33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User keys up to date automatically. Servers configured in this way
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User will roll seamlessly to the new key when it is published in
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User the root zone. However, keys configured using the
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User and is configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User advised to change your configuration before the root zone begins
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User signing with the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User October 11, 2017.
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User This release includes an updated version of the
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User <code class="filename">bind.keys</code> file containing the new root
33c9436ef1a43d3c0fc3d9be9b4b0509daa83223Tinderbox User key. This file can also be downloaded from

0da02c26a6631c25f075a8e4ac6de9e58f49a0c2Tinderbox User With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
0da02c26a6631c25f075a8e4ac6de9e58f49a0c2Tinderbox User Public License (MPL 2.0).
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User licensed software (e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User your organization, that you publish those changes under that
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User anything other than the changes you made to our software.
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User This new requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing it without
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User changes, therefore this change will be without consequence
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User for most individuals and organizations who are using BIND.
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the
8a48b6b9b6fa8486f24b22d1972b2b6ebb36a4a4Tinderbox User license may contact ISC at <a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/" target="_top">

3b15473cedf41d48904f5b07bdc5e87afff6b58cTinderbox User Due to some incorrectly deleted code, when BIND was
3b15473cedf41d48904f5b07bdc5e87afff6b58cTinderbox User built with LMDB, zones that were deleted via
3b15473cedf41d48904f5b07bdc5e87afff6b58cTinderbox User <span class="command"><strong>rndc delzone</strong></span> were removed from the

3b15473cedf41d48904f5b07bdc5e87afff6b58cTinderbox User database, so that deletion did not persist after a
