Notes for BIND 9.19.22
----------------------
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Information on incoming zone transfers in the statistics channel now also shows
the zones' "first refresh" flag, which indicates that a zone is not fully
ready and that its first ever refresh is pending or is in progress. The number
of such zones is now also exposed by the ``rndc status`` command. :gl:`#4241`
- The statistics channel now includes counters that indicate the number
of currently connected TCP IPv4/IPv6 clients. :gl:`#4425`
- HSM support was added to :any:`dnssec-policy`. Keys can now be configured with a
``key-store`` that allows users to set the directory where key files are stored and to
set a PKCS#11 URI string. The latter requires OpenSSL 3 and a valid PKCS#11
provider to be configured for OpenSSL. :gl:`#1129`
- The ``tls`` block was extended with a new ``cipher-suites`` option
that allows permitted cipher suites for TLSv1.3 to be set. Please
consult the documentation for additional details.
:gl:`#3504`
- Support for the RESINFO record type was added. :gl:`#4413`
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- BIND 9 no longer supports non-zero :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` values,
when the feature is turned on. When using a non-zero value, :iscman:`named` now
generates a warning log message, and treats the value as ``0``. :gl:`#4447`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ``dnssec-validation yes`` option now requires an explicitly configured
:any:`trust-anchors` statement. If using manual trust anchors is not
operationally required, then please consider using ``dnssec-validation auto``
instead. :gl:`#4373`
- The red-black tree data structure used in the RBTDB (the default
database implementation for cache and zone databases),
has been replaced with QP-tries. This is expected to improve
performance and scalability, though in the current implementation
it is known to have larger memory consumption.
A side effect of this change is that zone files that are created with
:any:`masterfile-style` ``relative`` - for example, the output of
:any:`dnssec-signzone` - will no longer have multiple different
`$ORIGIN` statements. There should be no other changes to server
behavior.
The old RBT-based database still exists for now, and can be used by
specifying ``database rbt`` in a ``zone`` statement in ``named.conf``,
or by compiling with ``configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt``.
:gl:`#4411`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- A regression in cache-cleaning code enabled memory use to grow
significantly more quickly than before, until the configured
:any:`max-cache-size` limit was reached. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#4596`
- Using :option:`rndc flush` inadvertently caused cache cleaning to
become less effective. This could ultimately lead to the configured
:any:`max-cache-size` limit being exceeded and has now been fixed.
:gl:`#4621`
- The logic for cleaning up expired cached DNS records was
tweaked to be more aggressive. This change helps with enforcing
:any:`max-cache-ttl` and :any:`max-ncache-ttl` in a timely manner.
:gl:`#4591`
- Changes to ``listen-on`` statements were ignored on reconfiguration
unless the port or interface address was changed, making it
impossible to change a related listener transport type. That issue
has been fixed.
ISC would like to thank Thomas Amgarten for bringing this issue to
our attention. :gl:`#4518` :gl:`#4528`
- It was possible to trigger a use-after-free assertion when the overmem cache
cleaning was initiated. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4595`
ISC would like to thank Jinmei Tatuya of Infoblox for bringing
this issue to our attention.
