The CoreDNS team has released
[CoreDNS-1.5.2](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.5.2).

Small bugfixes and a change to Caddy's import path (mholt/caddy -> caddyserver/caddy). Doing
a release helps plugins deal with the change better.

# Plugins

* For all plugins that use the `upstream` directive it use removed from the documentation; it's still accepted
  but is a noop. Currently these plugins use CoreDNS to resolve external queries.
* The [*template*](/plugins/template) plugin now supports meta data.
* The [*file*](/plugins/file) plugin closes the connection after an AXFR. It also loads secondary zones
  lazily on startup.
