Hello!

Today we released the first beta version of what will become PowerDNS 
DNSdist 2.0.0.

This release fixes several issues related to the new YAML configuration 
format, contains small improvements, and adds a few new features:
- the SetEDNSOptionResponseAction response action has been added by 
Samir Aguiar
- the ability to add more meta-data information to protobuf messages via 
the Lua APIs
- a load-balancing policy based on the order then weight of backend 
servers has been implemented by @pacnal

As this release introduces major changes compared to the 1.9 versions, 
we invite everyone to test it as soon as possible to make sure that all 
existing use cases are still working properly, and that there is no 
performance degradation.

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].

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].
