[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Authoritative Server 5.1.0

[Miod Vallat]

Being out of excuses to postpone this release, we are releasing
PowerDNS Authoritative Server version 5.1.0 today.

A detailed list of changes can be found in the [1]changelog. There are
too many changes and bugfixes to mention in this short announcement;
among the new features, you might be 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 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 the final 5.1.0
version marks the end of support for version 4.8. However, users with a
commercial agreement with PowerDNS.COM BV or Open-Xchange can receive
support for releases which are End Of Life. If you are such a user,
this EOL statement does not apply to you.
