Hi people, Some good news tonight.
Firstly, EasyDNS [1] has sponsored the transition of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server to the packet parsing/generating structure as found in the PowerDNS Recursor already. This move has just been completed, and will now need a lot of testing before we release 2.9.21. [1] EasyDNS - http://www.easydns.com/ This will bring support for a host of new and exciting record types, like SSHFP, SPF, KEY and AFSDB. Snapshot 972 available on http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/972 contains the new code, which is still in very rough shape. It is however a lot shorter and more modern, which lowers our maintenance load - 1234 lines of code have been removed from PowerDNS, while adding functionality. Secondly, Aaldering ICT [2] and True BV [3], have sponsored a new server and colocation facility! Dave Aaldering has been implementing PowerDNS since almost the first release, True are big users of PowerDNS who provide high quality feedback, and have previously sponsored fixes. [2] Aaldering ICT - http://www.aalderingict.com/ [3] True - http://www.true.nl/index_en.html There is still some way to go to 2.9.21, but we are a lot closer than we were before the big 'MOADNSParser takeover'. If you want to help, please try out the snapshot, but be aware it might very well contain bugs at this stage! Many thanks to EasyDNS, Aaldering ICT and True for their support!
