Product Updates

A record of improvements, new capabilities, and platform changes — most recent first.

v6.2.0 March 9, 2026 Build 20260309.1

Zone Analyzer

  • Visual Verification — Screenshot previews are now available for individual A, AAAA, and CNAME rows. Previews are opt-in per row to prevent large-batch submissions.
  • Improved parsing reliability for zone files with inconsistent TTL formatting and multi-line records.

Domain Explorer

  • Deep scan mode — Extends the Standard scan with wildcard probing and additional record types beyond the apex record set.
  • Sankey graph now reflects live finding connections when "Show findings" is enabled.

Platform

  • Server-side result caching extended to 30-minute TTL for popular domains, reducing resolver load.
  • Dark mode contrast improvements across results panels and badge elements.
  • Theme preference now persists reliably across page reloads and navigation.
v6.1.0 February 12, 2026 Build 20260212.1

Domain Explorer

  • Six-category scoring — Results are now graded across Security (28%), DNSSEC (15%), Reliability (22%), Mail (15%), Web (10%), and Delegation (10%), with an overall letter grade (A+ through F).
  • Sankey graph — New visualisation shows the hierarchy of DNS records from domain root through apex and derived names to record values.
  • Standard scan mode now resolves common derived hostnames (www, mail, _dmarc, _domainkey, and others) in addition to the apex record set.

Support & Documentation

  • New Support page with collapsible sections for Domain Explorer, Zone Analyzer, and general platform documentation.
  • Table of contents sidebar with scroll-tracked active states.

UI

  • Hamburger menu added to navigation with theme toggle and Help & About link.
  • Skip-to-content link added for keyboard accessibility.

Platform

  • Unified navigation — Domain Explorer, Zone Analyzer, and Support are now accessible from a persistent top navigation bar on all pages.
  • Design system refreshed with a CSS custom-property token system supporting light and dark themes.
  • Typography updated to Manrope and Inter for improved readability.

Zone Analyzer

  • CSV export — Download the currently filtered record set as a CSV file.
  • Quick Filter pills — One-click filters to suppress SOA/NS infrastructure noise, hide PTR records, or focus on web-facing records.
  • Expanded format support: BlueCat, Infoblox, BIND, NSD/Knot, PowerDNS, and other BIND-style exports.
  • Column sorting and advanced filter rule builder added to the grid.
v5.3.0 December 8, 2025 Build 20251208.1

Domain Explorer

  • Added Standard scan mode with derived hostname resolution alongside the existing Quick mode.
  • DNS queries now resolved exclusively via Cloudflare and Google DNS-over-HTTPS for query privacy.
  • Result panels restructured to surface failing checks and their associated records more clearly.

Infrastructure

  • D1 database integration for scan result caching and request tracking.
  • Per-hour and per-day rate limiting introduced to maintain fair access across users.
v5.2.0 November 3, 2025 Build 20251103.1

Zone Analyzer

  • Initial release of the Zone Analyzer tool with drag-and-drop zone file upload, multi-zone support, and a searchable record grid.
