[Pdns-announce] Release of PowerDNS Recursor 5.1.3

[Otto Moerbeek]

   Today we have released PowerDNS Recursor 5.1.3.

   This release is a maintenance releases that fixes a few bugs and has a
   few improvements. The most important ones are:

     * RFC 6303[1] has been implemented, letting the recursor provide
       answers to some ipv6.arpa zones. This function is switched on by
       default.
     * An issue where a burst of many identical queries on a non-cache hit
       could lead to intermittent failure to resolve has been fixed.
     * The metrics now distinguish OS imposed limits from application
       imposed limits. Reaching the maximum chain size is now reported
       using the new chain-limits metric, while previously they would
       increase the resource-limits metric.

   There are also a few other bug fixes and improvements, please refer to
   the changelog  (5.1.3[2]) 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 tarball (5.1.3[5]) (with signature file 5.1.3[6]) are available
   from our download server[7] and packages for several distributions are
   available from our repository[8].

   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[9] 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.
