[Pdns-announce] PowerDNS Authoritative Server 5.1.0-beta1

[Miod Vallat]

On this lovely day, we are releasing version 5.1.0-beta1 of the
PowerDNS Authoritative Server. It contains many small new features and
improvements over the previous 5.1.0-alpha1 release, as well as the
unavoidable bug fixes.

You might be especially interested in structured logging or, for users
of the LMDB backend, the ability to add comments to their RRsets, a
feature which used to be available on SQL backends only.

Please test it and help us make the final 5.1.0 release a success!

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.

We are looking forward to your feedback on this pre-release. 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 the final 5.1.0
version will mark the end of support for version 4.8.
