================
FEATURES:
- database: "" starts without mmap of database. Less memory is used,
zones are read from text zonefile.
- optimised zonefile parse code and zonefile write code.
- zonefiles-write option in nsd.conf, enabled when database is "".
The server writes changed zonefiles to disk every hour.
- xfrdfile: "" disables xfrd.state. If enabled, zones that are
same as before are not checked for a serial update at server start.
- include: "foo/nsd.d/*.conf" works, wildcard glob on includes.
- nsd shuts down during init process if given signal.
- log-time-ascii option, default yes, with readable timestamp in log.
- nsd-control addzone reports if zone already exists.
- Fix#564: add nsd-checkzone tool to check zonefile correctness.
- Increased default --with-max-ips from 8 to 16, this increases the
number of interfaces you can specify in nsd.conf to listen to.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed shutdown message sporadically not printed on exit.
- Documented zonefile %s syntax in nsd.conf man page.
- Fix manpage to put colon after zonefiles check and write.
- Change from 'Zone" to "zone" with ".. serial .. is updated" log
message.
- Changed maxbackoff for no-content secondary zones from 4h to 24h.
- Fix print filename of encompassing config file on read failure.
- Fix delete or rename of a lot of zones and make it take a
non-enormous time.
- Speed up deletion of zone contents a lot, (56s to 1s), speeds up
delete, rename and AXFR for zones.
- Fix#571: unused variable and incompatible pointer warnings when
compiled on a system without INET6.
- Fix write_socket return value check in server.c
- Fix that xfrd reaps children also if the signal is lost.
- Fix#577: makefile incorrectly installed manpages from srcdir.
- Fix#587: Default value for statistics is 0.
- Fix#553: Improve TXT parsing.
- Fix#590: rrl log does not print wildcard as a star but escaped.
- Fix#591: rrl log messages at verbosity level 1.
- fix strptime implicit declaration error on OpenBSD.
- Fix -O3 compile flag to -O2 to avoid miscompilations.
- Allow user to override the -g -O2 CFLAGS in ./configure.
- Fix endian.h include for OpenBSD.
- Fix#600: document that provide-xfr provides AXFR and not IXFR.
- Fix rising-load-average or memory-leaks in OSes (Linux since 2.6),
that keep track of all past process parents, or leak memory
for them. Fix makes it so there is no very deep string of
process parents.
- Remove .LP after .SH in man pages.
Features:
* documented in doc/NSD-4-features. Change configuration without restart,
direct nameserver control with nsd-control, support a higher number of zones.
Higher performance (compared to NSD3).
* nsdc is gone. Use kill -HUP for reload (also checks if zonefiles have
changed and rereads them), and kill -TERM for quit. Or use nsd-control
for detailed control.
* cron job for nsdc patch is gone. nsd-control write creates zonefiles.
* nsd.db has a new format that compacts itself when it is changed,
thus nsdc patch is no longer necessary.
* nsd.db is memory mapped, NSD needs (part of) that mmap in ram.
* tcp-count can go above 1000; epoll/kqueue support with libevent.
* nsd-control reconfig for updates with no restart (zones, keys, ..)
* nsd-control-setup to create keys for nsd-control (enable nsd-control
with remote-control: yes in nsd.conf).
NOTE: the configuration file format has changed. Don't update blindly.
Major changes:
- integrated AXFR/IXFR support for zone transfer. IXFR is not supported
when acting as master.
- TSIG authentication support for queries, notifies and zone transfers.
- full NOTIFY support
- DNAME type is supported
- experimental support for NSEC3 and NSID, not enabled in pkgsrc
- various bug fixes.
${VARBASE}/db/nsd.db on all platforms and use user/group nsd for the
daemon to run as. Install sample configuration without .sample
extension. Take maintainership. Bump revision.
1.0.1
=============
FEATURES:
- NSD drops permissions after binding the sockets
- ``cache'' zones are no longer allowed
- ID.Server & Version.Server compile time options
- AXFR implemented (with tcpwrapper for access control)
- nsdc update and nsdc notify functinality
- using named-xfer with TSIG for inbound axfr
CHANGES:
- the order of records in the database is from now
on significant
