BIND 9.14 is a stable branch of BIND.
|
|
This document summarizes significant changes since the last
|
|
production release on that branch.

|
|
<p>
|
|
As of BIND 9.13/9.14, BIND has adopted the "odd-unstable/even-stable"
|
|
release numbering convention. BIND 9.14 contains new features added
|
|
during the BIND 9.13 development process. Henceforth, the 9.14 branch
|
|
will be limited to bug fixes and new feature development will proceed
|
|
in the unstable 9.15 branch, and so forth.

<a name="relnotes_platforms"></a>Supported Platforms</h3></div></div></div>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since 9.12, BIND has undergone substantial code refactoring and
|
|
cleanup, and some very old code has been removed that was needed
|
|
to support legacy platforms which are no longer supported by their
|
|
vendors and for which ISC is no longer able to perform quality
|
|
assurance testing. Specifically, workarounds for old versions of
|
|
UnixWare, BSD/OS, AIX, Tru64, SunOS, TruCluster and IRIX have been
|
|
removed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
On UNIX-like systems, BIND now requires support for POSIX.1c
|
|
threads (IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995), the Advanced Sockets API for
|
|
IPv6 (RFC 3542), and standard atomic operations provided by the
|
|
C compiler.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
More information can be found in the <code class="filename">PLATFORM.md</code>
|
|
file that is included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your
|
|
platform compiler and system libraries provide the above features,
|
|
BIND 9 should compile and run. If that isn't the case, the BIND
|
|
development team will generally accept patches that add support
|
|
for systems that are still supported by their respective vendors.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As of BIND 9.14, the BIND development team has also made cryptography
|
|
(i.e., TSIG and DNSSEC) an integral part of the DNS server. The
|
|
OpenSSL cryptography library must be available for the target
|
|
platform. A PKCS#11 provider can be used instead for Public Key
|
|
cryptography (i.e., DNSSEC signing and validation), but OpenSSL is
|
|
still required for general cryptography operations such as hashing
|
|
and random number generation.
