[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Recursor 5.4.6 Released

[Otto Moerbeek]

   Today we have released PowerDNS Recursor 5.4.6.

   This release is a maintenance release that includes a few improvements.
   The most important one is:

     * Fix a performance regression introduced with [1]SA-2026-08. This is
       only relevant if you run with [2]use-incoming-edns-subnet enabled
       and a scope zero answer is sent to the client.

   There are also a few other bug fixes and improvements, please refer to
   the [3]changelog for additional details.

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

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

   We made changes to our Open Source End of Life policy. Older release
   trains are now supported for one year after the following major
   release. Consult the EOL [10]policy for more details.

   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.
