-BIND 9.7.2
-
- BIND 9.7.2 will address bugs in 9.7.1, and also introduces
- some new functionality:
-
- - "rndc loadkeys" to allow new keys to be added to a managed
- zone without having them sign the content immediately.
- - "rndc addzone" and "rndc delzone" allow adding and deleting
- zones at runtime. This requires the view to have the
- "new-zone-file" option set to a filename. Zone configuration
- information for new zones is specified in the 'rndc addzone'
- command line, and is stored in that file. To make new
- zones persist after a restart, "include" the file
- into named.conf in the appropriate view. (Note:
- This feature is not yet documented, and its syntax
- is expected to change.)
- - "rndc secroots" dumps a list of the current trusted and
- managed DNSSEC keys for each view.
- - "filter-aaaa-on-v4" can now be applied selectively to
- some IPv4 clients but not others, using the "filter-aaaa"
- ACL. (This feature requires BIND 9 to be built with
- the --enable-filter-aaaa configure option.)
-
-BIND 9.7.1
-
- BIND 9.7.1 is a maintenance release, fixing bugs in 9.7.0.
+BIND 9.8.0
+
+ DNS64 support (AAAA synthesis only initially).
BIND 9.7.0
Known issues in this release:
- - A validating resolver that has been incorrectly configured with
- an invalid trust anchor will be unable to resolve names covered
- by that trust anchor. In all current versions of BIND 9, such a
- resolver will also generate significant unnecessary DNS traffic
- while trying to validate. The latter problem will be addressed
- in future BIND 9 releases. In the meantime, to avoid these
- problems, exercise caution when configuring "trusted-keys":
- make sure all keys are correct and current when you add them,
- and update your configuration in a timely manner when keys
- roll over.
-
- In rare cases, DNSSEC validation can leak memory. When this
happens, it will cause an assertion failure when named exits,
but is otherwise harmless. A fix exists, but was too late for
Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10
Windows XP/2003/2008
- NOTE: As of BIND 9.5.1, 9.4.3, and 9.3.6, older versions of
- Windows, including Windows NT and Windows 2000, are no longer
- supported.

We have recent reports from the user community that a supported
version of BIND will build and run on the following systems:
on the configure command line. The default is operating
system dependent.
- Support for the "fixed" rrset-order option can be enabled
- or disabled by specifying "--enable-fixed-rrset" or
- "--disable-fixed-rrset" on the configure command line.
- The default is "disabled", to reduce memory footprint.
