In addition, some behaviours of 2.9.22.x are +standards conforming but cause interoperability problems today. Finally, +2.9.22.4 and earlier are impacted by :doc:`PowerDNS Security Advisory 2012-01 +<../security-advisories/powerdns-advisory-2012-01>`, +which means PowerDNS can be used in a Denial of Service attack. + +Although we have long been telling users that we can no longer support +the use of 2.x, and urging upgrading, with this statement we formally +declare 2.x end of life. + +This means that any 2.x issues will not be addressed. This has been the +case for a long time, but with this statement we make it formal. + +To upgrade to 3.x, please consult the `instructions on how to upgrade +the database `__. +To upgrade from 3.x to 4.x, :doc:`follow these instructions <../upgrading>`. +If you need help with upgrading, we provide `migration +services `__ +to our supported users. If you are currently running 2.9.22 and need +help to tide you over, we can also provide that as part of a `support +agreement `__. + +But we urge everyone to move on to PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.0 or +later - it is a faster, more standards conforming and more powerful +nameserver! diff --git a/pdns/recursordist/docs/appendices/EOL.rst b/pdns/recursordist/docs/appendices/EOL.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..15705737f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/pdns/recursordist/docs/appendices/EOL.rst @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +End of life statements +====================== + +The currently supported release train of the PowerDNS Recursor is 4.x. + +PowerDNS Recursor 3.7 is considered legacy and will only receive +critical bug fixes and security fixes. + +PowerDNS Recursor 3.6 will only receive security fixes. + +PowerDNS Recursor 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and 2.x are end of life.
