Here at the secret PowerDNS Labs, we have been working very hard at
growing new crops of DNS software (while pretending to grow tulips in
order to remain unnoticed).

Our latest crop has been hybridized with some bind crops, in order to
build a PowerDNS Authoritative Server with a new, exciting, bind-like
"views" feature, allowing one single Authoritative Server to behave as
if there were multiple servers, answering different data depending upon
where the request is originating from.

In addition to this new feature, we have also been working on bug fixes
and documentation improvements, as well as some performance
improvements with the LMDB backend (which are already available in the
4.9.5 release, for people not daring to give this 5.0.0 alpha a try).

A detailed list of changes can be found in the [1]changelog.

Please make sure to read the [2]Upgrade Notes before upgrading.

The [3]tarball and its [4]signature are available
at [5]downloads.powerdns.com. Packages for various distributions are
available from [6]repo.powerdns.com.

We are looking forward to your feedback on this pre-release. Please
send us all feedback and issues you might have via the [7]mailing list,
or in case of a bug, via [8]GitHub.

Note that per our [9]End of life policy, the release of the final 5.0.0
version will mark the end of support for version 4.7.
