We are proud to announce the first alpha release of PowerDNS Recursor 5.3.0!
Compared to the latest 5.2 release, this pre-release includes the following changes:
- Recursor can now generate OpenTelemetry trace data, exported via the existing Protobuf stream. See the documentation.
- The embedded webserver used to display the status page and process REST API calls has been rewritten in Rust and supports multiple listen addresses and TLS.
- The meson build system is now fully supported and used to build the published packages. We encourage third-party packagers to switch to meson, as the auto-tools based build infrastructure will be removed in the future.
As always, there are also many smaller bug fixes and improvements, please refer to the changelog for additional details. When upgrading do not forget to check the upgrade guide.
Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub.
The tarball (signature) is available from our download server and packages for several distributions are available from our repository.
Older release trains are supported for one year after the following major release. Consult the EOL policy for more details.
We would also like to mention that with the 4.5 release we stopped supporting systems using 32-bit time. This includes many 32-bit Linux platforms.
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.
