Release v1.3.1

Minor Release

This is a minor release with new features, some performance improvements, and various bug fixes.

Added

• Support the hosts file as a source for resolving hostnames.

• Including the client's IP address when ctrld is an upstream of dnsmasq.

Improved

• Making PTR lookup failures less noisy for users.
• Upgrading quic-go to v0.38.0
• ctrld now generates a working default configuration in both cd and local mode.
• Using /etc/version to detect a UniFi Gateway.
• The general performance and stability of ctrld:
  • All upstreams are monitored to prevent high resource consumptions in case of outage.
  • Guarding against DNS loops.
• Reporting error when --cd/--cd-org is set to empty string.

Fixed

• Service restart loop in EdgeOS.
• Using Control D bootstrap DNS for the OS resolver, fixed #59.
