Changed

  • Complete website contents review and updates.

  • MyCount update.

[2.1.0] - 2026-10-06 @ 04:44

  • Add CMDB scanner metadata: subtype Dynamic DNS Service, supplier Nadim-Daniel, and codename Insight.
  • Updated scripts/new-release.sh.

[2.0.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 23:54

Fixed

  • Make installed BMDynIP releases discoverable by CMDB through readable version constants, updated on upgrade and removed on uninstall.
  • Refresh only changed status text every five seconds, preserving table rows, keyboard focus, and unfinished hostname input without flicker.

[1.7.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 23:38

Added

  • Check registered hostnames through DNS on page load and each refresh, showing Current, Mismatch, Not found, or Lookup failed in the status column.

Changed

  • Dispatch ordered GoDaddy DNS commands without waiting for completion or parsing their output. Save and display the submitted address immediately.

[1.6.3] - 2026-10-04 @ 23:22

Fixed

  • Invoke gddy with root’s configured authentication instead of overriding it with the legacy BMDynIP PAT. Installation and upgrades no longer require or copy that PAT.
  • Remove the PAT-replacement advice from authentication failure messages.

[1.6.1] - 2026-10-04 @ 23:12

Fixed

  • Show the sanitized DNS failure reason in status messages, including GoDaddy authentication rejection and instructions to refresh the configured PAT.

[1.6.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 23:05

Added

  • Show hostname addition and runner process steps in the Web UI status messages, including discovery, DNS updates, completion, and failures with module names as sources.

[1.5.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 22:41

Added

  • Start the runner immediately after adding a hostname in the Web UI, with clear feedback if the name is saved but the runner cannot launch.

[1.4.1] - 2026-10-04 @ 22:16

Fixed

  • Refresh installed GoDaddy credentials from $HOME/.godaddy-cli during installation and upgrades; normal runtime continues to use /etc/bmdynip/auto.env.

[1.4.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 22:02

Added

  • Import existing JSON hostnames into MariaDB once during installation or upgrade, preserving later Web UI changes and the original configuration file.
  • Connect the Web UI to persistent hostname management, live system status, and database-backed DNS change history, with automatic status refresh.
  • Provision the local MariaDB database and account, save protected database credentials, and apply the schema during installation and upgrades.
  • Retain existing database credentials and records when reapplying the schema.

Fixed

  • Wait for database-backed Web UI readiness during installation, upgrades, and restarts; report unavailable credentials, schema, or database instead of success.
  • Update running and uninstall guidance for database-backed hostname management, live status, and retained database records.

[1.3.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 20:37

Added

  • Expose the runner cron schedule in the Web UI with an enabled checkbox, cron expression, and Update button; default to every five minutes.

Fixed

  • Preserve custom and disabled runner schedules during installation and upgrades.

[1.2.2] - 2026-10-04 @ 20:18

Fixed

  • Declare PyMySQL in requirements.txt and bundle it in both executable archives during installation and upgrades.

[1.2.1] - 2026-10-04 @ 20:09

Fixed

  • Stop the Web UI before deploying an upgrade and start it afterward.
  • Allow the Web UI time to become active before failing its readiness check.

[1.2.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 20:02

Added

  • Add scripts/upgrade.sh to redeploy BMDynIP and restart the Web UI while preserving configuration, saved state, and credentials.

[1.1.0] - 2026-10-04 @ 19:58

Added

  • Add the MariaDB schema for the CWM WAN connection model, per-record change requests, and managed DNS records.

Fixed

  • Show the Web UI listening address in status output instead of the localhost readiness URL.

[1.0.3] - 2026-10-04 @ 15:05

Fixed

  • Start the Web UI on port 49700 during installation and enable it at boot.
  • Restart the Web UI on upgrades and print its status and port after HTTP responds.

Added

  • Add scripts/restart.sh to restart the Web UI and report its status and port.

[1.0.2] - 2026-10-04 @ 10:28

Fixed

  • Create the protected GoDaddy credential file during first installation using root’s /root/.godaddy-cli PAT, GDDY_PAT, or hidden PAT entry, and preserve existing credentials on reinstall.
  • Use the saved production PAT for DNS updates even when GDDY_PAT_PROD is set.

[1.0.1] - 2026-10-04 @ 10:17

Added

  • Add a web UI preview on port 49700 with logo-matched colors, system status, sample A-record management, and activity messages. Preview changes reset on reload.

Summary

Rename the project to BMDynIP (Bear & Moose), updating branding, GitHub and website references, application names, and installation paths consistently.

Changed

  • Rename the Python package to bmdynip and the constants class to DBMDynIP.
  • Use bmdynip for the executable, configuration filename, cron job, and syslog tag.

Summary

Add the cron-driven public IPv4 updater for configurable hostnames, with root installation and uninstall scripts that preserve configuration and data.

Added

  • Configure one domain and a hostname list, empty by default; no application hostnames are hardcoded.
  • Add public-IP discovery, DNS record entities, and the update activity with GoDaddy CLI and saved-state interfaces.
  • Add root installation under /opt/prod/bmdynip and a cron job every five minutes.

  • Move uninstall instructions into their own guide.

  • Follow Ax3l’s constants convention with DBMDynIP.VERSION in DBMDynIP.py.
  • Adapt the release script to read and update the BMDynIP version constant.
  • Use Jekyll-generated documentation links and remove links to missing pages inherited from R3el.
