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
the problems related to the handling of broken DNSSEC trust chains.
This fix is only relevant for those who have DNSSEC validation
enabled and configure trust anchors from third parties, either
manually, or through a system like DLV.
security patches to the 9.6.1 version, as well as many other bug fixes.
This version also incorporates a different fix for the problem we had
patched in contrib/bind9/bin/dig/dighost.c, so that file is now back
to being the same as the vendor version.
Due to the fact that the DNSSEC algorithm that will be used to sign the
root zone is only included in this version and in 9.7.x those who wish
to do validation MUST upgrade to one of these prior to July 2010.
related to DNSSEC validation on a resolving name server that allows
access to untrusted users. If your system does not fall into all 3 of
these categories you do not need to update immediately.
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.
This change was erronously ommitted from the r185690, and attempt
to simply add the prototype to string.h has revealed that several
contributed programs defined local prototypes for strndup(), controlled
by autoconfed config.h. So, manually change #undef HAVE_STRNDUP to
#define HAVE_STRNDUP 1. Next import of the corresponding program would
regenerate config.h, overriding the changes in this commit.
No objections from: kan
1. Install man files and links for the lwres library.
2. Fix the path in various files to say /etc/namedb/ instead of just /etc.
3. Correctly install the conf file man pages for named and rndc.
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.
