649. [bug] It was possible to join to an already running fctx
after it had "cloned" its events, but before it sent
them. In this case, the event of the newly joined
fetch would not contain the answer, and would
trigger the INSIST() in fctx_sendevents(). In
BIND 9.0, this bug did not trigger an INSIST(), but
caused the fetch to fail with a SERVFAIL result.

the prefix part. When such an improperly created
prefix was returned to the RBT database, the bogus
label was dutifully stored, corrupting the tree.
518. [bug] The resolver did not realize that a DNAME which was
"the answer" to the client's query was "the answer",
and such queries would fail. [RT #399]
517. [bug] The resolver's DNAME code would trigger an assertion
if there was more than one DNAME in the chain.
516. [bug] Cache lookups which had a NULL node pointer,
e.g. those by dns_view_find(), and which would match a
515. [bug] The ssu table was not being attached / detached
by dns_zone_[sg]etssutable. [RT#397]
514. [func] Retry refresh and notify queries if they timeout.
513. [func] New functionality added to rdnc and server to allow
individual zones to be refreshed or reloaded.
512. [bug] The zone transfer code could throw an execption with
511. [bug] The message code could throw an assertion on an
out of memory failure. [RT #392]
510. [bug] Remove spurious view notify warning. [RT #376]
509. [func] Add support for write of zone files on shutdown.
508. [func] dns_message_parse() can now do a best-effort
attempt, which should allow dig to print more invalid
507. [func] New functions dns_zone_flush(), dns_zt_flushanddetach()
and dns_view_flushanddetach().
506. [func] Do not fail to start on errors in zone files.
505. [bug] nsupdate was printing "unknown result code". [RT #373]
504. [bug] The zone was not being marked as dirty when updated via
503. [bug] dumptime was not being set along with
502. [func] On a SERVFAIL reply, DiG will now try the next server
in the list, unless the +fail option is specified.
501. [bug] Incorrect port numbers were being displayed by
500. [func] Nearly useless +details option removed from DiG.
499. [func] In DiG, specifying a class with -c or type with -t
changes command-line parsing so that classes and
types are only recognized if following -c or -t.
This allows hosts with the same name as a class or
498. [doc] There is now a man page for "dig"
497. [bug] The error messages printed when an IP match list
contained a network address with a nonzero host
part where not sufficiently detailed. [RT #365]
496. [bug] named didn't sanity check numeric parameters. [RT #361]
495. [bug] nsupdate was unable to handle large records. [RT #368]
494. [func] Do not cache NXDOMAIN responses for SOA queries.
493. [func] Return non-cachable (ttl = 0) NXDOMAIN responses
for SOA queries. This makes it easier to locate
the containing zone without polluting intermediate
492. [bug] attempting to reload a zone caused the server fail
to shutdown cleanly. [RT #360]
491. [bug] nsupdate would segfault when sending certain
prerequisites with empty RDATA. [RT #356]
490. [func] When a
slave/stub zone has not yet successfully
obtained an SOA containing the zone's configured
retry time, perform the SOA query retries using
exponential backoff. [RT #337]
489. [func] The zone manager now has a "i/o" queue.
488. [bug] Locks weren't properly destroyed in some cases.
487. [port] flockfile() is not defined on all systems.
486. [bug] nslookup: "set all" and "server" commands showed
the incorrect port number if a port other than 53
485. [func] When dig had more than one server to query, it would
send all of the messages at the same time. Add
rate limiting of the transmitted messages.
484. [bug] When the server was reloaded after removing addresses
from the
named.conf "listen-on" statement, sockets
were still listening on the removed addresses due
to reference count loops. [RT #325]
483. [bug] nslookup: "set all" showed a "search" option but it
482. [bug] nslookup: a plain "server" or "lserver" should be
481. [bug] nslookup:get_next_command() stack size could exceed
480. [bug] strtok() is not thread safe. [RT #349]
479. [func] The test suite can now be run by typing "make check"
or "make test" at the top level.
478. [bug] "make install" failed if the directory specified with
--prefix did not already exist.
477. [bug] The the
isc-config.sh script could be installed before
its directory was created. [RT #324]
476. [bug] A zone could expire while a zone transfer was in
progress triggering a INSIST failure. [RT #329]
475. [bug] query_getzonedb() sometimes returned a non-null version
on failure. This caused assertion failures when
generating query responses where names subject to
additional section processing pointed to a zone
to which access had been denied by means of the
allow-query option. [RT #336]
474. [bug] The mnemonic of the CHAOS class is CH according to
RFC1035, but it was printed and read only as CHAOS.
We now accept both forms as input, and print it
473. [bug] nsupdate overran the end of the list of name servers
when no servers could be reached, typically causing
it to print the error message "dns_request_create:
472. [bug] Off-by-one error caused isc_time_add() to sometimes
produce invalid time values.
471. [bug] nsupdate didn't compile on
HP/UX 10.20
470. [func] $GENERATE is now supported. See also
469. [bug] "query-source address * port 53;" now works.
468. [bug] dns_master_load*() failed to report file and line
number in certain error conditions.
467. [bug] dns_master_load*() failed to log an error if
466. [bug] dns_master_load*() could return success when it failed.
465. [cleanup] Allow 0 to be set as an omapi_value_t value by
464. [cleanup] Build with openssl's RSA code instead of dnssafe.
463. [bug] nsupdate sent malformed SOA queries to the second
query sent to the first one failed.
462. [bug] --disable-ipv6 should work now.
461. [bug] Specifying an unknown key in the "keys" clause of the
"controls" statement caused a NULL pointer dereference.
460. [bug] Much of the DNSSEC code only worked with class IN.
459. [bug] Nslookup processed the "set" command incorrectly.
458. [bug] Nslookup didn't properly check class and type values.
timeouts in certain situations, causing an
unnecessary warning message to be printed.
456. [bug] Stub zones were not resetting the refresh and expire
counters, loadtime or clearing the DNS_ZONE_REFRESH
(refresh in progress) flag upon successful update.
This disabled further refreshing of the stub zone,
causing it to eventually expire. [RT #300]
455. [doc] Document IPv4 prefix notation does not require a
dotted decimal quad but may be just dotted decimal.
454. [bug] Enforce dotted decimal and dotted decimal quad where
453. [bug] Warn if the obsolete option "maintain-ixfr-base"
452. [bug] Warn if the unimplemented option "statistics-file"
451. [func] Update forwarding implememted.
450. [func] New function ns_client_sendraw().
449. [bug] isc_bitstring_copy() only works correctly if the
two bitstrings have the same lsb0 value, but this
requirement was not documented, nor was there a
448. [bug] Host output formatting change, to match v8. [RT #255]
447. [bug] Dig didn't properly retry in TCP mode after
a truncated reply. [RT #277]
446. [bug] Confusing notify log message. [RT #298]
445. [bug] Doing a 0 bit isc_bitstring_copy() of an lsb0
bitstring triggered a REQUIRE statement. The REQUIRE
statement was incorrect. [RT #297]
444. [func] "recursion denied" messages are always logged at
debug level 1, now, rather than sometimes at ERROR.
This silences these warnings in the usual case, where
some clients set the RD bit in all queries.
443. [bug] When loading a master file failed because of an
unrecognized RR type name, the error message
did not include the file name and line number.
442. [bug] TSIG signed messages that did not match any view
crashed the server. [RT #290]
441. [bug] Nodes obscured by a DNAME were inaccessible even
when DNS_DBFIND_GLUEOK was set.
440. [func] New function dns_zone_forwardupdate().
439. [func] New function dns_request_createraw().
438. [func] New function dns_message_getrawmessage().
437. [func] Log NOTIFY activity to the notify channel.
436. [bug] If recvmsg() returned EHOSTUNREACH or ENETUNREACH,
which sometimes happens on Linux, named would enter
a busy loop. Also, unexpected socket errors were
not logged at a high enough logging level to be
useful in diagnosing this situation. [RT #275]
435. [bug] dns_zone_dump() overwrote existing zone files
rather than writing to a temporary file and
renaming. This could lead to empty or partial
zone files being left around in certain error
conditions involving the initial transfer of a
slave zone, interfering with subsequent server
434. [func] New function isc_file_isabsolute().
433. [func] isc_base64_decodestring() now accepts newlines
within the base64 data. This makes it possible
to break up the key data in a "trusted-keys"
statement into multiple lines. [RT #284]
retry time is now a random value between 75% and
100% of the configured value.
431. [func] Log at ISC_LOG_INFO when a zone is successfully
430. [bug] Rewrote the lightweight resolver client management
code to handle shutdown correctly and general
429. [bug] The space reserved for a TSIG record in a response
was 2 bytes too short, leading to message
428. [bug]
rbtdb.c:find_closest_nxt() erroneously returned
DNS_R_BADDB for nodes which had neither NXT nor SIG NXT
(
e.g. glue). This could cause SERVFAILs when
generating negative responses in a secure zone.
427. [bug] Avoid going into an infinite loop when the validator
gets a negative response to a key query where the
records are signed by the missing key.
426. [bug] Attempting to generate an oversized RSA key could
cause dnssec-keygen to dump core.
425. [bug] Warn about the auth-nxdomain default value change
if there is no auth-nxdomain statement in the
424. [bug] notify_createmessage() could trigger an assertion
failure when creating the notify message failed,
e.g. due to corrupt zones with multiple SOA records.
423. [bug] When responding to a recusive query, errors that occur
after following a CNAME should cause the query to fail.
422. [func] get rid of isc_random_t, and make isc_random_get()
and isc_random_jitter() use rand() internally
instead of local state. Note that isc_random_*()
functions are only for weak, non-critical "randomness"
such as timing jitter and such.
421. [bug] nslookup would exit when given a blank line as input.
420. [bug] nslookup failed to implement the "exit" command.
419. [bug] The certificate type PKIX was misspelled as SKIX.
418. [bug] At debug levels >= 10, getting an unexpected
socket receive error would crash the server
while trying to log the error message.
417. [func] Add isc_app_block() and isc_app_unblock(), which
allow an application to handle signals while
416. [bug] Slave zones with no master file tried to use a
NULL pointer for a journal file name when they
received an IXFR. [RT #273]
415. [bug] The logging code leaked file descriptors.
414. [bug] Server did not shut down until all incoming zone
413. [bug] Notify could attempt to use the zone database after
it had been unloaded. [RT#267]
412. [bug] named -v didn't print the version.
411. [bug] A typo in the HS A code caused an assertion failure.
410. [bug] lwres_gethostbyname() and company set lwres_h_errno
to a random value on success.
409. [bug] If named was shut down early in the startup
process, ns_omapi_shutdown() would attempt to lock
an unintialized mutex. [RT #262]
408. [bug] stub zones could leak memory and reference counts if
all the masters were unreachable.
407. [bug] isc_rwlock_lock() would needlessly block
readers when it reached the read quota even
if no writers were waiting.
406. [bug] Log messages were occasionally lost or corrupted
due to a race condition in isc_log_doit().
405. [func] Add support for selective forwarding (forward zones)
404. [bug] The request library didn't completely work with IPv6.
403. [bug] "host" did not use the search list.
402. [bug] Treat undefined acls as errors, rather than
warning and then later throwing an assertion.
401. [func] Added simple database API.
400. [bug] SIG(0) signing and verifying was done incorrectly.
399. [bug] When reloading the server with a config file
containing a syntax error, it could catch an
assertion failure trying to perform zone
maintenance on, or sending notifies from,
tentatively created zones whose views were
never fully configured and lacked an address
database and request manager.
398. [bug] "dig" sometimes caught an assertion failure when
using TSIG, depending on the key length.
397. [func] Added utility functions dns_view_gettsig() and
396. [doc] There is now a man page for "nsupdate"
395. [bug] nslookup printed incorrect RR type mnemonics
for RRs of type >= 21 [RT #237].
394. [bug] Current name was not propagated via $INCLUDE.
393. [func] Initial answer while loading (awl) support.
Entry points: dns_master_loadfileinc(),
dns_master_loadstreaminc(), dns_master_loadbufferinc().
Note: calls to dns_master_load*inc() should be rate
be rate limited so as to not use up all file
392. [func] Add ISC_R_FAMILYNOSUPPORT. Returned when OS does
not support the given address family requested.
391. [clarity] ISC_R_FAMILY -> ISC_R_FAMILYMISMATCH.
390. [func] The function dns_zone_setdbtype() now takes
both the zone database type and its arguments,
making the functions dns_zone_adddbarg()
and dns_zone_cleardbargs() unnecessary.
389. [bug] Attempting to send a reqeust over IPv6 using
dns_request_create() on a system without IPv6
support caused an assertion failure [RT #235].
388. [func] dig and host can now do reverse ipv6 lookups.
387. [func] Add dns_byaddr_createptrname(), which converts
an address into the name used by a PTR query.
386. [bug] Missing strdup() of ACL name caused random
ACL matching failures [RT #228].
385. [cleanup] Removed functions dns_zone_equal(), dns_zone_print(),
384. [bug] nsupdate was incorrectly limiting TTLs to 65535 instead
383. [func] When writing a master file, print the SOA and NS
records (and their SIGs) before other records.
382. [bug] named -u failed on many Linux systems where the
libc provided kernel headers do not match
381. [bug] Check for IPV6_RECVPKTINFO and use it instead of
IPV6_PKTINFO if found. [RT #229]
380. [bug] nsupdate didn't work with IPv6.
379. [func] New library function isc_sockaddr_anyofpf().
378. [func] named and lwresd will log the command line arguments
they were started with in the "starting ..." message.
377. [bug] When additional data lookups were refused due to
"allow-query", the databases were still being
attached causing reference leaks.
376. [bug] The server should always use good entropy when
performing cryptographic functions needing entropy.
375. [bug] Per-zone "allow-query" did not properly override the
374. [bug] SOA in authoritative negative responses had wrong TTL.
373. [func] nslookup is now installed by "make install".
372. [bug] Deal with Microsoft DNS servers appending two bytes of
garbage to zone transfer requests.
371. [bug] At high debug levels, doing an outgoing zone transfer
of a very large RRset could cause an assertion failure
370. [bug] The error messages for rollforward failures were
369. [func] Support new
named.conf options, view and zone
max-retry-time, min-retry-time,
max-refresh-time, min-refresh-time.
368. [func] Restructure the internal ".bind" view so that more
zones can be added to it.
367. [bug] Allow proper selection of server on nslookup command
366. [func] Allow use of '-' batch file in dig for stdin.
365. [bug] nsupdate -k leaked memory.
364. [func] Added additional-from-{cache,auth}
362. [bug] rndc no longer aborts if the configuration file is
missing an options statement. [RT #209]
361. [func] When the RBT find or chain functions set the name and
origin for a node that stores the root label
the name is now set to an empty name, instead of ".",
to simplify later use of the name and origin by
dns_name_concatenate(), dns_name_totext() or
360. [func] dns_name_totext() and dns_name_format() now allow
an empty name to be passed, which is formatted as "@".
359. [bug] dnssec-signzone occasionally signed glue records.
358. [cleanup] Rename the intermediate files used by the dnssec
357. [bug] The zone file parser crashed if the argument
to $INCLUDE was a quoted string.
356. [cleanup] isc_task_send no longer requires event->sender to
355. [func] Added isc_dir_createunique(), similar to mkdtemp().
354. [doc] Man pages for the dnssec tools are now included in
352. [bug] Race condition in dns_client_t startup could cause
351. [bug] Constructing a response with rcode SERVFAIL to a TSIG
signed query could crash the server.
350. [bug] Also-notify lists specified in the global options
block were not correctly reference counted, causing
349. [bug] Processing a query with the CD bit set now works
348. [func] New boolean
named.conf options 'additional-from-auth'
and 'additional-from-cache' now supported in view and
global options statement.

* Significantly improve structure handling
* Don't pre-load entire batch files
* Shorten timeouts to match v8's behavior
344. [bug] When shutting down, lwresd sometimes tried
to shut down its client tasks twice,
343. [bug] Although zone maintenance SOA queries and
notify requests were signed with TSIG keys
when configured for the server in case,
the TSIG was not verified on the response.
342. [bug] The wrong name was being passed to
dns_name_dup() when generating a TSIG
341. [func] Support 'key' clause in
named.conf zone masters
statement to allow authentication via TSIG keys:
10.0.0.1 port 5353 key "foo";
340. [bug] The top-level COPYRIGHT file was missing from
339. [bug] DNSSEC validation of the response to an ANY
query at a name with a CNAME RR in a secure
zone triggered an assertion failure.
338. [bug] lwresd logged to syslog as named, not lwresd.
337. [bug] "dig" did not recognize "nsap-ptr" as an RR type
336. [bug] "dig -f" used 64 k of memory for each line in
the file. It now uses much less, though still
proportionally to the file size.
335. [bug] named would occasionally attempt recursion when
it was disallowed or undesired.
334. [func] Added hmac-md5 to libisc.
333. [bug] The resolver incorrectly accepted referrals to
domains that were not parents of the query name,
causing assertion failures.
332. [func] New function dns_name_reset().
331. [bug] Only log "recursion denied" if RD is set. [RT #178]
330. [bug] Many debugging messages were partially formatted
even when debugging was turned off, causing a
significant decrease in query performance.
329. [func] omapi_auth_register() now takes a size_t argument for
the length of a key's secret data. Previously
OMAPI only stored secrets up to the first NUL byte.
328. [func] Added isc_base64_decodestring().
327. [bug]
rndc.conf parser wasn't correctly recognising an IP
address where a host specification was required.
326. [func] 'keys' in an 'inet' control statement is now
required and must have at least one item in it.
A "not supported" warning is now issued if a 'unix'
control channel is defined.
325. [bug] isc_lex_gettoken was processing octal strings when
ISC_LEXOPT_CNUMBER was not set.
324. [func] In the resolver, turn EDNS0 off if there is no
response after a number of retransmissions.
This is to allow queries some chance of succeeding
even if all the authoritative servers of a zone
silently discard EDNS0 requests instead of
sending an error response like they ought to.
323. [bug] dns_rbt_findname() did not ignore empty rbt nodes.
Because of this, servers authoritative for a parent
and grandchild zone but not authoritative for the
intervening child zone did not correctly issue
referrals to the servers of the child zone.
322. [bug] Queries for KEY RRs are now sent to the parent
server before the authoritative one, making
DNSSEC insecurity proofs work in many cases
where they previously didn't.
321. [bug] When synthesizing a CNAME RR for a DNAME
response, query_addcname() failed to intitialize
the type and class of the CNAME dns_rdata_t,
320. [func] Multiple rndc changes: parses an
rndc.conf file,
uses authentication to talk to named, command
line syntax changed. This will all be described
319. [func] The
named.conf "controls" statement is now used
to configure the OMAPI command channel.
318. [func] dns_c_ndcctx_destroy() could never return anything
except ISC_R_SUCCESS; made it have void return instead.
317. [func] Use callbacks from libomapi to determine if a
new connection is valid, and if a key requested
to be used with that connection is valid.
316. [bug] Generate a warning if we detect an unexpected <eof>
315. [bug] Handle non-empty blanks lines. [RT #163]
314. [func] The
named.conf controls statement can now have
more than one key specified for the inet clause.
313. [bug] When parsing
resolv.conf, don't terminate on an
error. Instead, parse as much as possible, but
still return an error if one was found.
312. [bug] Increase the number of allowed elements in the
are more than this, ignore the remainder rather
than returning a failure in lwres_conf_parse.
311. [bug] lwres_conf_parse failed when the first line of
310. [func] Changes to
named.conf "controls" statement (inet
allow { any; } keys { "foo"; }
- allow "port xxx" to be left out of statement,
in which case it defaults to omapi's default port
309. [bug] When sending a referral, the server did not look
for name server addresses as glue in the zone
holding the NS RRset in the case where this zone
was not the same as the one where it looked for
name server addresses as authoritative data.
308. [bug] Treat a SOA record not at top of zone as an error
when loading a zone. [RT #154]
307. [bug] When canceling a query, the resolver didn't check for
isc_socket_sendto() calls that did not yet have their
completion events posted, so it could (rarely) end up
destroying the query context and then want to use
it again when the send event posted, triggering an
assertion as it tried to cancel an already-canceled
306. [bug] Reading HMAC-MD5 private key files didn't work.
305. [bug] When reloading the server with a config file
containing a syntax error, it could catch an
assertion failure trying to perform zone
maintenance on tentatively created zones whose
views were never fully configured and lacked
304. [bug] If more than LWRES_CONFMAXNAMESERVERS servers
instead of returning failure.
303. [bug] Add additional sanity checks to differentiate a AXFR
response vs a IXFR response. [RT #157]
302. [bug] In dig, host, and nslookup, MXNAME should be large
enough to hold any legal domain name in presentation
format + terminating NULL.
301. [bug] Uninitalised pointer in host:printmessage(). [RT #159]
on platforms lacking IPv6 because each included their
own ipv6 header file for the missing definitions. Now
each library's
ipv6.h defines the wrapper symbol of
the other (ISC_IPV6_H and LWRES_IPV6_H).
299. [cleanup] Get the user and group information before changing the
root directory, so the administrator does not need to
keep a copy of the user and group databases in the
chroot'ed environment. Suggested by Hakan Olsson.
298. [bug] A mutex deadlock occurred during shutdown of the
interface manager under certain conditions.
Digital Unix systems were the most affected.
297. [bug] Specifying a key name that wasn't fully qualified
in certain parts of the config file could cause
296. [bug] "make install" from a separate build directory
failed unless configure had been run in the source
295. [bug] When invoked with type==CNAME and a message
not constructed by dns_message_parse(),
dns_message_findname() failed to find anything
due to checking for attribute bits that are set
only in dns_message_parse(). This caused an
infinite loop when constructing the response to
an ANY query at a CNAME in a secure zone.
294. [bug] If we run out of space in while processing glue
when reading a master file and commit "current name"
reverts to "name_current" instead of staying as
293. [port] Add support for FreeBSD 4.0 system tests.
292. [bug] Due to problems with the way some operating systems
handle simultaneous listening on IPv4 and IPv6
addresses, the server no longer listens on IPv6
addresses by default. To revert to the previous
behavior, specify "listen-on-v6 { any; };" in
291. [func] Caching servers no longer send outgoing queries
over TCP just because the incoming recursive query
290. [cleanup] +twiddle option to dig (for testing only) removed.
289. [cleanup] dig is now installed in $bindir instead of $sbindir.
host is now installed in $bindir. (Be sure to remove
288. [func] rndc is now installed by "make install" into $sbindir.
287. [bug] rndc now works again as "rndc 127.1 reload" (for
only that task). Parsing its configuration file and
using digital signatures for authentication has been
disabled until named supports the "controls" statement,
286. [bug] On Solaris 2, when named inherited a signal state
where SIGHUP had the SIG_IGN action, SIGHUP would
be ignored rather than causing the server to reload
285. [bug] A change made to the dst API for beta4 inadvertently
broke OMAPI's creation of a dst key from an incoming
message, causing an assertion to be triggered. Fixed.
284. [func] The DNSSEC key generation and signing tools now
generate randomness from keyboard input on systems
283. [cleanup] The 'lwresd' program is now a link to 'named'.
282. [bug] The lexer now returns ISC_R_RANGE if parsed integer is
too big for an unsigned long.
281. [bug] Fixed list of recognized config file category names.
easily build applications that link with

note of when isc_log_categorybyname() wasn't able
to find the category name and would then apply the
channel list of the unknown category to all categories.
277. [bug] isc_log_categorybyname() and isc_log_modulebyname()
would fail to find the first member of any category
or module array apart from the internal defaults.

now 'many-answers'. This will break zone transfers
to BIND 4.9.5 and older unless there is an explicit
'one-answer' configuration.
272. [bug] The sending of large TCP responses was canceled
in mid-transmission due to a race condition
caused by the failure to set the client object's
"newstate" variable correctly when transitioning
271. [func] Attempt to probe the number of cpus in named
if unspecified rather than defaulting to 1.
270. [func] Allow maximum sized TCP answers.

or call dns_dispatch_starttcp() when the socket is
263. [func] New logging channel type 'stderr'
262. [bug] 'master' was not initalized in
zone.c:stub_callback().

It also aborted when an unrecognized keyword was seen,
now it silently ignores the entire line.

246. [func] Rename global option cachesize to cache-size and
add corresponding option to view statement.
245. [bug] If an uncompressed name will take more than 255
bytes and the buffer is sufficiently long,
dns_name_fromwire should return DNS_R_FORMERR,
not ISC_R_NOSPACE. This bug caused cause the
server to catch an assertion failure when it
received a query for a name longer than 255
244. [bug] empty
named.conf file and empty options statement are

+ PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT unbraced initializer warnings on
+ IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT unbraced initializer warnings on
BSD/OS 4.*, Linux and Solaris 2.8.
237. [bug] If connect() returned ENOBUFS when the resolver was
initiating a TCP query, the socket didn't get
destroyed, and the server did not shut down cleanly.
236. [func] Added new listen-on-v6 config file statement.
235. [func] Consider it a config file error if a listen-on
statement has an IPv6 address in it, or a
listen-on-v6 statement has an IPv4 address in it.
234. [bug] Allow a trusted-key's first field (domain-name) be
either a quoted or an unquoted string, instead of
requiring a quoted string.
233. [cleanup] Convert all config structure integer values to unsigned
integer (isc_uint32_t) to match grammer.
232. [bug] Allow slave zones to not have a file.
231. [func] Support new 'port' clause in config file options
section. Causes 'listen-on', 'masters' and
'also-notify' statements to use its value instead of
230. [func] Replace the dst
sign/verify API with a cleaner one.
229. [func] Support config file sig-validity-interval statement
in options, views and zone statements (master
228. [cleanup] Logging messages in config module stripped of
227. [cleanup] The enumerated identifiers dns_rdataclass_*,
dns_rcode_*, dns_opcode_*, and dns_trust_* are
also now cast to their appropriate types, as with
dns_rdatatype_* in item number 225 below.
226. [func] dns_name_totext() now always prints the root name as
'.', even when omit_final_dot is true.
225. [cleanup] The enumerated dns_rdatatype_* identifiers are now
cast to dns_rdatatype_t via macros of their same name
so that they are of the proper integral type wherever
a dns_rdatatype_t is needed.
224. [cleanup] The entire project builds cleanly with gcc's
-Wcast-qual and -Wwrite-strings warnings enabled,
which is now the default when using gcc. (Warnings
unfortunately to be expected.)
223. [func] Several functions were reprototyped to qualify one
or more of their arguments with "const". Similarly,
several functions that return pointers now have
those pointers qualified with const.
222. [bug] The global 'also-notify' option was ignored.
221. [bug] An uninitialized variable was sometimes passed to
dns_rdata_freestruct() when loading a zone, causing
220. [cleanup] Set the default outgoing port in the view, and
set it in sockaddrs returned from the ADB.
219. [bug] Signed truncated messages more correctly follow
218. [func] When an rdataset is signed, its ttl is normalized
based on the signature validity period.
217. [func] Also-notify and trusted-keys can now be used in
216. [func] The 'max-cache-ttl' and 'max-ncache-ttl' options
215. [bug] Failures at certain points in request processing

(
e.g., running out of network buffers) were
199. [bug] isc_heap_delete() sometimes violated the heap
invariant, causing timer events not to be posted
198. [func] Dispatch managers hold memory pools which
any managed dispatcher may use. This allows
us to avoid dipping into the memory context for
most allocations. [19-May-2000 explorer]
197. [bug] When an incoming AXFR or IXFR completes, the
zone's internal state is refreshed from the
SOA data. [19-May-2000 explorer]

is not directly supported by the ISC.
190. [cleanup] The DNSSEC tools have been moved to a separate
directory dnssec/ and given the following new,
Their command line arguments have also been changed to
be more consistent. dnssec-keygen now prints the
name of the generated key files (sans extension)
on standard output to simplify its use in automated
189. [func] isc_time_secondsastimet(), a new function, will ensure
that the number of seconds in an isc_time_t does not
exceed the range of a time_t, or return ISC_R_RANGE.
Similarly, isc_time_now(), isc_time_nowplusinterval(),
isc_time_add() and isc_time_subtract() now check the
isc_time_subtract, this changed a calling requirement
(ie, something that could generate an assertion)
into merely a condition that returns an error result.
isc_time_add() and isc_time_subtract() were void-
valued before but now return isc_result_t.
188. [func] Log a warning message when an incoming zone transfer
contains out-of-zone data.

quota so that a new transfer can be dispatched
immediately whenever quota becomes available.
172. [bug] $TTL directive was sometimes missing from dumped
master files because totext_ctx_init() failed to
initialize ctx->current_ttl_valid.
171. [cleanup] On NetBSD systems, the mit-pthreads or
unproven-pthreads library is now always used
unless --with-ptl2 is explicitly specified on
the configure command line. The
--with-mit-pthreads option is no longer needed
170. [cleanup] Remove inter server consistancy checks from zone,
these should return as a seperate module in 9.1.
dns_zone_checkservers(), dns_zone_checkparents(),
dns_zone_checkchildren(), dns_zone_checkglue().
Remove dns_zone_setadb(), dns_zone_setresolver(),
dns_zone_setrequestmgr() these should now be found
169. [func] ratelimiter can now process N events per interval.
168. [bug] include statements in
named.conf caused syntax errors
due to not consuming the semicolon ending the include
statement before switching input streams.
167. [bug] Make lack of masters for a slave zone a soft error.
166. [bug] Keygen was overwriting existing keys if key_id
conflicted, now it will retry, and non-null keys
with key_id == 0 are not generated anymore. Key

increased RSA key size to 2048 bits.
165. [cleanup] Silence "end-of-loop condition not reached" warnings
164. [func] Added functions isc_stdio_open(), isc_stdio_close(),
isc_stdio_seek(), isc_stdio_read(), isc_stdio_write(),

154. [func] The signer now logs libdns warnings to stderr even when
not verbose, and in a nicer format.
153. [func] dns_rdata_tostruct() 'mctx' is now optional. If 'mctx'
is NULL then you need to preserve the 'rdata' until
you have finished using the structure as there may be
references to the associated memory. If 'mctx' is
non-NULL it is guaranteed that there are no references
to memory associated with 'rdata'.
dns_rdata_freestruct() must be called if 'mctx' was
non-NULL and may safely be called if 'mctx' was NULL.
152. [bug] keygen dumped core if domain name argument was omitted
151. [func] Support 'disabled' statement in zone config (causes
zone to be parsed and then ignored). Currently must
come after the 'type' clause.
150. [func] Support optional ports in masters and also-notify
masters [ port xxx ] {
y.y.y.y [ port zzz ] ; }
149. [cleanup] Removed usused argument 'olist' from
dns_c_view_unsetordering().
148. [cleanup] Stop issuing some warnings about some configuration
file statements that were not implemented, but now are.
147. [bug] Changed yacc union size to be smaller for yaccs that
put yacc-stack on the real stack.
146. [cleanup] More general redundant header file cleanup. Rather
than continuing to itemize every header which changed,
this changelog entry just notes that if a header file
did not need another header file that it was including
in order to provide its advertized functionality, the
inclusion of the other header file was removed. See
145. [cleanup] Added <
isc/lang.h> and ISC_LANG_BEGINDECLS/
ISC_LANG_ENDDECLS to header files that had function
prototypes, and removed it from those that did not.
144. [cleanup] libdns header files too numerous to name were made
to conform to the same style for multiple inclusion

'category default' was present in the config file
128. [cleanup] <
isc/dir.h> had ISC_LANG_BEGINDECLS instead of
ISC_LANG_ENDDECLS at end of header.
127. [cleanup] The contracts for the comparision routines
dns_name_fullcompare(), dns_name_compare(),
dns_name_rdatacompare(), and dns_rdata_compare() now
specify that the order value returned is < 0, 0, or > 0
124. [func] signer now imports parent's zone key signature
and creates null
keys/sets zone status bit for
symbol fixed from ISC_SYMBOL_H to ISC_SYMTAB_H.

dns_zone_clearnotify() and dns_zone_addnotify()
are replaced by dns_zone_setnotifyalso().
dns_zone_clearmasters() and dns_zone_addmaster()
are replaced by dns_zone_setmasters().

Buffer types were removed, so the ISC_BUFFERTYPE_*
macros are no more, and the type argument to
isc_buffer_init and isc_buffer_allocate were removed.
isc_buffer_putstr is now void (instead of isc_result_t)
and requires that the caller ensure that there
is enough available buffer space for the string.

added for dns_rbt_findnode, the former to disable the
setting of the chain to the predecessor, and the

not an SOA, the server died with an assertion failure
instead of just reporting an error.
36. [cleanup] Change DNS_R_SUCCESS (and others) to ISC_R_SUCCESS
35. [performance] Log messages which are of a level too high to be
logged by any channel in the logging configuration
will not cause the log mutex to be locked.
