Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm preparing a server upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and would
like to know what has changed between the packaged versions.<br>
<br>
I found out that I'm going to upgrade PowerDNS Server (pdns-server)
from version 3.3.1 to 4.0.0 alpha 2 and Recursor (pdns-recursor)
from 3.5.3 to 4.0.0 alpha 2 as well.<br>
<br>
Can somebody tell me what the notable changes between these versions
are? I only found very detailed lists of almost every touched line
of source code, most of which I don't understand. I'm looking for
added or removed features, incompatible changes and necessary
configuration updates (especially for MySQL backends).<br>
<br>
Also, is it true that Ubuntu has packaged an alpha version into
their LTS distribution? Isn't it that alpha versions are highly
unstable, not much tested, have lots of known bugs and should never
be used in production systems? Or does PowerDNS have another
definition of that term?<br>
<br>
