### Migrate inline ACME to certificate provider

Inline ACME options in TLS are deprecated and can be replaced by certificate providers.

Most `tls.acme` fields can be moved into the ACME certificate provider unchanged.
See [ACME](/configuration/shared/certificate-provider/acme/) for fields newly added in sing-box 1.14.0.

### Migrate address filter fields to response matching

Legacy Address Filter Fields (`ip_cidr`, `ip_is_private` without `match_response`) in DNS rules are deprecated,
along with the Legacy `rule_set_ip_cidr_accept_empty` DNS rule item.

In sing-box 1.14.0, use the [`evaluate`](/configuration/dns/rule_action/#evaluate) action
to fetch a DNS response, then match against it explicitly with `match_response`.

            "server": "remote"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
    ```

### Migrate independent DNS cache

The DNS cache now always keys by transport name, making `independent_cache` unnecessary.
Simply remove the field.

    ```json
    {
      "dns": {
        "independent_cache": true
      }
    }
    ```

=== ":material-card-multiple: New"

    ```json
    {
      "dns": {}
    }
    ```

### Migrate store_rdrc

`store_rdrc` is deprecated and can be replaced by `store_dns`,
which persists the full DNS cache to the cache file.

=== ":material-card-remove: Deprecated"

    {
      "experimental": {

          "enabled": true,
          "store_rdrc": true
        }
      }
    }
    ```

=== ":material-card-multiple: New"

    ```json
    {
      "experimental": {

        }

    }
    ```

### ip_version and query_type behavior changes in DNS rules

In sing-box 1.14.0, the behavior of
[`ip_version`](/configuration/dns/rule/#ip_version) and
[`query_type`](/configuration/dns/rule/#query_type) in DNS rules, together with
[`query_type`](/configuration/rule-set/headless-rule/#query_type) in referenced
rule-sets, changes in two ways.

First, these fields now take effect on every DNS rule evaluation. In earlier
versions they were evaluated only for DNS queries received from a client
(for example, from a DNS inbound or intercepted by `tun`), and were silently
ignored when a DNS rule was matched from an internal domain resolution that
did not target a specific DNS server. Such internal resolutions include:

- The [`resolve`](/configuration/route/rule_action/#resolve) route rule
  action without a `server` set.
- ICMP traffic routed to a domain destination through a `direct` outbound.
- A [WireGuard](/configuration/endpoint/wireguard/) or
  [Tailscale](/configuration/endpoint/tailscale/) endpoint used as an
  outbound, when resolving its own destination address.
- A [SOCKS4](/configuration/outbound/socks/) outbound, which must resolve
  the destination locally because the protocol has no in-protocol domain
  support.
- The [DERP](/configuration/service/derp/) `bootstrap-dns` endpoint and the
  [`resolved`](/configuration/service/resolved/) service (when resolving a
  hostname or an SRV target).

Resolutions that target a specific DNS server — via
[`domain_resolver`](/configuration/shared/dial/#domain_resolver) on a dial
field, [`default_domain_resolver`](/configuration/route/#default_domain_resolver)
in route options, or an explicit `server` on a DNS rule action or the
`resolve` route rule action — do not go through DNS rule matching and are
unaffected.

Second, setting `ip_version` or `query_type` in a DNS rule, or referencing a
rule-set containing `query_type`, is no longer compatible in the same DNS
configuration with Legacy Address Filter Fields in DNS rules, the Legacy
`strategy` DNS rule action option, or the Legacy `rule_set_ip_cidr_accept_empty`
DNS rule item. Such a configuration will be rejected at startup. To combine
these fields with address-based filtering, migrate to response matching via
the [`evaluate`](/configuration/dns/rule_action/#evaluate) action and
[`match_response`](/configuration/dns/rule/#match_response), see
[Migrate address filter fields to response matching](#migrate-address-filter-fields-to-response-matching).

### Migrate outbound domain strategy option to domain resolver

!!! info "References"

    [Dial Fields](/configuration/shared/dial/#domain_strategy)

The `domain_strategy` option in Dial Fields has been deprecated and can be replaced with the new domain resolver option.

Note that due to the use of Dial Fields by some of the new DNS servers introduced in sing-box 1.12,
some people mistakenly believe that `domain_strategy` is the same feature as in the legacy DNS servers.

### Bundle Identifier updates in Apple platform clients

Due to problems with our old Apple developer account,
we can only change Bundle Identifiers to re-list sing-box apps,
which means the data will not be automatically inherited.

For iOS, you need to back up your old data yourself (if you still have access to it);  
for tvOS, you need to re-import profiles from your iPhone or iPad or create it manually;  
for macOS, you can migrate the data folder using the following command:

```bash
cd ~/Library/Group\ Containers && \ 
  mv group.io.nekohasekai.sfa group.io.nekohasekai.sfavt
```

## 1.9.0

### `domain_suffix` behavior update

For historical reasons, sing-box's `domain_suffix` rule matches literal prefixes instead of the same as other projects.

sing-box 1.9.0 modifies the behavior of `domain_suffix`: If the rule value is prefixed with `.`,
the behavior is unchanged, otherwise it matches `(domain|.+\.domain)` instead.

### `process_path` format update on Windows

The `process_path` rule of sing-box is inherited from Clash,
the original code uses the local system's path format (e.g. `\Device\HarddiskVolume1\folder\program.exe`),
but when the device has multiple disks, the HarddiskVolume serial number is not stable.

sing-box 1.9.0 make QueryFullProcessImageNameW output a Win32 path (such as `C:\folder\program.exe`),
which will disrupt the existing `process_path` use cases in Windows.
