New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Tighten 'max-recursion-queries' and add 'max-query-restarts' option.
- Tighten :any:`max-recursion-queries` and add :any:`max-query-restarts`
configuration statement.
There were cases in resolver.c when the `max-recursion-queries` quota
was ineffective. It was possible to craft zones that would cause a
resolver to waste resources by sending excessive queries while
There were cases when the :any:`max-recursion-queries`
quota was ineffective. It was possible to craft zones that would cause
a resolver to waste resources by sending excessive queries while
attempting to resolve a name. This has been addressed by correcting
errors in the implementation of `max-recursion-queries`, and by
errors in the implementation of :any:`max-recursion-queries`, and by
reducing the default value from 100 to 32.
In addition, a new `max-query-restarts` option has been added which
limits the number of times a recursive server will follow CNAME or
DNAME records before terminating resolution. This was previously a
hard-coded limit of 16, and now defaults to 11. :gl:`#4741`

- Implement rndc retransfer -force.
- Implement ``rndc retransfer -force``.
A new optional argument '-force' has been added to the command channel
command 'rndc retransfer'. When it is specified, named aborts the
ongoing zone transfer (if there is one), and starts a new transfer.

- Add support for external log rotation tools.
Add two mechanisms to close open log files. The first is `rndc
closelogs`. The second is `kill -USR1 <pid>`. They are intended to be
used with external log rotation tools. :gl:`#4780` :gl:`!9113`

- Remove OpenSSL 1.x Engine support.
- Remove OpenSSL 1.x engine support.
The OpenSSL 1.x Engines support has been deprecated in the OpenSSL 3.x
and is going to be removed from the upstream OpenSSL. Remove the
OpenSSL Engine support from BIND 9 in favor of OpenSSL 3.x Providers.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer (or an equivalent LibreSSL version) is now
required to compile BIND 9. :gl:`#2806` :gl:`!9110`
- Allow shorter resolver-query-timeout configuration.
- Allow shorter :any:`resolver-query-timeout` configuration.
The minimum allowed value of 'resolver-query-timeout' was lowered to
301 milliseconds instead of the earlier 10000 milliseconds (which is
the default). As earlier, values less than or equal to 300 are

is the default). As earlier, values less than or equal to 300 are
converted to seconds before applying the limit. :gl:`#4320`

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Reconfigure catz member zones during named reconfiguration.
- Reconfigure catz member zones during :iscman:`named` reconfiguration.
During a reconfiguration named wasn't reconfiguring catalog zones'
member zones. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4733`
During a reconfiguration, :iscman:`named` wasn't reconfiguring catalog
zones' member zones. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4733`
- Fix --enable-tracing build on systems without dtrace.
- Fix ``--enable-tracing`` build on systems without dtrace.
Missing file util/dtrace.sh prevented builds on system without dtrace
utility. This has been corrected.
Missing ``util/dtrace.sh`` file prevented builds on systems without
the ``dtrace`` utility. This has been corrected.
- Dig now reports missing query section for opcode QUERY.
- :iscman:`dig` now reports missing QUESTION section for opcode QUERY.
Query responses should contain the question section with some
exceptions. Dig was not reporting this. :gl:`#4808` :gl:`!9233`

- Fix assertion failure in the glue cache.
- Fix assertion failure in glue cache code.
Fix an assertion failure that could happen as a result of data race
between free_gluetable() and addglue() on the same headers.
between ``free_gluetable()`` and ``addglue()`` on the same headers.
:gl:`#4691` :gl:`!9126`
- Raise the log level of priming failures.
When a priming query is complete, it's currently logged at level
ISC_LOG_DEBUG(1), regardless of success or failure. We are now raising
it to ISC_LOG_NOTICE in the case of failure. [GL #3516] :gl:`#3516`
When a priming query is complete, it was previously logged at level
``ISC_LOG_DEBUG(1)``, regardless of success or failure. It is now
logged to ``ISC_LOG_NOTICE`` in the case of failure. :gl:`#3516`
:gl:`!9121`
- Fix assertion failure when checking named-checkconf version.
- Fix assertion failure when checking :iscman:`named-checkconf` version.
Checking the version of `named-checkconf` would end with assertion
failure. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4827` :gl:`!9243`
failure. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4827` :gl:`!9243`
- Valid TSIG signatures with invalid time cause crash.
- Fix a crash caused by valid TSIG signatures with invalid time.
An assertion failure triggers when the TSIG has valid cryptographic
signature, but the time is invalid. This can happen when the times
between the primary and secondary servers are not synchronised.
:gl:`#4811` :gl:`!9234`
- Remove extra newline from yaml output.
I split this into two commits, one for the actual newline removal, and
one for issues I found, ruining the yaml output when some errors were
outputted.
An assertion failure was triggered when the TSIG had valid
cryptographic signature, but the time was invalid. This could happen
when the times between the primary and secondary servers were not
synchronised. The crash has now been fixed. :gl:`#4811` :gl:`!9234`
- Fix generation of 6to4-self name expansion from IPv4 address.
The period between the most significant nibble of the encoded IPv4
address and the 2.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA suffix was missing resulting in the
wrong name being checked. Add system test for 6to4-self
implementation. :gl:`#4766` :gl:`!9099`
address and the 2.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA suffix was missing, resulting in the
wrong name being checked. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4766` :gl:`!9099`
- Fix false QNAME minimisation error being reported.
Remove the false positive "success resolving" log message when QNAME
minimisation is in effect and the final result is NXDOMAIN.
Remove the false positive ``success resolving`` log message when QNAME
minimisation is in effect and the final result is an NXDOMAIN.

output. :gl:`#4796` :gl:`!9127`

- SVBC ALPN text parsing failed to reject zero-length ALPN.
:gl:`#4775` :gl:`!9106`
- Return SERVFAIL for a too long CNAME chain.
When cutting a long CNAME chain, named was returning NOERROR instead
of SERVFAIL (alongside with a partial answer). This has been fixed.
:gl:`#4449` :gl:`!9090`
When cutting a long CNAME chain, :iscman:`named` was returning NOERROR
instead of SERVFAIL (alongside with a partial answer). This has been

- Properly calculate the amount of system memory.
- Update key lifetime and metadata after :any:`dnssec-policy` reconfig.
On 32 bit machines isc_meminfo_totalphys could return an incorrect
value. :gl:`#4799` :gl:`!9132`
- Update key lifetime and metadata after dnssec-policy reconfig.
Adjust key state and timing metadata if dnssec-policy key lifetime
configuration is updated, so that it also affects existing keys.
