PowerDNS Recursor 4.2.0 Release Candidate 2

Jun 25, 2019

We’re proud to announce Release Candidate 2 for the PowerDNS Recursor 4.2 release train.

There have been some minor changes since release candidate 1:

  • #7955: Handle short reads from our random device
  • #7953: Check if -latomic is needed instead of hardcoding
  • #7939: Compare the CacheKey type and place first then the name
  • #7931: Don’t mix time() and gettimeofday() in our unit tests
  • #7954: SuffixMatchTree fixes

Please see the changelog for details.

Please try this version. With some luck, RC2 can become 4.2.0 with no changes in just a week or two!

The tarball (signature) is available at downloads.powerdns.com and packages for CentOS 6 and 7, Debian Jessie, Stretch and Buster, Ubuntu Trusty, Xenial, Bionic and Cosmic are available from repo.powerdns.com.

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub.
