pkgsrc changes:
- SQLite 2.x support no longer exists
- SQLite 3.x support cannot be compiled outside the main package because
of how symbols are distributed, so making it a compile time option
for net/powerdns now.
Too many changes since 2.9.22.5 (over 2 years ago), see the full changelog:
http://doc.powerdns.com/md/changelog/
Upgrade notes:
- PowerDNS 3.4 comes with a mandatory database schema upgrade coming from
any previous 3.x release.
- PowerDNS 3.1 introduces native SQLite3 support for storing key material for
DNSSEC in the bindbackend. With this change, support for bind+gsql-setups
('hybrid mode') has been dropped.
- PowerDNS 3.0 introduces full DNSSEC support which requires changes
to database schemas. By default, old non-DNSSEC schema is assumed.
