We are proud to announce the release of PowerDNS Recursor 4.8.2.

This release is a maintenance release, fixing some issues, in particular:

- Record and negative cache cleaning now maintains balance between shards in a better way
- A case where the wrong EDNS Client Subnet scope could be applied to outgoing queries has been fixed
- A few other minor issues

Please refer to the change log for the [4.8.2 ](https://doc.powerdns.com/recursor/changelog/4.8.html#change-4.8.2)release for additional details.

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the [mailing list](https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users), or in case of a bug, via [GitHub](https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/issues/new/choose).

The [tarball ](https://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/pdns-recursor-4.8.2.tar.bz2) and [signature ](https://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/pdns-recursor-4.8.2.tar.bz2.sig) are available from our download [server ](https://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/)and packages for several distributions are available from our [repository](https://repo.powerdns.com/). The Ubuntu Jammy package will be published soon.

The 4.5.x releases are EOL and the 4.6.x and 4.7.x releases are in critical fixes only mode. Consult the [EOL](https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/appendices/EOL.html) policy for more details.

We would also like to repeat that starting with the 4.5 release branch we stopped supporting systems using 32-bit time. This includes most 32-bit Linux platforms.

We are grateful to the PowerDNS community for the reporting of bugs, issues, feature requests, and especially to the submitters of fixes and implementations of features.
