This release contains the updated PostgreSQL schema for PowerDNS Security Advisory 2019-06 (CVE-2019-10203).
Upgrading is not enough - you need to manually apply the schema change: ALTER TABLE domains ALTER notified_serial TYPE bigint USING CASE WHEN notified_serial >= 0 THEN notified_serial::bigint END;

The full release notes can be read on the blog.
The 4.1 release is a major upgrade for the Authoritative Server featuring many improvements and speedups:
Recursor passthrough removal: This will impact many installations, and we realize this may be painful, but it is necessary. Previously, the PowerDNS Authoritative Server contained a facility for sending recursion desired queries to a resolving backend, possibly after first consulting its local cache. This feature (‘recursor=’) was frequently confusing and also delivered inconsistent results, for example when a query ended up referring to a CNAME that was outside of the Authoritative Server’s knowledge. To read more about this please see the blog post mentioned above or read the migration guide.

When a SOA record for a slave domain can’t be retrieved, use an increasing interval between checking the domain again. This prevents hammering down on already busy servers.

Existing zone files may now be interpreted differently. Specifically, where we previously used the SOA minimum field for the default TTL if none was set explicitly, or no $TTL was set, we now use the TTL from the previous line.
