[Pdns-users] First alpha release of PowerDNS Recursor 5.3.0

[Otto Moerbeek]

   We are proud to announce the first alpha release of PowerDNS Recursor
   5.3.0!

   Compared to the latest 5.2 release, this pre-release includes the
   following changes:

     * Recursor can now generate OpenTelemetry trace data, exported via
       the existing Protobuf stream. See the documentation.[1]
     * The embedded webserver used to display the status page and process
       REST API calls has been rewritten in Rust and supports multiple
       listen addresses and TLS.
     * The meson build system is now fully supported and used to build the
       published packages. We encourage third-party packagers to switch to
       meson, as the auto-tools based build infrastructure will be removed
       in the future.

   As always, there are also many smaller bug fixes and improvements,
   please refer to the changelog[2] for additional details. When upgrading
   do not forget to check the upgrade guide[3].

   Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing
   list[4], or in case of a bug, via GitHub[5].

   The tarball[6] (signature[7]) is available from our
   download server[8] and packages for several distributions are available
   from our repository[9].

   Older release trains are supported for one year after the following
   major release. Consult the EOL policy[10] 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.
