BIND 9.15 is an unstable development release of BIND.
|
|
This document summarizes new features and functional changes that
|
|
have been introduced on this branch. With each development release
|
|
leading up to the stable BIND 9.16 release, this document will be
|
|
updated with additional features added and bugs fixed.

<para>
|
|
Until BIND 9.12, new feature development releases were tagged
|
|
as "alpha" and "beta", leading up to the first stable release
|
|
for a given development branch, which always ended in ".0".
|
|
More recently, BIND adopted the "odd-unstable/even-stable"
|
|
release numbering convention. There will be no "alpha" or "beta"
|
|
releases in the 9.15 branch, only increasing version numbers.
|
|
So, for example, what would previously have been called 9.15.0a1,
|
|
9.15.0a2, 9.15.0b1, and so on, will instead be called 9.15.0,
|
|
9.15.1, 9.15.2, etc.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The first stable release from this development branch will be
|
|
renamed as 9.16.0. Thereafter, maintenance releases will continue
|
|
on the 9.16 branch, while unstable feature development proceeds in
|
|
9.17.

|
|
<para>
|
|
To build on UNIX-like systems, BIND 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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

|
|
More information can be found in the <filename>PLATFORMS.md</filename>
|
|
file that is included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your
|
|
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.

BIND is open source software licenced under the terms of the Mozilla

The license requires that if you make changes to BIND and distribute
|
|
them outside your organization, those changes must be published under
|
|
the same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
|
|
anything other than the changes you have made to our software. This
|
|
requirement does not affect anyone who is using BIND, with or without
|
|
modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing
|
|
BIND without changes.
