On this lovely day, we are releasing version 5.1.0-beta1 of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server. It contains many small new features and improvements over the previous 5.1.0-alpha1 release, as well as the unavoidable bug fixes.
You might be especially interested in structured logging or, for users of the LMDB backend, the ability to add comments to their RRsets, a feature which used to be available on SQL backends only.
Please test it and help us make the final 5.1.0 release a success!
A detailed list of changes can be found in the changelog.
Please make sure to read the Upgrade Notes before upgrading.
The tarball and its signature is available at downloads.powerdns.com. Packages for various distributions are available from repo.powerdns.com.
We are looking forward to your feedback on this pre-release. 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 the final 5.1.0 version will mark the end of support for version 4.8.
