Van PowerDNS is onlangs versie 2.9.8 verschenen. Dit programma is een pure DNS server met een database als back-end waardoor het beheer van een groot aantal DNS entries op een gemakkelijk manier kan plaats vinden. De release notes laten ons het volgende weten:
Queen's day release! 30th of April 2003.
Added support for AIX, fixed negative SOA caching. Some other cleanups. Not a major release but enough reasons to upgrade.
Bugs fixed:Improvements:
- Recursor had problems expiring negatively cached entries, which wasted memory and also led to the continued non-existence of hosts that since had come into existence.
- The Generic SQL backends did not lowercase the names of records, which led to new records not being found by case sensitive databases (notably PostgreSQL). Found by Volker Goetz.
- NS queries for zones for which we did not carry authority, but only had delegation information, had their NS records in the wrong section. Minor detail, but a standards violation on etheless. Spotted by Stephane Bortzmeyer.
- Removed crypt.h dependency from powerldap.hh, which was a problem on some platforms (Richard Arends)
- PowerDNS can't parse so called binary labels which we now detect and ignore, after printing a warning.
- Specifying allow-axfr-ips now automatically disables AXFR for all non-mentioned addresses.
- A Solaris ready init.d script is now part of the tar.gz (contributed, but I lost by whom).
- Added some fixes to PowerDNS can work on AIX (spotted by Markus Heimhilcher).
- Norbert Sendetzky contributed zone2ldap.
- Everybody's favorite compiler warning from zone2sql.cc was removed!
- Recursor now listens on TCP!
