[Pdns-announce] PowerDNS Recursor 5.0.10, 5.1.4 and 5.2.2 Released

[Otto Moerbeek]

   Today we have released PowerDNS Recursor 5.0.10, 5.1.4 and 5.2.2.

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

     * When an authoritative server supplies both an answer and a CNAME,
       follow the CNAME and discard the answer.
     * Include the new root trust anchor in the built-in root trust
       anchors. The key corresponding to the new trust anchor will start
       getting used for DNSSEC signing in October 2026[1]. This applies to
       the 5.0.10 and 5.1.4 versions, the 5.2.0 release already included
       the new trust anchor.

   There are also a few other bug fixes and improvements, please refer to
   the changelogs  (5.0.10[2] and 5.1.4[3] and 5.2.2[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 (5.0.10[7], 5.1.4[8], 5.2.2[9]) (with signature files
   5.0.10[10], 5.1.4[11], 5.2.2[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.
