Please find the most important changes below. For full details, visit the changelog.

Improvements

  • API: increase serial after dnssec related updates
  • Dnsreplay: bail out on a too small outgoing buffer
  • lower ‘packet too short’ loglevel
  • Make check-zone error on rows that have content but shouldn’t
  • avoid an isane amount of new backend connections during an axfr
  • Report unparseable data in stoul invalid_argument exception
  • recheck serial when axfr is done
  • add tcp support for alias

Bug Fixes

  • allocate new statements after reconnecting to postgresql
  • bindbackend: only compare ips in ismaster() (Kees Monshouwer)
  • Rather than crash, sheepishly report no file/linenum
  • Document undocumented config vars
  • prevent cname + other data with dnsupdate

Tarball (sig) is available on the downloads website. Packages for Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu are uploaded to our repositories.
