On Thursday, May 2nd 2024 between 14:00 and 15:00 CEST , Punktum dk will perform updates to our EPP service, deploying version 4.11.0 in our testbed environment located at epp-sandbox.dk-hostmaster.dk
This release contains several improvements to contact create and contact update commands, focusing on ensuring quality of received data from registrars. The changes are primarily related to validation of VAT and P numbers of Danish business entities by performing lookup in the Danish Business Registry (CVR)
Additionally, the release introduces an updated XSD (dkhm-4.4) coatning addition of extension dkhm:VID to the domain info command. This boolean field is used to inform if VID-service is associated with the requested domain, thus preventing numerous operations from being performed without accept of the designated domain VID contact. The domain eksempel.dk contains "true" status on testbed environment. See https://punktum.dk/en/articles/vid-service for further information regarding VID.
Furthermore, the new EPP version will also be made available in production located at epp.dk-hostmaster.dk. With this release, we introduce new infrastructure to support multiple XSD versions in parallel. Based on the XSD version specified in the received client command, the request is redirected to the server nodes running the corresponding EPP version, e.g.
• dkhm-4.3 -> EPP version 4.10.1 (current production version) • dkhm-4.4 -> EPP version 4.11.0
This allows registrars to switch to the new version of EPP when they are ready to do so, not having to wait to a specific cut-over date.
No downtime is expected in any of the mentioned environments during these activities.
Please note that dkhm-4.3 / EPP version 4.10.1 will be decommissioned on Wednesday, September 4th, 2024.
Complete list of changes in this release:
• Validation of contact CVR and P numbers during contact creation and update • Addition of dkhm:VID extension (feature request #2021) • Remove option to change contact user type through update contact command • Addition of resData section to domain_activated and accept_agreement_expire poll messages • Correction of svTRID handling in poll messages • Correction of avail status error in poll messages related to domain updates (known issue #2500) • Addition performance logging to further improve performance monitoring • Correction of invalid response code 1000 on failed commands (known issue #1951)
On July 1st, 2024, Punktum.dk will decommission the DS Update (DSU) service. This decision is primarily motivated by the notably low traffic volume, alongside the presence of a comparable feature within the existing EPP service.
