One and a half week after the release of Release Candidate 1 comes the second release candidate for the PowerDNS Recursor version 4.0.5.

These are the two changes between RC1 and RC2:

• Added the use-incoming-edns-subnet option to process and pass along ECS and fix some ECS bugs in the process
• Correct a syntax error in test statement on existence of libcrypto_ecdsa during configure

The full changelog between 4.0.4 and 4.0.5 is available.

Tarballs (sig) and packages for different operating systems can be downloaded from the downloads website. The packages are versioned so that users of the 4.0.x repositories can download and install them (using dpkg -i or rpm -U) and when the final release of 4.0.5 is added to the repositories, the package will be upgraded to the version in the repository.

We ask you to test this release and provide feedback.
