 Changelogs for 4.2.x
 ====================
 
+.. 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.
