[Pdns-dev] 2.9.12 delayed because of bugs in the assembler

[bert hubert]

Dear PowerDNS users,

The formal release of pdns 2.9.12 is held up by:

           http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212048
                                     and
         http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-10/msg00055.html


Which makes it very hard for me to do a binary release. We'll monitor this
situation for a few days and then try building on another Linux
distribution.

In the meantime, what will most likely become 2.9.12 is on
http://ds9a.nl/pdns/pdns-2.9.12.tar.gz

Changelog:

   Release rich in features. Work on Verisign oddities, addition of SQLite
   backend, pdns_recursor maturity.

   New features:

     * --version command (requested by Mike Benoit)

     * delegation-only, a Verisign special.

     * Generic SQLite support, by Michel 'Who da man?' Stol.

     * init.d script for pdns_recursor

   Bugs:

     * 0.0.0.0/0 didn't use to work (Norbert Sendetzky)

     * pdns_recursor would try to resolve IP address which to bind to,
       potentially causing chicken/egg problem

     * gpgsql no longer reports as gmysql (Sherwin Daganoto)

     * SRV would not be parsed right from disk (Christof Meerwald)

     * An AXFR from a zone hosted on the LDAP backend no longer transmits
       all the reverse entries too (Norbert Sendetzky)

   Improvements, cleanups:

     * PowerDNS now reports the numerical IP addresses it binds to instead
       of the, possibly, alphanumeric names the operator passed.

     * Removed only-soa hackery (noticed by Norbert Sendetzky)

     * Debian packaging fixes (Wichert Akkerman)

     * Some parameter descriptions were improved.

     * Cleanups by Norbert: getAuth moved to chopOff, arguments::contains
       massive cleanup, more.


Thanks for your patience!
