[Pdns-announce] PowerDNS Recursor 4.4.5. and 4.5.5 Released

[Otto Moerbeek]

Hello!,

   We are proud to announce the release of PowerDNS Recursor 4.4.5. and
   4.5.5.

   Both releases contain an improvement to work around broken
   authoritative servers sending replies without the "authoritative
   answer" (AA) bit set.

   The 4.5.5 release contains a fix to an issue where an insecure domain
   with signatures records could be marked as bogus due to a missed zone
   cut and a fix to the aggressive NSEC(3) cache handling of denials of DS
   records.

   Please refer to the change logs for the 4.4.4[1] and 4.5.5[2] releases
   for additional details.

   Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing
   list[3], or in case of a bug, via GitHub[4].

   The tarballs (4.4.5[5], 4.5.5[6]) and signatures (4.4.5[7], 4.5.5[8])
   are available from our download server[9] and packages for several
   distributions are available from our repository[10].

   The 4.2.x release is EOL and the 4.3.x and 4.4.x releases are in
   critical fixes only mode. Consult the EOL policy[11] for more details.

   We would also like to announce that starting with the 4.5 release we
   will stop supporting systems using 32-bit time. This includes 32-bit
   Linux platforms like arm6, arm7, and i386.

   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.

-Otto and the PowerDNS Team.
