From d5d11bf45a77cad6be2194620c4d865231cfbe67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gusted Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 01:07:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PRIVACY] Add a DNS method to fetch new updates - Use TXT records in order to determine the latest available version. - This addresses a valid privacy issue, as with HTTP requests the server can keep track(estimated) of how many instances are using Forgejo, with DNS that's basically not possible as the server will never receive any data, as the only ones receiving data are DNS resolvers.
