We are thrilled to release the fourth alpha release of what will become PowerDNS DNSdist 1.9.0!
The most exciting new feature in this latest alpha is support for DNS over HTTP/3! Like DNS over QUIC for which we announced support in the previous alpha, DNS over HTTP/3 uses QUIC to provide excellent performance in challenging environments. We are again leveraging Cloudflare's Quiche for this new feature, keeping the number of DNSdist dependencies small.
We also added a few new, smaller features since alpha 3:
We also fixed a few issues:
Please see the DNSdist website for the more complete changelog and the current documentation.
Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub.
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.
The release tarball and its signature are available on the downloads website, and packages for several distributions are available from our repository.
