It is possible to create the 0.9.0 release build to fix all CVEs (Vulnerabilities)?

I have been busy working on dnsconfd project, but I think it is time for a release already. Not much new features, but a lot of important bugs already fixed. Without known regressions AFAIK. So yes, it would be nice prepare a release finally. There is still few things that needs fixing, but hopefully next release will come in summer or so. We do not have a perfect release, but it is time for a release. Ideally before FOSDEM starts.

There is still open issue #501, which seems should be fixed if possible before we release.

I thought I would do a release today, but I have to finish preparations for my fosdem talk. I have pushed tag v0.9-rc1 to allow more testing and downloading of prepared archive. There might be just few minor changes on top in final v0.9. I would like to make a release in 14 days, but have no time now to prepare decent release notes, which I want in final release. I guess for development branches of distributions rc1 would be enough.

Hello @pemensik, any news on the 0.9 release? Thanks.

Sorry, still busy with bind9 CVE fixes on RHEL, which are my top priority for the moment.

I haven't forgotten, we have a new CVE-2024-2699 for issue #501, but more similar issues are coming. We need to improve also tracking of security related issues, for which I have not sufficient access here.

What's the status of this? Seems like there's still no release?
