+++ title = "CoreDNS-1.8.5 Release" description = "CoreDNS-1.8.5 Release Notes." tags = ["Release", "1.8.5", "Notes"] release = "1.8.5" date = 2021-09-10T07:00:00+00:00 author = "coredns" +++ This is a rather big release, we now [share plugins among zones in the same server block](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/pull/4593), which should save memory. Various bug fixes in a bunch of plugins and not one, but two new plugins. A geoip plugin that can report where the query came from and a header plugin that allows you to fiddle with (some of) the header bits in a DNS message. With this release, the `corednscachemisses_total` metric is deprecated. It will be removed in a later release. Users should migrate their promQL to use `corednscacherequeststotal - corednscachehitstotal`.
