Notes for BIND 9.19.8
---------------------
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ``coresize``, ``datasize``, ``files``, and ``stacksize`` options
have been removed. The limits these options set should be enforced
externally, either by manual configuration (e.g. using ``ulimit``) or
via the process supervisor (e.g. ``systemd``). :gl:`#3676`
- Dynamic updates that add and remove DNSKEY and NSEC3PARAM records no
longer trigger key rollovers and denial-of-existence operations. This
also means that the :any:`dnssec-secure-to-insecure` option has been
obsoleted. :gl:`#3686`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The TTL of the NSEC3PARAM record for every NSEC3-signed zone was
previously set to 0. It is now changed to match the SOA MINIMUM value
for the given zone. :gl:`#3570`
- The ``--with-tuning`` option for ``configure`` has been removed. Each
of the compile-time settings that required different values based on
the "workload" (which were previously affected by the value of the
``--with-tuning`` option) has either been removed or changed to a
sensible default. :gl:`#3664`
- The ``auto-dnssec`` option has been deprecated and will be removed
in a future BIND 9.19.x release. Please migrate to
:any:`dnssec-policy`. :gl:`#3667`
- Setting alternate local addresses for inbound zone transfers has been
deprecated. The relevant options (``alt-transfer-source``,
``alt-transfer-source-v6``, and ``use-alt-transfer-source``) will be
removed in a future BIND 9.19.x release. :gl:`#3694`
- On startup, :iscman:`named` now sets the limit on the number of open
files to the maximum allowed by the operating system, instead of
trying to set it to "unlimited". :gl:`#3676`
- The number of HTTP headers allowed in requests sent to
:iscman:`named`'s statistics channel has been increased from 10 to
100, to accommodate some browsers that send more than 10 headers
by default. :gl:`#3670`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- :iscman:`named` could crash due to an assertion failure when an HTTP
connection to the statistics channel was closed prematurely (due to a
connection error, shutdown, etc.). This has been fixed. :gl:`#3693`
- When a catalog zone was removed from the configuration, in some cases
a dangling pointer could cause the :iscman:`named` process to crash.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#3683`
- When a zone was deleted from a server, a key management object related
to that zone was inadvertently kept in memory and only released upon
shutdown. This could lead to constantly increasing memory use on
servers with a high rate of changes affecting the set of zones being
served. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3727`
- TLS configuration for primary servers was not applied for zones that
were members of a catalog zone. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3638`
- In certain cases, :iscman:`named` waited for the resolution of
outstanding recursive queries to finish before shutting down. This was
unintended and has been fixed. :gl:`#3183`
- :iscman:`host` and :iscman:`nslookup` command-line options setting the
custom TCP/UDP port to use were ignored for ANY queries (which are
sent over TCP). This has been fixed. :gl:`#3721`
- The new name compression code in BIND 9.19.7 was not compressing
names in zone transfers that should have been compressed, so zone
transfers were larger than before. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3706`
- The ``zone <name>/<class>: final reference detached`` log message was
moved from the INFO log level to the DEBUG(1) log level to prevent the
:iscman:`named-checkzone` tool from superfluously logging this message
in non-debug mode. :gl:`#3707`
Known Issues
