Today we released the first beta version of what will become PowerDNS DNSdist 2.0.0.
This release fixes several issues related to the new YAML configuration format, contains small improvements, and adds a few new features:
- the SetEDNSOptionResponseAction response action has been added by Samir Aguiar
- the ability to add more meta-data information to protobuf messages via the Lua APIs
- a load-balancing policy based on the order then weight of backend servers has been implemented by @pacnal
As this release introduces major changes compared to the 1.9 versions, we invite everyone to test it as soon as possible to make sure that all existing use cases are still working properly, and that there is no performance degradation. Incompatible changes are listed in the upgrade guide.
Please see the DNSdist website for the 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.
The release tarball and its signature are available on the downloads website, and packages for several distributions are available from our repository.
