Michał Kępień 2fadf29e6b Add a Sphinx role for linking GitLab issues/MRs
Define a :gl: Sphinx role that takes a GitLab issue/MR number as an
argument and creates a hyperlink to the relevant ISC GitLab URL.  This
makes it easy to reach ISC GitLab pages directly from the release notes.

Make all GitLab references in the release notes use the new Sphinx role.

Notes for BIND 9.17.11
----------------------
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ``dig`` has been extended to support DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) queries,
using ``dig +https`` and related options. :gl:`#1641`
- A new ``purge-keys`` option has been added to ``dnssec-policy``. It
sets the period of time that key files are retained after becoming
obsolete due to a key rollover; the default is 90 days. This feature
can be disabled by setting ``purge-keys`` to 0. :gl:`#2408`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To prevent users from inadvertently configuring unencrypted
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) in BIND 9, ``listen-on`` and ``listen-on-v6``
statements using the ``http`` parameter must now also specify the
``tls`` parameter. ``tls none`` can be used to explicitly allow
unencrypted HTTP connections. :gl:`#2472`
- ``http default`` can now be specified in ``listen-on`` and
``listen-on-v6`` statements to use the default HTTP endpoint of
``/dns-query``. It is no longer necessary to include an ``http``
statement in ``named.conf`` unless overriding this value. :gl:`#2472`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Zone journal (``.jnl``) files created by versions of ``named`` prior
to 9.16.12 were no longer compatible; this could cause problems when
upgrading if journal files were not synchronized first. This has been
corrected: older journal files can now be read when starting up. When
an old-style journal file is detected, it is updated to the new format
immediately after loading.
Note that journals created by the current version of ``named`` are not
usable by versions prior to 9.16.12. Before downgrading to a prior
release, users are advised to ensure that all dynamic zones have been
synchronized using ``rndc sync -clean``.
A journal file's format can be changed manually by running
``named-journalprint -d`` (downgrade) or ``named-journalprint -u``
(upgrade). Note that this *must not* be done while ``named`` is
running. :gl:`#2505`
- ``named`` crashed when it was allowed to serve stale answers and
``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was triggered without any (stale) data
available in the cache to answer the query. :gl:`#2503`
- If an outgoing packet exceeded ``max-udp-size``, ``named`` dropped it
instead of sending back a proper response. To prevent this problem,
the ``IP_DONTFRAG`` option is no longer set on UDP sockets, which has
been happening since BIND 9.17.6. :gl:`#2466`
- NSEC3 records were not immediately created when signing a dynamic zone
using ``dnssec-policy`` with ``nsec3param``. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#2498`
- A memory leak occurred when ``named`` was reconfigured after adding an
inline-signed zone with ``auto-dnssec maintain`` enabled. This has
been fixed. :gl:`#2041`
- An invalid direction field (not one of ``N``, ``S``, ``E``, ``W``) in
a LOC record resulted in an INSIST failure when a zone file containing
such a record was loaded. :gl:`#2499`
- If an invalid key name (e.g. ``a..b``) was specified in a
``primaries`` list in ``named.conf``, the wrong size was passed to
``isc_mem_put()``, which resulted in the returned memory being put on
the wrong free list and prevented ``named`` from starting up. This has
been fixed. :gl:`#2460`
- ``libtool`` was inadvertently introduced as a build-time requirement
when the build system was revamped in BIND 9.17.2. This unnecessarily
prevented hosts without that tool from building BIND 9 from source
tarballs. A standalone ``libtool`` script no longer needs to be
present in ``PATH`` to build BIND 9 from a source tarball. :gl:`#2504`
