PowerDNS Recursor 5.4.6 Released

Sep 3, 2026, 10:11:30 AM

Today we have released PowerDNS Recursor 5.4.6.

This release is a maintenance release that includes a few improvements. The most important one is:

  • Fix a performance regression introduced with SA-2026-08. This is only relevant if you run with use-incoming-edns-subnet enabled and a scope zero answer is sent to the client.

There are also a few other bug fixes and improvements, please refer to the changelog for additional details.

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub.

The tarball (with signature file) is available from our download server and packages for several distributions are available from our repository.

We made changes to our Open Source End of Life policy. Older release trains are now supported for one year after the following major release. Consult the EOL policy for more details.

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.
