Dear Knot Resolver users,
Knot Resolver 5.3.0 has been released!
Note regarding CentOS 8 packages: Due to the Red Hat's hostile decision
to exclude devel packages from their distribution, we won't be providing
upstream packages or maintaining knot-resolver package in EPEL8 until
libuv-devel has been included in official RHEL8 release [rhbz#1895872].
If you depend on these, we can find a solution for your use-case as part
of the paid support we offer [1].

Dear Knot Resolver users,
I have an early notification for those who rely on our upstream package
repositories for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04.
Ubuntu 16.04: We'll no longer provide packages after April 2021 when the
distribution reaches end of life.
Debian 9: Knot Resolver 5.x is the last supported major version for
Debian 9. Once we release a new major version, we'll no longer provide
packages for Debian 9. We expect to release our next major version in
the second half of 2021.
Packages for other distributions remain unaffected and are supported as
usual.
Thanks for understanding.
