**Warning**: Version 3.3 of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server is a major
upgrade if you are coming from 2.9.x. There are also some important
changes if you are coming from 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2. Please refer to the

Recursor improvements and fixes.

+See `Recursion <../guides/recursion.rst>`__ for details. The changes
below mean that all of the caveats listed for the recursor have now been
addressed.
- PostgreSQL now only depends on the C API and not on the deprecated
C++ one
- PowerDNS can now fully overrule external zones when doing recursion.

--------------
be restarted without having to restart the rest of the nameserver, for
example. Cooperation between the both halves of PowerDNS is also almost
seamless. As a result, 'non-lazy recursion' has been dropped. See
-`Recursion <authoritative/recursion.md>`__ for more details.
+`Recursion <../guides/recursion.rst>`__ for more details.
Furthermore, the recursor only works on Linux, Windows and Solaris (not
entirely). FreeBSD does not support the required functions. If you know
PowerDNS than yet know about it. So spread the word!

entirely from local data, it is. To restore old behaviour, disable
**lazy-recursion**. Also see

Features
^^^^^^^^
- Zone2sql now accepts ^^transactions to wrap zones in a transaction
for PostgreSQL and Oracle output. This is a major speedup and also
makes for better isolation of inserts. See
- `Zone2sql <authoritative/migration.md#zone2sql>`__.
+ `Zone2sql <migration.rst#zone2sql>`__.
- **pdns\_control** now has the ability to purge the PowerDNS cache or
parts of it. This enables operators to raise the TTL of the Packet
Cache to huge values and only to invalidate the cache when changes
are made. See also `Authoritative Server
- Performance <authoritative/performance.md>`__ and

+ `pdns\_control <running.rst#pdnscontrol>`__) now opens
the local end of its socket in ``/tmp`` instead of next to the remote
socket (by default ``/var/run``). This eases the way for allowing

`Chapter 7, *Security settings &

- Recursing backend can now live on a non-standard (!=53) port. See

- Slave zone retrieval is now queued instead of immediate, which scales
better and is more resilient to temporary failures.
