Hi all,
We're pleased to announce the second alpha release of the PowerDNS
Authoritative Server version 4.0.0. This release is the first release to use
OpenSSL for nearly all crypto-primitives (GOST is still provided by Botan) and
has a breaking change in the API compared to alpha 1. A list of new features of
