tweaks in the zone log

October 3rd, 2025

New

The past week weโ€™ve made the following changes.

๐Ÿš€ New features

  • Weโ€™ve added an icon and label to the various zone collections indicating if the Realtime Register zone uses premium DNS

  • We have massively overhauled the zone log

    • The page load time has improved significantly, the page now loads almost instantly

    • Detailed diff views are now available, showing you exactly which record and which value were changed

    • We have removed the superfluous โ€œzone is up to dateโ€ entry to make it easier to find relevant events

๐Ÿ› Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue importing Vimexx zones due to Vimexx API changes

  • Fixed an issue where zone invites could not be accepted under certain circumstances

September 15th, 2025

New

Improved

Fixed

The past week weโ€™ve made the following changes.

๐Ÿš€ New features

  • Invites to a zone will now be deleted automatically when they have been inactive for 7 days or more

  • We no longer allow uppercase characters in domain name form fields. This is only an issue for Realtime Register zones, but generally speaking this is undesirable

  • We no longer allow hidden Unicode characters in form fields. This usually happens when copy+pasting DNS records from other places and always causes opaque synchronization problems

๐Ÿ› Bug fixes

  • Fix for the expired trial page crashing

  • Fixed an issue where zones would disappear from the zone overview page when you delete a customer to which the zone was added

๐Ÿ”ง Improvements

  • We have improved the locale detection

  • Many under-the-hood changes to keep ctrlDNS safe and up-to-date

September 3rd, 2025

Fixed

  • We have made a slight change in the ordering of processing changes with Exonet to improve synchronization reliability

  • Fixed an issue where deleting a zone in ctrlDNS would crash

August 28th, 2025

Fixed

  1. Fixed an issue where ctrlDNS contact details would still be shown in the Userflow widget for whitelabel environments

  2. Fixed an issue where sending an invite to a customer would crash
