Today we published the first release candidate of what will become PowerDNS DNSdist 2.0.0.
This release fixes a build failure due to generated files in some build systems, a few minor issues related to the new YAML configuration format, a problem with the detection of TLS libraries in non-default paths, and a small bug when accessing empty/non-existent backends from Lua.
It also yields a big performance improvement for users of the LMDB lookup feature.
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.
