Hi everybody,

We’re pleased to announce version 3.4.4 of our Authoritative Server.

The most important part of this update is a fix for CVE-2015-1868.

for more information.

Tar.gz and packages are available on:

* Soon: https://www.monshouwer.eu/download/3rd_party/pdns/
(RHEL/CentOS, with the usual huge thanks to Kees Monshouwer).

Warning: Version 3.4.4 of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server is a major upgrade if you are coming from 2.9.x. Additionally, if you are coming from any 3.x version (including 3.3.1), there is a mandatory SQL schema upgrade. Please refer to the Upgrade documentation for important information on correct and stable operation, as well as notes on performance and memory use.

This is a performance and bugfix update to 3.4.3 and any earlier version. For high traffic setups, including those using DNSSEC, upgrading to 3.4.4 may show tremendous performance increases.
