0N/A ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
0N/A the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
0N/A trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
0N/A key is configured using the <
span class="command"><
strong>managed-keys</
strong></
span>
0N/A statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
0N/A <
span class="command"><
strong>dnssec-validation auto</
strong></
span>, then BIND can keep keys up
0N/A to date automatically. Servers configured in this way should have
0N/A begun the process of rolling to the new key when it was published in
0N/A the root zone in July 2017. However, keys configured using the
0N/A <
span class="command"><
strong>trusted-keys</
strong></
span> statement are not automatically
0N/A maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation and is
0N/A configured using <
span class="command"><
strong>trusted-keys</
strong></
span>, you are advised to
0N/A change your configuration before the root zone begins signing with
0N/A the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for October 11, 2017.
0N/A This release includes an updated version of the
0N/A <
code class="filename">
bind.keys</
code> file containing the new root
0N/A key. This file can also be downloaded from

0N/A With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
0N/A source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
0N/A Public License (MPL 2.0).
0N/A The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
0N/A licensed software (
e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
0N/A your organization, that you publish those changes under that
0N/A same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
0N/A anything other than the changes you made to our software.
0N/A This new requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND
0N/A without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing it without
0N/A changes, therefore this change will be without consequence
0N/A for most individuals and organizations who are using BIND.
0N/A Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their
0N/A use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the

0N/A Fixed a bug that was introduced in an earlier development
0N/A release which caused multi-packet AXFR and IXFR messages to fail
validation if not all packets contained TSIG records; this
caused interoperability problems with some other DNS
implementations. [RT #45509]
Reloading or reconfiguring <
span class="command"><
strong>named</
strong></
span> could
fail on some platforms when LMDB was in use. [RT #45203]
Due to some incorrectly deleted code, when BIND was
built with LMDB, zones that were deleted via
<
span class="command"><
strong>rndc delzone</
strong></
span> were removed from the
running server but were not removed from the new zone
database, so that deletion did not persist after a
server restart. This has been corrected. [RT #45185]
Semicolons are no longer escaped when printing CAA and
URI records. This may break applications that depend on the
presence of the backslash before the semicolon. [RT #45216]
AD could be set on truncated answer with no records present
in the answer and authority sections. [RT #45140]
