-	BIND 9.1.0b2 is the second beta release of BIND 9.1.0.
+	This is a snapshot of the development source tree that
-	It fixes a number of bugs in 9.1.0b1 and adds some new
+	will become BIND 9.2.  Bind 9.2 will have a number of 
-	features such as a multithreaded DNSSEC signer and
+	new features over 9.1, including:
-	support for "rndc dumpdb" command.
 
-	Other features added since 9.0.x include:
+	  - The ability to automatically convert RFC1886-style
+	    recursive lookup requests into RFC2874-style lookups, 
+	    enabled using the new option "allow-v6-synthesis".
+            This allows stub resolvers that support AAAA records
+            but not A6 record chains or binary labels to perform
+            lookups in domains that make use of these IPv6 DNS
+            features.

+	resolver library and associated resolver daemon that fully
+	support forward and reverse lookups of both IPv4 and IPv6
+	addresses.  This library is still considered experimental and
+	is not a complete replacement for the BIND 8 resolver library.
+	Applications that use the BIND 8 res_* functions to perform
+	DNS lookups or dynamic updates still need to be linked against
+	the BIND 8 libraries.  For DNS lookups, they can also use the
+	new "getrrsetbyname()" API.

-	BIND 9.1.0 also includes experimental implementations of a
-	number of DNS protocols extensions still under development
-	in the IETF.  These include transparent processing of
-	unknown RR types and use of the EDNS "DNSSEC OK" bit to
-	explicitly enable DNSSEC processing in responses.

-	Cryptographic operations are now based on the OpenSSL

-	BIND 9.1.0 is primarily a name server software distribution.
-	In addition to the name server, it also includes a new
