Michał Kępień 2f37ab1dac Split release notes into per-version sections
Intertwining release notes from different BIND releases in a single XML
file has caused confusion in the past due to different (and often
arbitrary) approaches to keeping/removing release notes from older
releases on different BIND branches.  Divide doc/arm/notes.xml into
per-version sections to simplify determining the set of changes
introduced by a given release and to make adding/reviewing release notes
less error-prone.

DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV) is now obsolete.
The <command>dnssec-lookaside</command> option has been
marked as deprecated; when used in <filename>named.conf</filename>,
it will generate a warning but will otherwise be ignored.
All code enabling the use of lookaside validation has been removed
from the validator, <command>delv</command>, and the DNSSEC tools.

<para>
A SipHash 2-4 based DNS Cookie (RFC 7873) algorithm has been added and
made default. Old non-default HMAC-SHA based DNS Cookie algorithms
have been removed, and only the default AES algorithm is being kept
for legacy reasons. This change doesn't have any operational impact
in most common scenarios. [GL #605]
</para>
<para>
If you are running multiple DNS Servers (different versions of BIND 9
or DNS server from multiple vendors) responding from the same IP
address (anycast or load-balancing scenarios), you'll have to make
sure that all the servers are configured with the same DNS Cookie
algorithm and same Server Secret for the best performance.

The information from the <command>dnssec-signzone</command> and
<command>dnssec-verify</command> commands is now printed to standard
output. The standard error output is only used to print warnings and
errors, and in case the user requests the signed zone to be printed to
standard output with <command>-f -</command> option. A new
configuration option <command>-q</command> has been added to silence
all output on standard output except for the name of the signed zone.

Cache database statistics counters could report invalid values
when stale answers were enabled, because of a bug in counter
maintenance when cache data becomes stale. The statistics counters
have been corrected to report the number of RRsets for each
RR type that are active, stale but still potentially served,
or stale and marked for deletion. [GL #602]
