Hi All,

Today we are releasing version 4.0.4 of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server.

This release features a fix for the ed25519 signer. This signer hashed the 
message before signing, resulting in unverifiable signatures. Also on the 
Elliptic Curve front, support was added for ED448 (DNSSEC algorithm 16) by 
using libdecaf.

The full changelog is available[1] is as follows:

Improvements

    #5071: ODBC backend: Allow query logging
