Subject: [Pdns-announce] PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.9.8
Message-ID: <fd1e4ad6-242d-4d76-a1a0-56ffde8fdd38@powerdns.com>

Today, we are releasing a new version of the PowerDNS Authoritative
Server. This 4.9.8 version only contains a small new feature: the last
modification timestamps of the records are exposed in the REST API,
when using the LMDB backend.

A detailed list of changes can be found in the [1]changelog.

Please make sure to read the [2]Upgrade Notes before upgrading.

The [3]tarball and its [4]signature are available at
[5]downloads.powerdns.com. Packages for various distributions are
available from [6]repo.powerdns.com.

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the
[7]mailing list, or in case of a bug, via [8]GitHub.

Note that per our [9]End of life policy, the release of version 4.9
marked the end of support for version 4.6.
