Today we are releasing version 4.0.4 of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server.
This release features a fix for the ed25519 signer. This signer hashed the message before signing, resulting in unverifiable signatures. Also on the Elliptic Curve front, support was added for ED448 (DNSSEC algorithm 16) by using libdecaf.
The full changelog is as follows:

Improvements

- #5325: YaHTTP: Sync with upstream changes
- #5298: Send a notification to all slave servers after every dnsupdate (Kees Monshouwer)
- #5317: Add option to set a global
lua-axfr-scriptvalue (Kees Monshouwer) - #5130: dnsreplay: Add
--source-ipand--source-portoptions - #5085: calidns: Use the correct socket family (IPv4 / IPv6)

reuseportsockets before dropping privileges; remove transaction in pgpsql backend
