--- 9.2.0a1 released ---
850. [bug] dns_rbt_findnode() would not find nodes that were
split on a bitstring label somewhere other than in
the last label of the node. [RT #1351]
849. [func] <isc/net.h> will ensure INADDR_LOOPBACK is defined.
848. [func] A minimum max-cache-size of two megabytes is enforced
by the cache cleaner.
847. [func] Added isc_file_test(), which currently only has
some very basic functionality to test for the
existence of a file, whether a pathname is absolute,
or whether a pathname is the fundamental representation
of the current directory. It is intended that this
function can be expanded to test other things a
programmer might want to know about a file.
846. [func] A non-zero 'param' do dst_key_generate() when making an
hmac-md5 key means that good entropy is not required.
845. [bug] The access rights on the public file of a symmetric
key are now restricted as soon as the file is opened,
rather than after it has been written and closed.
844. [func] <isc/net.h> will ensure INADDR_LOOPBACK is defined,
just as <lwres/net.h> does.
843. [func] If no controls statement is present in named.conf,
or if any inet phrase of a controls statement is
lacking a keys clause, then a key will be automatically
generated by named and an rndc.conf-style file
named named.key will be written that uses it. rndc
will use this file only if its normal configuration
file, or one provided on the command line, does not
exist.
842. [func] 'rndc flush' now takes an optional view.
841. [bug] When sdb modules were not declared threadsafe, their
create and destroy functions were not serialized.
840. [bug] The config file parser could print the wrong file
name if an error was detected after an included file
was parsed. [RT #1353]
839. [func] Dump packets for which there was no view or that the
class could not be determined to category "unmatched".
838. [port] UnixWare 7.x.x is now suported by
bin/tests/system/ifconfig.sh.
837. [cleanup] Multithreading is now enabled by default only on
OSF1, Solaris 2.7 and newer, and AIX.
836. [func] Upgraded libtool to 1.4.
835. [bug] The dispatcher could enter a busy loop if
it got an I/O error receiving on a UDP socket.
[RT #1293]
834. [func] Accept (but warn about) master files beginning with
an SOA record without an explicit TTL field and
lacking a $TTL directive, by using the SOA MINTTL
as a default TTL. This is for backwards compatibility
with old versions of BIND 8, which accepted such
files without warning although they are illegal
according to RFC1035.
833. [cleanup] Moved dns_soa_*() from <dns/journal.h> to
<dns/soa.h>, and extended them to support
all the integer-valued fields of the SOA RR.
832. [bug] The default location for named.conf in named-checkconf
should depend on --sysconfdir like it does in named.
[RT #1258]
831. [placeholder]
830. [func] Implement 'rndc status'.
829. [bug] The DNS_R_ZONECUT result code should only be returned
when an ANY query is made with DNS_DBFIND_GLUEOK set.
In all other ANY query cases, returning the delegation
is better.
828. [bug] The errno value from recvfrom() could be overwritten
by logging code. [RT #1293]
827. [bug] When an IXFR protocol error occurs, the slave
should retry with AXFR.
826. [bug] Some IXFR protocol errors were not detected.
825. [bug] zone.c:ns_query() detached from the wrong zone
reference. [RT #1264]
824. [bug] Correct line numbers reported by dns_master_load().
[RT #1263]
823. [func] The output of "dig -h" now goes to stdout so that it
can easily be piped through "more". [RT #1254]
822. [bug] Sending nxrrset prerequisites would crash nsupdate.
[RT #1248]
821. [bug] The program name used when logging to syslog should
be stripped of leading path components.
[RT #1178, #1232]
820. [bug] Name server address lookups failed to follow
A6 chains into the glue of local authoritative
zones.
819. [bug] In certain cases, the resolver's attempts to
restart an address lookup at the root could cause
the fetch to deadlock (with itself) instead of
restarting. [RT #1225]
818. [bug] Certain pathological responses to ANY queries could
cause an assertion failure. [RT #1218]
817. [func] Adjust timeouts for dialup zone queries.
816. [bug] Report potential problems with log file accessibility
at configuration time, since such problems can't
reliably be reported at the time they actually occur.
815. [bug] If a log file was specified with a path separator
character (i.e. "/") in its name and the directory
did not exist, the log file's name was treated as
though it were the directory name. [RT #1189]
814. [bug] Socket objects left over from accept() failures
were incorrectly destroyed, causing corruption
of socket manager data structures.
813. [bug] File descriptors exceeding FD_SETSIZE were handled
badly. [RT #1192]
812. [bug] dig sometimes printed incomplete IXFR responses
due to an uninitialized variable. [RT #1188]
811. [bug] Parentheses were not quoted in zone dumps. [RT #1194]
810. [bug] The signer name in SIG records was not properly
downcased when signing/verifying records. [RT #1186]
809. [bug] Configuring a non-local address as a transfer-source
could cause an assertion failure during load.
808. [func] Add 'rndc flush' to flush the server's cache.
807. [bug] When setting up TCP connections for incoming zone
transfers, the transfer-source port was not
ignored like it should be.
806. [bug] DNS_R_SEENINCLUDE was failing to propagate back up
the calling stack to the zone maintence level, causing
zones to not reload when an included file was touched
but the top-level zone file was not.
805. [bug] When using "forward only", missing root hints should
not cause queries to fail. [RT #1143]
804. [bug] Attempting to obtain entropy could fail in some
situations. This would be most common on systems
with user-space threads. [RT #1131]
803. [bug] Treat all SIG queries as if they have the CD bit set,
otherwise no data will be returned [RT #749]
802. [bug] DNSSEC key tags were computed incorrectly in almost
all cases. [RT #1146]
801. [bug] nsupdate should treat lines beginning with ';' as
comments. [RT #1139]
800. [bug] dnssec-signzone produced incorrect statistics for
large zones. [RT #1133]
799. [bug] The ADB didn't find AAAA glue in a zone unless A6
glue was also present.
798. [bug] nsupdate should be able to reject bad input lines
and continue. [RT #1130]
797. [func] Issue a warning if the 'directory' option contains
a relative path. [RT #269]
796. [func] When a size limit is associated with a log file,
only roll it when the size is reached, not every
time the log file is opened. [RT #1096]
795. [func] Add the +multiline option to dig. [RT #1095]
794. [func] Implement the "port" and "default-port" statements
in rndc.conf.
793. [cleanup] The DNSSEC tools could create filenames that were
illegal or contained shell metacharacters. They
now use a different text encoding of names that
doesn't have these problems. [RT #1101]
792. [cleanup] Replace the OMAPI command channel protocol with a
simpler one.
791. [bug] The command channel now works over IPv6.
790. [bug] Wildcards created using dynamic update or IXFR
could fail to match. [RT #1111]
789. [bug] The "localhost" and "localnets" ACLs did not match
when used as the second element of a two-element
sortlist item.
788. [func] Add the "match-mapped-addresses" option, which
causes IPv6 v4mapped addresses to be treated as
IPv4 addresses for the purpose of acl matching.
787. [bug] The DNSSEC tools failed to downcase domain
names when mapping them into file names.
786. [bug] When DNSSEC signing/verifying data, owner names were
not properly downcased.
785. [bug] A race condition in the resolver could cause
an assertion failure. [RT #673, #872, #1048]
784. [bug] nsupdate and other programs would not quit properly
if some signals were blocked by the caller. [RT #1081]
783. [bug] Following CNAMEs could cause an assertion failure
when either using an sdb database or under very
rare conditions.
782. [func] Implement the "serial-query-rate" option.
781. [func] Avoid error packet loops by dropping duplicate FORMERR
responses. [RT #1006]
780. [bug] Error handling code dealing with out of memory or
other rare errors could lead to assertion failures
by calling functions on unitialized names. [RT #1065]
779. [func] Added the "minimal-responses" option.
778. [bug] When starting cache cleaning, cleaning_timer_action()
returned without first pausing the iterator, which
could cause deadlock. [RT #998]
777. [bug] An empty forwarders list in a zone failed to override
global forwarders. [RT #995]
776. [func] Improved error reporting in denied messages. [RT #252]
775. [placeholder]
774. [func] max-cache-size is implemented.
773. [func] Added isc_rwlock_trylock() to attempt to lock without
blocking.
772. [bug] Owner names could be incorrectly omitted from cache
dumps in the presence of negative caching entries.
[RT #991]
771. [cleanup] TSIG errors related to unsynchronized clocks
are logged better. [RT #919]
770. [func] Add the "edns yes_or_no" statement to the server
clause. [RT #524]
769. [func] Improved error reporting when parsing rdata. [RT #740]
768. [bug] The server did not emit an SOA when a CNAME
or DNAME chain ended in NXDOMAIN in an
authoritative zone.
767. [placeholder]
766. [bug] A few cases in query_find() could leak fname.
This would trigger the mpctx->allocated == 0
assertion when the server exited.
[RT #739, #776, #798, #812, #818, #821, #845,
#892, #935, #966]
765. [func] ACL names are once again case insensitive, like
in BIND 8. [RT #252]
764. [func] Configuration files now allow "include" directives
in more places, such as inside the "view" statement.
[RT #377, #728, #860]
763. [func] Configuration files no longer have reserved words.
[RT #731, #753]
762. [cleanup] The named.conf and rndc.conf file parsers have
been completely rewritten.
761. [bug] _REENTRANT was still defined when building with
--disable-threads.
760. [contrib] Significant enhancements to the pgsql sdb driver.
759. [bug] The resolver didn't turn off "avoid fetches" mode
when restarting, possibly causing resolution
to fail when it should not. This bug only affected
platforms which support both IPv4 and IPv6. [RT #927]
758. [bug] The "avoid fetches" code did not treat negative
cache entries correctly, causing fetches that would
be useful to be avoided. This bug only affected
platforms which support both IPv4 and IPv6. [RT #927]
757. [func] Log zone transfers.
756. [bug] dns_zone_load() could "return" success when no master
file was configured.
755. [bug] Fix incorrectly formatted log messages in zone.c.
754. [bug] Certain failure conditions sending UDP packets
could cause the server to retry the transmission
indefinitely. [RT #902]
753. [bug] dig, host, and nslookup would fail to contact a
remote server if getaddrinfo() returned an IPv6
address on a system that doesn't support IPv6.
[RT #917]
752. [func] Correct bad tv_usec elements returned by
gettimeofday().
751. [func] Log successful zone loads / transfers. [RT #898]
750. [bug] A query should not match a DNAME whose trust level
is pending. [RT #916]
749. [bug] When a query matched a DNAME in a secure zone, the
server did not return the signature of the DNAME.
[RT #915]
748. [doc] List supported RFCs in doc/misc/rfc-compliance.
[RT #781]
747. [bug] The code to determine whether an IXFR was possible
did not properly check for a database that could
not have a journal. [RT #865, #908]
746. [bug] The sdb didn't clone rdatasets properly, causing
a crash when the server followed delegations. [RT #905]
745. [func] Report the owner name of records that fail
semantic checks while loading.
744. [bug] When returning DNS_R_CNAME or DNS_R_DNAME as the
result of an ANY or SIG query, the resolver failed
to setup the return event's rdatasets, causing an
assertion failure in the query code. [RT #881]
743. [bug] Receiving a large number of certain malformed
answers could cause named to stop responding.
[RT #861]
741. [port] Support openssl-engine. [RT #709]
740. [port] Handle openssl library mismatches slightly better.
739. [port] Look for /dev/random in configure, rather than
assuming it will be there for only a predefined
set of OSes.
738. [bug] If a non-threadsafe sdb driver supported AXFR and
received an AXFR request, it would deadlock or die
with an assertion failure. [RT #852]
737. [port] stdtime.c failed to compile on certain platforms.
736. [func] New functions isc_task_{begin,end}exclusive().
735. [doc] Add BIND 4 migration notes.
734. [bug] An attempt to re-lock the zone lock could occur if
the server was shutdown during a zone tranfer.
[RT #830]
733. [bug] Reference counts of dns_acl_t objects need to be
locked but were not. [RT #801, #821]
732. [bug] Glue with 0 TTL could also cause SERVFAIL. [RT #828]
731. [bug] Certain zone errors could cause named-checkzone to
fail ungracefully. [RT #819]
730. [bug] lwres_getaddrinfo() returns the correct result when
it fails to contact a server. [RT #768]
729. [port] pthread_setconcurrency() needs to be called on Solaris.
728. [bug] Fix comment processing on master file directives.
[RT# 757]
727. [port] Work around OS bug where accept() succeeds but
fails to fill in the peer address of the accepted
connection, by treating it as an error rather than
an assertion failure. [RT #809]
726. [func] Implement the "trace" and "notrace" commands in rndc.
725. [bug] Installing man pages could fail.
724. [func] New libisc functions isc_netaddr_any(),
isc_netaddr_any6().
723. [bug] Referrals whose NS RRs had a 0 TTL caused the resolver
to return DNS_R_SERVFAIL. [RT #783]
722. [func] Allow incremental loads to be canceled.
721. [cleanup] Load manager and dns_master_loadfilequota() are no
more.
720. [bug] Server could enter infinite loop in
dispatch.c:do_cancel(). [RT #733]
719. [bug] Rapid reloads could trigger an assertion failure.
[RT #743, #763]
718. [cleanup] "internal" is no longer a reserved word in named.conf.
[RT #753, #731]
717. [bug] Certain TKEY processing failure modes could
reference an uninitialized variable, causing the
server to crash. [RT #750]
716. [bug] The first line of a $INCLUDE master file was lost if
an origin was specified. [RT #744]
715. [bug] Resolving some A6 chains could cause an assertion
failure in adb.c. [RT #738]
714. [bug] Preserve interval timers across reloads unless changed.
[RT# 729]
713. [func] named-checkconf takes '-t directory' similar to named.
[RT #726]
712. [bug] Sending a large signed update message caused an
assertion failure. [RT #718]
711. [bug] The libisc and liblwres implementations of
inet_ntop contained an off by one error.
710. [func] The forwarders statement now takes an optional
port. [RT #418]
709. [bug] ANY or SIG queries for data with a TTL of 0
would return SERVFAIL. [RT #620]
708. [bug] When building with --with-openssl, the openssl headers
included with BIND 9 should not be used. [RT #702]
707. [func] The "filename" argument to named-checkzone is no
longer optional, to reduce confusion. [RT #612]
706. [bug] Zones with an explicit "allow-update { none; };"
were considered dynamic and therefore not reloaded
on SIGHUP or "rndc reload".
705. [port] Work out resource limit type for use where rlim_t is
not available. [RT #695]
704. [port] RLIMIT_NOFILE is not available on all platforms.
[RT #695]
703. [port] sys/select.h is needed on older platforms. [RT #695]
702. [func] If the address 0.0.0.0 is seen in resolv.conf,
use 127.0.0.1 instead. [RT #693]
701. [func] Root hints are now fully optional. Class IN
views use compiled-in hints by default, as
before. Non-IN views with no root hints now
provide authoritative service but not recursion.
A warning is logged if a view has neither root
hints nor authoritative data for the root. [RT #696]
700. [bug] $GENERATE range check was wrong. [RT #688]
699. [bug] The lexer mishandled empty quoted strings. [RT #694]
698. [bug] Aborting nsupdate with ^C would lead to several
race conditions.
697. [bug] nsupdate was not compatible with the undocumented
BIND 8 behavior of ignoring TTLs in "update delete"
commands. [RT #693]
696. [bug] lwresd would die with an assertion failure when passed
a zero-length name. [RT #692]
695. [bug] If the resolver attempted to query a blackholed or
bogus server, the resolution would fail immediately.
694. [bug] $GENERATE did not produce the last entry.
[RT #682, #683]
693. [bug] An empty lwres statement in named.conf caused
the server to crash while loading.
692. [bug] Deal with systems that have getaddrinfo() but not
gai_strerror(). [RT #679]
691. [bug] Configuring per-view forwarders caused an assertion
failure. [RT #675]
690. [func] $GENERATE now supports DNAME. [RT #654]
689. [doc] man pages are now installed. [RT #210]
688. [func] "make tags" now works on systems with the
"Exuberant Ctags" etags.
