All releases tagged Stable
Release Notes: This version brings a reasonable amount of new features, combined with vast performance increases for large setups. In addition, significant numbers of bugs and issues have been addressed. This is a much recommended upgrade.
Release Notes: Compared to 2.9.21, this version offers a massive performance boost for installations running with high cache-TTLs or a large packet cache, in many cases of an order of magnitude. Additionally, a large number of bugs were addressed, some features were added, and overall many areas saw improvements. RC2 fixes important issues compared to RC1.

Release Notes: Some (rare) PowerDNS Authoritative Server configurations could be forced to restart themselves remotely. For other configurations, a database reconnect can be triggered remotely. These problems have been fixed.
Release Notes: This releases fixes an issue relevant to security where PowerDNS did not answer certain questions. Not answering such questions, combined with new spoofing techniques, raised the general vulnerability of the DNS. This addresses CVE-2008-3337.
Release Notes: This release fixes many issues, unifies the PowerDNS Recursor and Authoritative DNS infrastructure (reducing code size by 2,000 lines), significantly improves the "BIND" compatibility mode (making real life zone loading up to 30 times faster than the original BIND), addresses many corner cases, reworks the TCP backend for improved stability, and makes 64 bit packages available.
Release Notes: This release adds a contributed OpenDBX backend with high-end features like failover and load balancing. An order of magnitude speed increase in the recursor was attained by properly indexing the caches for cleanup and optimizing many operations. Several major bugs were fixed, including some that could make two common forms of in-addr.arpa delegations fail. Upgrading is highly recommended.
Release Notes: Incoming AXFR interoperability with several nameservers has been restored. Improvements have been incorporated to allow PowerDNS to serve 49% of domains in one of the largest DNS zones. The BIND compatibility backend has been improved in terms of quality, speed, and memory use, surpassing the original. DNSSEC record types are now supported. The recursor has been ported to the new packet/zone-parsing/generating code, which adds EDNS0, allowing for larger UDP responses. Root-referral responses have been implemented to quiet older non-compliant nameservers.
Release Notes: The PowerDNS Recursor has been upgraded to handle vast amounts of traffic (over 20 mbit/s), and now appears to be one of the fastest recursors around. A Generic Oracle backend was added, as well as a set of DNS analysis utilities, allowing the replaying of stored traffic to verify PowerDNS performance against existing installations. The Bind2 backend can now read gzipped zones, and uses only about as much memory as the zone on disk does. Various compilation fixes and bugfixes were made. More comprehensive support for query-local address was implemented.
Release Notes: Three small fixes were made - SOA hostmaster addresses with a dot in the local part were not properly encoded, the logging facility setting was only honored on the command line, and zone2sql forgot to maintain the slave state of domains with the PostgreSQL backend.
