.. changelog::
:version: 4.2.0
- :released: *unreleased*
+ :released: 30th of August 2019
+
+ Compared to the last release candidate, one more bug has been fixed.
+
+ The LMDB backend is incomplete in this version. Slaving zones works, loading zones with pdnsutil works, but more fine grained edits (using edit-zone, or the REST API) fail. We hope to fix this soon in a 4.2.x release.
+
+ For an overview of features new since 4.1.x, please see `the 4.2.0 announcement blog post <http://blog.powerdns.com/2019/08/29/powerdns-authoritative-server-4-2-0/>`__.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: Bug Fixes
+ :pullreq: 8229
+
+ bind getAllDomains: ignore per-zone exceptions
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 4.2.0-rc3
+ :released: 29th of July 2019
+
+ Thanks to an overwhelming amount of testing by our fabulous user community, this release candidate contains a ton of bug fixes (and a few improvements) compared to the previous one. We hope this has shaken out all of the important bugs, so that we can release 4.2.0 soon!
+
+ This release, sadly, cripples the LMDB backend somewhat, due to `transaction-related fixes for the SQL backends <https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/pull/7891>`__. We hope to fix `this issue <https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/issues/8134>`__ before 4.2.0, or otherwise, early in 4.2.x.
