4762. [func] "update-policy local" is now restricted to updates
from local addresses. (Previously, other addresses
were allowed so long as updates were signed by the
local session key.) [RT #45492]
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
4613. [func] By default, the maximum size of a zone journal file
is now twice the size of the zone's contents (there
is little benefit to a journal larger than this).
This can be overridden by setting "max-journal-size"
to "unlimited" or to an explicit value up to 2G.
Thanks to Tony Finch. [RT #38324]
provisioning secondary servers in which a list of
zones to be served is stored in a DNS zone and can
be propagated to slaves via AXFR/IXFR. [RT #41581]
4375. [func] Add support for automatic reallocation of isc_buffer
to isc_buffer_put* functions. [RT #42394]
3814. [func] The "masterfile-style" zone option controls the
formatting of dumped zone files. Options are
"relative" (multiline format) and "full" (one
record per line). The default is "relative".
[RT #20798]
3811. [func] "serial-update-method date;" sets serial number
on dynamic update to today's date in YYYYMMDDNN
format. (Thanks to Bradley Forschinger.) [RT #24903]
3746. [func] New "max-zone-ttl" option enforces maximum
TTLs for zones. If loading a zone containing a
higher TTL, the load fails. DDNS updates with
higher TTLs are accepted but the TTL is truncated.
(Note: Currently supported for master zones only;
inline-signing slaves will be added.) [RT #38405]
3535. [func] Add support for setting Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) values in named. Most configuration
options which take a "port" option (e.g.,
listen-on, forwarders, also-notify, masters,
notify-source, etc) can now also take a "dscp"
option specifying a code point for use with
outgoing traffic, if supported by the underlying
OS. [RT #27596]
3501. [func] zone-statistics now takes three options: full,
terse, and none. "yes" and "no" are retained as
synonyms for full and terse, respectively. [RT #29165]
3432. [func] Multiple DLZ databases can now be configured.
DLZ databases are searched in the order configured,
unless set to "search no", in which case a
zone can be configured to be retrieved from a
particular DLZ database by using a "dlz <name>"
option in the zone statement. DLZ databases can
support type "master" and "redirect" zones.
[RT #27597]
adds query type statistics at the zone level, and
flattens the XML tree and uses compressed format to
optimize parsing. Includes new XSL that permits
charting via the Google Charts API on browsers that
support javascript in XSL. The old XML schema has been
deprecated. [RT #30023]
3417. [placeholder]
- multiple DLZ's can be specified, including multiple DLZ's using
the same driver; e.g., two different back-ends both loaded by the
dlopen driver
- new "search" option can be specified in a DLZ indicating whether
this DLZ database should be searched for unknown zones. The
default is "yes". If "no", then the zone can only be found by
named if it's registered in the zone table, which happens if the
zone is configured for dynamic updates, or if "dlz <dlzname>" is
specified in the zone statement. (The latter functionality is
incomplete in this commit).
analysis after load failures. [RT #27087]
3248. [bug] Configure options --enable-fixed-rrset and
--enable-exportlib were incompatible with each
other. [RT #27087]
3247. [bug] 'raw' format zones failed to preserve load order
breaking 'fixed' sort order. [RT #27087]
3246. [bug] Named failed to start with a empty also-notify list.
