.. warning::

    Please note that, if you use this experimental project in any production
    environment, you are on your own. This is a personal project which is
    developed according to the specific needs of its author. It is not meant
    to be a generic solution.

    Currently, the developer does not use it to maintain DNS data, so further
    development will take place at a very slow pace. At this time, no new
    features or bug fixes have been planned. The project no longer accepts
    feature requests, bug reports or any other user contribution or
    feedback. Please, do not contact the developer for any reason.

    If an extra feature or a fix of a specific bug is important for your use
    case scenario, then please consider cloning the source code repository and
    making any required modifications in your own space. If you lack the
    technical expertise for this process, then please consider hiring a
    developer to make and maintain these modifications for you. Please
    note that the author is not available for hire.

    Finally, it is recommended to take a look at the new HTTP API of PowerDNS
    and also at projects that use this API for the management of DNS data.
