[Pdns-announce] PowerDNS Recursor 4.6.2 and 4.5.9 Released

[Otto Moerbeek]

Hello!

   We are proud to announce the release of PowerDNS Recursor 4.6.2 and
   4.5.9.

   Both releases are maintenance releases correcting an issue where a
   reload of a Lua script could cause in-flight queries to fail and an
   improvement in the caching of negative results. The 4.6.2 release
   contains a feature to disable[1] processing of root-hints and
   improvements to the refreshing of "almost expired" records and
   processing of native dns64.

   Please refer to the change logs for the 4.6.2[2] and 4.5.9[3] releases
   for additional details.

   Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing
   list[4], or in case of a bug, via GitHub[5].

   The tarballs (4.6.2[6], 4.5.9[7]) and signatures (4.6.2[8], 4.5.9[9])
   are available from our download server[10] and packages for several
   distributions are available from our repository[11].

   The 4.3.x releases are EOL and the 4.4.x and 4.5.x releases are in
   critical fixes only mode. Consult the EOL[12] policy for more details.

   We would also like to repeat that starting with the 4.5 release branch
   we will stop supporting systems using 32-bit time. This includes most
   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.

-Otto and the PowerDNS Team.
