Download PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.4.9

PowerDNS is a dns server with a database as back-end, which makes it easy to manage a large number of dns entries. The developers previously decided to release the two parts that make up PowerDNS, a recursor and an authoritative name server, so that a new version can be released more quickly and in a more targeted way, the developers say. The authoritative name server will only respond to a dns lookup if it pertains to the domains for which this server is responsible. The developers have released PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.4.9. The announcement of this release looks like this:

PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.4.9

This is a minor bug fix and performance release. Two contributions by Kees Monshouwer make 3.4.9 fully compatible with the new single key ECDSA default that is coming in version 4.0.0.

Changes since 3.4.8:

• use OpenSSL for ECDSA signing where available (Kees Monshouwer)
• allow common signing key (Kees Monshouwer)
• Add a disable-syslog setting
• fix SOA caching with multiple backends (Kees Monshouwer)
• whitespace-related zone parsing fixes ticket #3568
• bindbackend: fix, set domain in list() (Kees Monshouwer)

PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.4.8

This is a small bug fix release. Additionally, the deb/RPM packages on downloads.powerdns.com (those with -static in the name) for 3.4.8 have been built against Botan 1.10.11 instead of Botan 1.10.3 like previous packages. Please see the Botan Security page for more information on the fixes in Botan 1.10.11. As a PowerDNS user, these issues only affect you if you ran our -static packages and allowed your users to upload private keys to your configuration.

Changes since 3.4.7:

• Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS (Ruben Kerkhof)
• Check for inet_aton in libresolv (Ruben Kerkhof)
• Remove hardcoded -lresolv, -lnsl and -lsocket (Ruben Kerkhof)
• pdnssec: don’t check disabled records (Pieter Lexis)
• pdnssec: check all records (including disabled ones) only in verbose mode (Kees Monshouwer)
• radiation dot in DNAME content (Kees Monshouwer)
• Fix luabackend compilation on FreeBSD i386 (RvdE)
• silence g++ 6.0 warnings and error (Kees Monshouwer)
• add gcc 5.3 and 6.0 support to boost.m4 (Kees Monshouwer)
