Hello!

We are very happy to release PowerDNS DNSdist 1.8.3 today, a maintenance 
release fixing a few bugs reported since 1.8.2:

- The exponential back-off timer used when a carbon server is 
unreachable had a bug that could lead to a busy-loop, consuming CPU time 
until the carbon server became reachable again
- In some cases, truncated UDP responses from a backend were not 
properly discarded
- Removing the last rule of a rules chain by its name or UUID was broken
- Several cosmetic issues related to eBPF dynamic blocks were fixed
- The JSON produced by the REST API might have been invalid when some 
special characters were present

In addition to these fixes, two new Lua bindings were added: 
DynBlockRulesGroup:removeRange and DNSHeader:getTC.

Please see the DNSdist website [1] for the more complete changelog [2] 
and the current documentation. The upgrade guide is also available there 
[3].

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing 
list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub [4].

We are immensely grateful to the PowerDNS community for the reporting of 
bugs, issues, feature requests, and especially to the submitters of 
fixes and implementations of features.

The release tarball [5] and its signature [6] are available on the 
downloads website, and packages for several distributions are available 
from our repository [7].
