Hello! We are proud to announce the first alpha release of PowerDNS Recursor 5.1.0!
Compared to the latest 5.0 release, this release adds the possibility
to include settings previously set in the Lua configuration file in the
YAML configuration format that was introduced in the previous release.
See YAML settings[1] for details on the settings and the conversion of
existing Lua configuration to the new YAML syntax. The existing Lua
syntax is still supported.
This release also includes the following changes:
* A feature to allow names (resolved by the system resolver[2]) in
addition to IP addresses in the forwarding configuration . This is
very useful in setups where where the forwarding target addresses
are dynamic in nature.
* Add structured logging backend[3] that uses JSON representation has
been added.
* Notifies can now be used to trigger[4] RPZ freshness checks.
* The Newly Observed Domain (and/or Unique Domain Response) database
is now shared between threads, avoiding multiple copies in memory
and on disk. It is now also possible to set the snapshot
interval[5].
* Structured logging is now enabled[6] always, it is no longer
possible to switch to old style logging.
As always, there are also many smaller bug fixes and improvements,
please refer to the changelog[7] for additional details. When upgrading
do not forget to check the upgrade guide.[8]
Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing
list[9], or in case of a bug, via GitHub[10].
The tarball[11] (signature[12]) is available from our
download server[13] and packages for several distributions are
available from our repository[14].
We also made changes to our Open Source End of Life policy. Older
release trains are now supported for one year after the following major
release. Consult the EOL policy[15] for more details.
We would also like to mention that with the 4.5 release we stopped
supporting systems using 32-bit time. This includes many 32-bit Linux
platforms.
We are grateful to the PowerDNS community for the reporting of bugs,
issues, feature requests, and especially to the submitters of fixes and
implementations of features.
