to be fully automated in zones configured for
dynamic DNS. 'auto-dnssec allow;' permits a zone
to be signed by creating keys for it in the
key-directory and using 'rndc sign <zone>'.
'auto-dnssec maintain;' allows that too, plus it
also keeps the zone's DNSSEC keys up to date
according to their timing metadata. [RT #19943]
private key file format, to allow implementation
of explicit key rollover in a future release
without impairing backward or forward compatibility.
[RT #20310]
- Keys without "publish" or "active" dates set will
no longer be used for smart signing. However,
those dates will be set to "now" by default when
a key is created; to generate a key but not use
it yet, use dnssec-keygen -G.
- New "inactive" date (dnssec-keygen/settime -I)
sets the time when a key is no longer used for
signing but is still published.
- The "unpublished" date (-U) is deprecated in
favor of "deleted" (-D).
[rt20247]
- dnssec-keygen and dnssec-settime can now set key
metadata fields 0 (to unset a value, use "none")
- dnssec-revoke sets the revocation date in
addition to the revoke bit
- dnssec-settime can now print individual metadata
fields instead of always printing all of them,
and can print them in unix epoch time format for
use by scripts

dnssec-* tools. Major changes:
- all dnssec-* tools now take a -K option to
specify a directory in which key files will be
stored
- DNSSEC can now store metadata indicating when
they are scheduled to be published, acttivated,
revoked or removed; these values can be set by
dnssec-keygen or overwritten by the new
dnssec-settime command
- dnssec-signzone -S (for "smart") option reads key
metadata and uses it to determine automatically
which keys to publish to the zone, use for
signing, revoke, or remove from the zone

maintenance. The new "managed-keys" statement can
be used in place of "trusted-keys" for zones which
support this protocol. (Note: this syntax is
expected to change prior to 9.7.0 final.) [RT #19248]
- add ddns-confgen command to generate
configuration text for named.conf
- add zone option "ddns-autoconf yes;", which
causes named to generate a TSIG session key
and allow updates to the zone using that key
- add '-l' (localhost) option to nsupdate, which
causes nsupdate to connect to a locally-running
named process using the session key generated
by named
