Release of PowerDNS Recursor 4.9.8, 5.0.8 and 5.1.1

   Today we have released PowerDNS Recursor 4.9.8, 5.0.8 and 5.1.1.

   These releases are maintenance releases that fix a few bugs and has a
   few improvements. The most important ones are:

     * Write the right SOA into an RPZ dumpfile.
     * Avoid a (currently harmless) unsigned underflow in the internal
       webserver.
     * Optimized processing of additional records received from
       authoritative servers.
     * These releases also includes packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
       7 and derivatives that were missing from the previous releases. We
       also draw your attention to End of life announcement: Debian 10,
       EL7.[1] Additionally, we started publishing arm64 packages for
       supported distributions.

   There are also a few other bug fixes and improvements, please refer to
   the changelogs  (4.9.8[2] and 5.0.8[3] and 5.1.1[4]) for additional
   details.

   Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing
   list[5], or in case of a bug, via GitHub[6].

   The tarballs (4.9.8[7], 5.0.8, [8]5.1.1[9]) (with signature files
   4.9.8[10], 5.0.8[11], 5.1.1[12]) are available from our
   download server[13] and packages for several distributions are
   available from our repository[14].

   Recently we 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.
