Fix in c1545. + + + Simon Bedford and Laurient Papier discovered relatively high TCP/IP loads can cause TCP/IP service to shut down over time. Addressed in c1546. + NOTE: this issue has not been fixed entirely - investigation is still ongoing. + + + The PowerDNS Recursor could not read the 'root zone' (this is something else than the root hints) because of an unquoted TXT record. + This has now been addressed, allowing operators to hardcode the root zone. This can improve security if the root zone used is kept up to date. + Change in c1547. + + + A return of an old bug, when a domain gets new nameservers, but the old nameservers continue to contain a copy of the domain, PowerDNS could get 'stuck' with the old servers. + Fixed in c1548. + + + Discovered & reported by Alexander Gall of SWITCH, the Recursor used to try to resolve 'AXFR' records over UDP. Fix in c1619. + + + The Recursor embedded authoritative server messed up parsing a record like '@ IN MX 15 @'. Spotted by Aki Tuomi, fix in c1621. + + + The Recursor embedded authoritative server messed up parsing really really long lines. Spotted by Marco Davids, fix in c1624, c1625. + + + + + Improvements: + + + The priming of the root now uses more IPv6 addresses. Change in c1550, closes t287. + + + PowerDNS Recursor can now bind to fe80 IPv6 space with '%eth0' link selection. Suggested by Darren Gamble, implemented with help from Niels Bakker. Change in c1620. + + + Solaris on x86 has a long standing bug in port_getn(), which we now work around. Spotted by 'Dirk' and 'AS'. Solution suggested by the Apache runtime library, + update in c1622. + + + New runtime statistic: 'tcp-clients' which lists the number of currently active TCP/IP clients. Code in c1623. + + + Deal better with UltraDNS style CNAME redirects containing SOA records. Spotted by Andy Fletcher from UKDedicated in t303, fix in c1628. + + + The packet cache, which has 'ready to use' packets containing answers, now artificially ages the ready to use packets. Code in c1630. + + + Lua scripts can now indicate that certain queries will have 'variable' answers, which means that the packet cache will not touch these answers. + This is great for overriding some domains for some users, but not all of them. Code in c1636. + + + + + Recursor version 3.2 -- 2.50.1
