Notable new features:
* Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm keys and signatures in
DNSSEC are now supported per RFC 6605. [RT #21918]
* Introduces a new tool "dnssec-verify" that validates a signed zone,
checking for the correctness of signatures and NSEC/NSEC3 chains.
[RT #23673]
* BIND now recognizes the TLSA resource record type, created to
support IETF DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)
[RT #28989]
* The new "inline-signing" option, in combination with the
"auto-dnssec" option that was introduced in BIND 9.7, allows
named to sign zones completely transparently.

New Features
Adds a new configuration option, "check-spf"; valid values are
"warn" (default) and "ignore". When set to "warn", checks SPF
and TXT records in spf format, warning if either resource record
type occurs without a corresponding record of the other resource
record type. [RT #33355]
Adds support for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) resource
records. [RT #23386]
Adds support for the EUI48 and EUI64 RR types. [RT #33082]
Adds support for the RFC 6742 ILNP record types (NID, LP, L32,
and L64). [RT #31836]
Feature Changes
Changes timing of when slave zones send NOTIFY messages after
loading a new copy of the zone. They now send the NOTIFY before
writing the zone data to disk. This will result in quicker
propagation of updates in multi-level server structures. [RT #27242]
"named -V" can now report a source ID string. (This is will be
of most interest to developers and troubleshooters). The source
ID for ISC's production versions of BIND is defined in the "srcid"
file in the build tree and is normally set to the most recent
git hash. [RT #31494]
Response Policy Zone performance enhancements. New "response-policy"
option "min-ns-dots". "nsip" and "nsdname" now enabled by default
with RPZ. [RT #32251]

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
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:
https://www.isc.org/announcement/bind-9-dnssec-validation-fails-new-ds-record
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.
