Prevent runall.sh and "make test" from even attempting to run system
tests when "ifconfig.sh up" has not been run beforehand. This ensures
the user is not flooded with error messages in such a case.
- add CHANGES note
- update copyrights and license headers
- add -j to the make commands in .gitlab-ci.yml to take
advantage of parallelization in the gitlab CI process
Instead of exporting an environment variable containing a command line
argument (NOCLEAN="-n"), extend run.sh to handle a "boolean" environment
variable (SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN) itself. The former method is buggy
because the value of NOCLEAN is set in parallel.mk when that file is
first created, but it is not subsequently updated upon each test run
(because make considers parallel.mk to be up to date).
To retain backward compatibility, the "-n" command line argument for
run.sh is still supported (and has a higher priority than the relevant
environment variable).
The SYSTEMTEST_NO_CLEAN environment variable can also be used directly
to prevent cleanup when using "make test" instead of runall.sh.
Apart from fixing a bug, this simplifies the way runall.sh controls
run.sh behavior due to the Makefile being bypassed. Direct processing
of environment variables in run.sh is more scalable in the long run,
given that the previously utilized technique, even with its
implementation fixed, would still require Makefile.in to be modified in
two places each time a new flag needed to be passed from runall.sh to
run.sh.
When running all the system tests, output from a test is sent to a
test.output file in the test directory. These are combined in to
systests.output when the run finishes.
Miscellaneous tidying up of run management. The most significant
change is that "runall.sh" now runs _all_ the tests, even the
ones that can run in parallel. runsequential.sh is the script
to run tests that have not been converted to parallel running.
Some tests use more ports than just the query and control ports.
Each test that can run in parallel with other tests is now assigned
a unique block of 10 ports.
Via an intermediate make file, tests that have been modified to be able
to run in parallel are assigned unique query and control port numbers
(other than 5300 and 9953 respectively). Tests that have not yet been
modified all use ports 5300 and 9953, so must be run sequentially.
4713. [func] Added support for the DNS Response Policy Service
(DNSRPS) API, which allows named to use an external
response policy daemon when built with
"configure --enable-dnsrps". Thanks to Vernon
Schryver and Farsight Security. [RT #43376]
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]
4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
4040. [func] Added server-side support for pipelined TCP
queries. TCP connections are no longer closed after
the first query received from a client. (The new
"keep-response-order" option allows clients to be
specified for which the old behavior will still be
used.) [RT #37821]
4005. [func] The buffer used for returning text from rndc
commands is now dynamically resizable, allowing
arbitrarily large amounts of text to be sent back
to the client. (Prior to this change, it was
possible for the output of "rndc tsig-list" to be
truncated.) [RT #37731]
EDNS(1) queries (define DRAFT_ANDREWS_EDNS1 when
building). Add support for limiting the EDNS version
advertised to servers: server { edns-version 0; };
Log the EDNS version received in the query log.
[RT #35864]
3504. [func] Add support for ACLs based on geographic location,
using MaxMind GeoIP databases. Based on code
contributed by Ken Brownfield <kb@slide.com>.
[RT #30681]
