Today, we are releasing a new version of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server. This 4.9.5 version carries a few bug fixes, as well as a performance optimization in the LMDB backend which will greatly improve database performance when performing a lot of record updates (we’re talking thousands per second here). A detailed list of changes can be found in the changelog.
Please make sure to read the Upgrade Notes before upgrading.
The tarball (signature) is available at downloads.powerdns.com. Packages for various distributions 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.
Note that per our End of life policy, the release of version 4.9 marked the end of support for version 4.6.
