Changed

• xDnsServer
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Set the minimum required PowerShell version to 5.0 to support classes used in the DnsRecordBase-derived resources.
  • Resolve style guideline violations for hashtables
  • Update pipeline files.
  • Renamed the default branch to main (issue #131).
  • Uses PublishPipelineArtifact in Azure Pipelines pipeline.
  • Unit tests are now run in PowerShell 7 in the Azure Pipelines
    pipeline (issue #160).
  • Merged the historic changelog into CHANGELOG.md (issue #163).
  • Only add required role in integration tests pipeline.
  • Updated the pipeline to use new deploy tasks.
  • Revert back to using the latest version of module Sampler for the pipeline (issue #211).
• xDnsRecordSrv
  • Now uses [CimInstance]::new() both in the resource code and the resource
    unit test to clone the existing DNS record instead of using the method
    Clone() that does not exist in PowerShell 7.
• xDnsServerSetting
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The mandatory parameter was replaced by the mandatory
    parameter DnsServer. This prevents the resource from being used twice
    in the same configuration using the same value for the parameter DnsServer
    (issue #156).
• xDnsServerDiagnostics
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The mandatory parameter was replaced by the mandatory
    parameter DnsServer. This prevents the resource from being used twice
    in the same configuration using the same value for the parameter DnsServer
    (issue #157).
• xDnsServerPrimaryZone
  • Now the property Name is always returned from Get-TargetResource
    since it is a Key property.
• xDnsServerForwarder
  • When providing an empty collection the resource will enforce that no
    forwarders are present.
• DnsRecordSrv
  • Changed logic for calculating the record's hostname

Removed

• xDnsServer
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The DSC resource xDnsARecord was removed and are replaced
    by the DSC resource xDnsRecord.
  • Removing resource parameter information from README.md in favor of
    GitHub repository wiki.
  • Remove helper function Remove-CommonParameter in favor of the one in
    module DscResource.Common (issue #166).
  • Remove helper function ConvertTo-CimInstance in favor of the one in
    module DscResource.Common (issue #167).
  • Remove helper function ConvertTo-HashTable in favor of the one in
    module DscResource.Common (issue #168).
• xDnServerSetting
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The properties LogIPFilterList, LogFilePath, LogFileMaxSize,
    and EventLogLevel have been removed. Use the resource xDnsServerDiagnostics
    with the properties FilterIPAddressList, LogFilePath, MaxMBFileSize,
    and EventLogLevel respectively to enforce these settings (issue #190).
    This is done in preparation to support more settings through the cmdlet
    Get-DnsServerSetting for the resource xDnServerSetting, and these
    values are not available through that cmdlet.
