2.0.2
=============
BUG FIXES:
- Allow the use of a mnemonic for the algorithm field of a
DNSKEY record.
- Behavior of the zonec -v flag has been modified. By default
zonec will only print a single line with a summary of the
error count.
- Bug #75: Fixed typo in previous "fix".
NSD 2.0.1 release notes:
BUG FIXES:
- Queries for QTYPE DS (DNSSEC) were not handled correctly in
certain cases.
- Partial support for unknown RRs. Known RR types with
unknown RR data format is not yet supported.
- Bug #75: Fixed bad error message when nsdc update is run for
the first time.
- Bug #78: Multiple zones, each with include directives, are
now compiled correctly.
=============
BUG FIXES:
- Bug #59: NSD returns FORMERR when the query name is >= 246
bytes.
- Bug #60: Zonec runs out of file descriptors with many zones.
- Bug #61: nsdc uses /bin/sh hardwired (and should not).
- Bug #62: NSD is not able to log to a file.
- Bug #63: nsdc update and zonec are too tallkative.
- Bug #64: Answer for request of a host resolved by a
wildcard-resource-record is not understandable by dig.
=============
BUG FIXES:
- AXFR terminates early if a zone containa a CNAME pointing
the the zone's domain name (SOA record) (bug #56).
- During an AXFR memory above the top of the stack was
accessed. This could lead to occassional AXFR errors (bad
packets).
- NSD now prints its version number and exits when invoked
with the -v flag (bug #57).
- NSD prints help information and exits when invoked with the
-h flag.
1.2
=============
FEATURES:
- NSD is now a single parent process (handling child
termination and database reloads) plus multiple UDP and TCP
child processes handling queries. Before the parent process
also handled UDP queries. This change simplifies the parent
and child processes and allows the use of multiple
concurrent UDP servers.
- Experimental plugin support. This required a minor,
incompatible change to the database format. Make sure you
recompile your database. Use --enable-plugins to enable.
- Full IPv6 support (for multi-homing and for Linux, thanks to
Colm MacCárthaigh and Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino). Use
--enable-ipv6 to enable.
- Support for multi-homing with TCP connections.
- Support for SunOS 4.x has been dropped.
CODE CHANGES:
- NSD should now conform to the Single Unix Specification
(http://www.unix.org/).
- Const correctness for strings and some other data types.
- Removed code for Berkeley DB, hash tables, and mmap(2).
- Separate preprocessor flags from code flags (CPPFLAGS and
CFLAGS).
- Use uint8_t instead of u_char, uint{16,32}_t instead of
u_int{16,32}_t.
- Fixed warnings from mixing signed and unsigned types.
- Use sigaction(2) instead of signal(2).
- The query_process function has been split up for clarity.
BUG FIXES:
- CHAOS TXT queries failed on big-endian machines.
- Portability fixes for Tru64 (thanks to Stephane Bortzmeyer),
HP-UX, and MacOS X (thanks to Ronald van der Pol).
- Removed compile time limit on maximum number of TCP child
servers.
- Support for debugging UDP and TCP queries.
- Always ensure there is enough room for the EDNS record when
answering a query with EDNS enabled.
1.1
=============
FEATURES:
- ANSI C
- autoconf/configure
- new parser
- support for various RR types in zonec
- support for UNKN RR types
BUG FIXES:
- lots of zone parsing errors eliminated
- empty node matching bug gives NXDOMAIN
1.0.3

This release is a bug fix release and does not add any new features.
BUG FIXES:
- Ignore SIGPIPE errors (bug #43).
- Keep track of TCP child servers and restart if necessary.
(bug #55)
- Handle database reload failures correctly.
- Close UDP sockets in TCP child servers.
- Handle escaped characters (besides \.) in labels.
- Preserve the query's RD flag in the answer.

=============
FEATURES:
- -DBIND8_STATS to enable bind8 like [NX]STATS
- -t flag to make nsd chroot to a certain directory
- -s flag to make nsd produce statistics every s seconds
- /etc/nsd/nsdc.conf to overwrite default variables
for nsdc.sh
- less loggin and more radical tcp connection (mis)handling
