.. note::

This version of CloudStack allows control over the visibility of the DNS services provided
by the Virtual Router. One can control whether the service on the routers be available to
networks outside the local network. This might be important on Shared Networks which are
using Internet routable/public (i.e. non-RFC 1918) IP addresses. The new global setting
"expose.dns.externally" has been added with a default value of "true" in order to keep backward compatibility
with the previous installations. If you wish to disable public access to the DNS services
running on Virtual Router, set the value to "false" and recreate the related Virtual Routers.
by the Virtual Router in Shared networks. By default CloudStack allows DNS queries via the
Guest interface from any IP address. This allows for the DNS resolution of guest VMs on the
Shared network by services outside of the shared network. While this can be useful, it can
also be an issue on Shared Networks which are using Internet routable/public (i.e. non-RFC1918)
IP addresses, as the DNS service is then queriable from the public internet at large. A new
global setting "expose.dns.externally" has been added (with a default value of "true" in
order to keep backward compatibility) which controls whether the source of DNS queries
should be limited to only hosts on the Shared Network guest subnet or not. If you wish
to disable 'outside' access to the DNS services running on Virtual Routers; set the value
to "false" and recreate the related Virtual Routers.

New User Interface & Depreciation notice of existing UI
=======================================================

Cloudstack 4.14 ships with a Technical Preview of a new, modern User Interface (project Primate) . This technical preview can be used by users & operators of Cloudstack environments for evaluation & testing purposes. With version 4.14, the existing UI remains the supported UI for production environments.
However, with the 4.14 release, the Apache Cloudstack community will stop taking feature requests for new functionality in the existing UI. All new functionality will be developed against the new UI.
