Code in c2309. + + + + + Garbage encountered during reload-acls could cause crashes. Fixed in c2323, closing t330. + + + + + The recursor would lose its root hints in a very rare situation. Corrected in c2380. + + + + + We did not always drop supplemental groups while dropping privileges. Reported by David Black of + Atlassian, fixed in c2524. + + + + + Additional processing is now optional, and disabled by default. Presumably this yields a performance + improvement. Change in c2542. + + + + + A new setting, export-etc-hosts-suffix, adds a configurable suffix to names imported from /etc/hosts. + Code in c2544, c2545. + + + + + We would sometimes stick RRs in the wrong parts of response packets. Fixed in c2625. + + + + + rec_control reload-lua-script now reports errors. Code in c2627, closing t278. + + + + + rec_control help now lists commands. Code in c2628. + + + + + The ACL parser was too liberal, sometimes causing recursors to be very open. Fixed in c2629, closing t331. + + + + + rec_control now honours config-dir from recursor.conf. Fixed in c2630. + + + + + When traversing CNAME chains, sometimes we would end up with multiple SOAs in the result. + Fixed in c2633. + + + + + We would sometimes refuse to resolve domains with just one nameserver living at the apex. Fixed in c2817. + + + + + c2879 drops some spurious stderr logging from Lua scripts, and makes sure 'place' is always valid. + + + + + rec_control wipe-cache now also wipes the recursor's packet cache. Code in c2880 from t333. + + + + + Morten Stevens contributed a systemd file. Import in c2966, now part of the recursor tarball. + + + + + c2990 updates the address of D.root-servers.net. + + + + + Since we re-parse our commandline in rec_control we've been doubling the commands on the commandline, causing weird output. Reported by Winfried Angele. Fixed in c2992, closing t618. + + + + + Winfried Angele implemented and documented the ipv6-questions metric. Merge in c3034, closing t619. + + + + + rec_control reload-acl no longer ignores arguments. Fix in c3037, closing t490. + + + + + A new feature, rec_control trace-regex allows the tracing of lookups for specific names. Code in c3044. + + + + + We no longer use ANY to get A+AAAA for nameservers, because some auth operators have decided to break + ANY lookups. As a bonus, we now track v4 and v6 latency separately. Change in c3064. + + + + + Cache aging would sometimes get confused when we had a mix of expired and non-expired records in cache. + Spotted and fixed by Winfried Angele in c3068, closing t438. + + + + + PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.2 Version 3.2 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 or 3.1 Please refer to , and for important information on
