Evan Hunt 92b305be4b add a compile-time option to select default zone and cache DB
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".

some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.

CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.

Notes for BIND 9.19.22
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- None.
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ``tls`` block was extended with a new ``cipher-suites`` option
that allows setting allowed cipher suites for TLSv1.3. Please
consult the documentation for additional details.
:gl:`#3504`
- The statistics channel now includes counters that indicate the number
of currently connected TCP IPv4/IPv6 clients. :gl:`#4425`
- The statistics channel's incoming zone transfers information now also shows
the zones' "first refresh" flag, which indicates that a zone is not fully
ready yet, and its first ever refresh is pending or is in-progress. The number
of such zones is now also exposed by the ``rndc status`` command. :gl:`#4241`
- Add HSM support to :any:`dnssec-policy`. You can now configure keys with a
``key-store`` that allows you to set the directory to store the key files and
set a PKCS#11 URI string. The latter requires OpenSSL 3 and a valid PKCS#11
provider to be configured for OpenSSL. :gl`#1129`.
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- BIND 9 no longer supports non-zero :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` values,
when the feature is turned on. When using a non-zero value, ``named`` now
generates a warning log message, and treats the value as ``0``. :gl:`#4447`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ``dnssec-validation yes`` option now requires an explicitly configured
:any:`trust-anchors` statement. If using manual trust anchors is not
operationally required, then please consider using ``dnssec-validation auto``
instead. :gl:`#4373`
- The red-black tree data structure used in the RBTDB (the default
database implementation for cache and zone databases),
has been replaced with QP-tries. This is expected to improve
performance and scalability, though in the current implementation
it is known to have larger memory consumption.
A side effect of this change is that zone files that are created with
:any:`masterfile-style` ``relative`` - for example, the output of
:any:`dnssec-signzone` - will no longer have multiple different
`$ORIGIN` statements. There should be no other changes to server
behavior.
The old RBT-based database still exists for now, and can be used by
specifying ``database rbt`` in a ``zone`` statement in ``named.conf``,
or by compiling with ``configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt``.
:gl:`#4411`.
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Changes to ``listen-on`` statements were ignored on reconfiguration
unless the port or interface address was changed, making it
impossible to change a related listener transport type. That issue
has been fixed.
ISC would like to thank Thomas Amgarten for bringing this issue to
our attention. :gl:`#4518`, :gl:`#4528`
- A use-after-free assertion might get triggered when the overmem cache
cleaning triggers. :gl:`#4595`
ISC would like to thank to Jinmei Tatuya from Infoblox for bringing
this issue to our attention.
- A regression in cache-cleaning code enabled memory use to grow
significantly more quickly than before, until the configured
:any:`max-cache-size` limit was reached. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#4596`
Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above
<relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known issues affecting this
BIND 9 branch.
