PowerDNS Recursor 4.2.0 Release Candidate 2 | PowerDNS Blog

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!
