Loop version 1.99.13 is available

May 12, 2026

Loop version 1.99.13 has been released (tagged at 1.99.13.20260511071536.f623ecd182). This is in a series of releases made from the 1.99 development branch.

The following are release notes for Loop 1.99.13:

  • RT1907: Refactor all of the TSIG algorithm parsing code: this change makes Loop use a single consistent set of TSIG algorithms, and also adds support for HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, HMAC-SHA512 to the DHCP DDNS code
  • RT1779: Fix statistics system test failure on AlmaLinux 10
  • RT1896: Stop using DNS_EDNSOPTIONS to size arrays: this was a dangerous pattern that could cause assertion failures if code was not very correctly written for it. DNS_EDNSOPTIONS has been removed entirely and the message generation code was updated.
  • RT1902: Change default logging configuration in named.conf(5)

Some more development releases will be made from this branch until Loop 2.0 is ready to be branched. You can read about Loop branches and version numbering.
