Hello everyone,

Today, the PowerDNS Recursor version 4.0.2 is released.

This version fixes several bugs, among which was a regression in 4.x where 
CNAME records for DNSSEC signed domains were not sorted before the final 
answers, leading to some clients (notably some versions of Chrome) not being 
able to extract the required answer from the packet.
This happened exclusively for DNSSEC signed domains, but the problem happens 
even for clients not requesting DNSSEC validation.

This release also features several additions to the RPZ-stack.
Most notably the addition of NSDNAME and NSIP triggers and Lua-based access to 
the policy-decision in the existing hooks, plus a new prerpz hook that is 
called before preresolve to allow disabling of RPZ lookups.

Source tarball is here[1](sig[2]) and packages are available from our 
repositories[3].

The full changelog is as follows, changelog with links is online[4]:
