Release Notes
=============
.. contents::
Introduction
------------
BIND 9.17 is an unstable development release of BIND. This document
summarizes new features and functional changes that have been introduced
on this branch. With each development release leading up to the stable
BIND 9.18 release, this document will be updated with additional
features added and bugs fixed. Please see the CHANGES file for a more
detailed list of changes and bug fixes.
Supported Platforms
-------------------
To build on Unix-like systems, BIND requires support for POSIX.1c
threads (IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995), the Advanced Sockets API for IPv6
(:rfc:`3542`), and standard atomic operations provided by the C
compiler.
The libuv asynchronous I/O library and the OpenSSL cryptography library
must be available for the target platform. A PKCS#11 provider can be
used instead of OpenSSL for Public Key cryptography (i.e., DNSSEC
signing and validation), but OpenSSL is still required for general
cryptography operations such as hashing and random number generation.
More information can be found in the ``PLATFORMS.md`` file that is
included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your compiler and
system libraries provide the above features, BIND 9 should compile and
run. If that is not the case, the BIND development team will generally
accept patches that add support for systems that are still supported by
their respective vendors.
Download
--------
The latest versions of BIND 9 software can always be found at
https://www.isc.org/download/. There you will find additional
information about each release, source code, and pre-compiled versions
for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

License
-------
BIND 9 is open source software licensed under the terms of the Mozilla
Public License, version 2.0 (see the ``LICENSE`` file for the full
text).
The license requires that if you make changes to BIND and distribute
them outside your organization, those changes must be published under
the same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
anything other than the changes you have made to our software. This
requirement does not affect anyone who is using BIND, with or without
modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing BIND
without changes.
Those wishing to discuss license compliance may contact ISC at
https://www.isc.org/contact/.
End of Life
-----------
BIND 9.17 is an unstable development branch. When its development is
complete, it will be renamed to BIND 9.18, which will be a stable
branch. The end-of-life date for BIND 9.18 has not yet been determined.
For those needing long-term stability, the current Extended Support
Version (ESV) is BIND 9.11, which will be supported until at least
December 2021. See https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896 for details of
ISC's software support policy.
