4664. [func] Add a "glue-cache" option to enable or disable the
glue cache. The default is "no" to reduce memory
usage, but enabling this option will improve
performance in delegation-heavy zones. [RT #45125]
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]
4610. [func] The "new-zones-directory" option specifies the
location of NZF or NZD files for storing
configuration of zones added by "rndc addzone".
Thanks to Petr Menšík. [RT #44853]
4579. [func] Logging channels and dnstap output files can now
be configured with a "suffix" option, set to
either "increment" or "timestamp", indicating
whether to use incrementing numbers or timestamps
as the file suffix when rolling over a log file.
[RT #42838]
4572. [func] The "dnstap-output" option can now take "size" and
"versions" parameters to indicate the maximum size
a dnstap log file can grow before rolling to a new
file, and how many old files to retain. [RT #44502]
4549. [func] Added support for the EDNS TCP Keepalive option
(RFC 7828). [RT #42126]
4548. [func] Added support for the EDNS Padding option (RFC 7830).
[RT #42094]
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]
no-auth and no-auth-recursive which suppress
adding the NS records to the authority section
as well as the associated address records for the
nameservers. [RT #42005]
to provide feedback to the trust-anchor administrators
about how key rollovers are progressing as per
draft-ietf-dnsop-edns-key-tag-02. This can be
disabled using 'trust-anchor-telemetry no;'.
[RT #40583]
4421. [func] When built with LMDB (Lightning Memory-mapped
Database), named will now use a database to store
the configuration for zones added by "rndc addzone"
instead of using a flat NZF file. This improves
performance of "rndc delzone" and "rndc modzone"
significantly. Existing NZF files will
automatically by converted to NZD databases.
To view the contents of an NZD or to roll back to
NZF format, use "named-nzd2nzf". To disable
this feature, use "configure --without-lmdb".
