Removed the check for regex.h in configure in order
to disable regex syntax checking, as it exposes
BIND to a critical flaw in libregex on some
platforms. [RT #32688]

Security Fixes
Prevents named from aborting with a require assertion failure
on servers with DNS64 enabled. These crashes might occur as a
result of specific queries that are received.
New Features
* Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm keys and signatures in
DNSSEC are now supported per RFC 6605. [RT #21918]
Feature Changes
* Improves OpenSSL error logging [RT #29932]
* nslookup now returns a nonzero exit code when it is unable to get
an answer. [RT #29492]
Other critical bug fixes are included.

Security: CVE-2012-5688
Sponsored by: DK Hostmaster A/S
Feature Change
* BIND now recognizes the TLSA resource record type, created to
support IETF DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)
Bug Fix
* The locking strategy around the handling of iterative queries
has been tuned to reduce unnecessary contention in a multi-
threaded environment.
Other critical bug fixes are included.
All BIND users are encouraged to upgrade.
This includes a structural change regarding atomic ops. Previously they
were enabled on all platforms unless we had knowledge that they did not
work. However both work performed by marius@ on sparc64 and the fact that
the 9.8.x branch is fussier in this area has demonstrated that this is
not a safe approach. So I've modified a patch provided by marius to
enable them for i386, amd64, and ia64 only.
All 9.6 users with DNSSEC validation enabled should upgrade to this
version, or the latest version in the 9.7 branch, prior to 2011-03-31
in order to avoid validation failures for names in .COM as described
here:

In addition the fixes for this and other bugs, there are also the
following:
* Various fixes to kerberos support, including GSS-TSIG
* Various fixes to avoid leaking memory, and to problems that could
prevent a clean shutdown of named
lots of new features compared to 9.4.x, including:
Full NSEC3 support
Automatic zone re-signing
New update-policy methods tcp-self and 6to4-self
DHCID support.
More detailed statistics counters including those supported in BIND 8.
Faster ACL processing.
Efficient LRU cache-cleaning mechanism.
NSID support.
to match how similar syntax is used in the ports system. Thanks to kris
for pointing out my mistake here.
Install the lwres library unless the user defines NO_BIND, or the new
knob, NO_BIND_LIBS_LWRES. There is at least one potential customer
for this library in the wings. Thanks to nectar for the reminder.
but have a knob (WANT_BIND_LIBS) to build and install them in /usr/lib
and /usr/include. Rumors are that this may be useful at a later point,
let's see.
What this really means is that all BIND libraries are now internal to
buildworld (by default, unless WANT_BIND_LIBS is defined), and linked
statically into various BIND executables.
While here, removed redundant -I's from CFLAGS in lib/bind makefiles.

POSIX threads libraries are not available. Add crypto support if
the crypto libraries are available. Build dnssec-{keygen,signzone}
if crypto is available.
