these keywords were added to the parser as synonyms for "master"
and "slave" but were never hooked in to the configuration of named,
so they were ignored. this has been fixed and the option is now
checked for correctness.
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
The release notes were previously built as a separate document
(including the PDF version). It was agreed that this doesn't make much
sense, so the release notes are now included only as an appendix to the
BIND 9 ARM.
This includes reorganization of the lists of RFCs supported by BIND 9.
I included all the RFCs and notes from the list identified by Vicky in
any DNS-related RFCs written by current ISC engineers, on the assumption
that BIND would comply with them.
Originally, the default value for max-stale-ttl was 1 week, which could
and in some scenarios lead to cache exhaustion on a busy resolvers.
Picking the default value will always be juggling between value that's
useful (e.g. keeping the already cached records after they have already
expired and the upstream name servers are down) and not bloating the
cache too much (e.g. keeping everything for a very long time). The new
default reflects what we think is a reasonable to time to react on both
sides (upstream authoritative and downstream recursive).
If "edns-udp-size" is set in a "server" block matching the queried
server, it is accounted for in the process of determining the advertised
UDP buffer size, but its value may still be overridden before the query
is sent. This behavior contradicts the ARM which claims that when set,
the server-specific "edns-udp-size" value is used for all EDNS queries
sent to a given server.
Furthermore, calling dns_peer_getudpsize() with the "udpsize" variable
as an argument makes the code hard to follow as that call may either
update the value of "udpsize" or leave it untouched.
Ensure the code matches the documentation by moving the
dns_peer_getudpsize() call below all other blocks of code potentially
affecting the advertised UDP buffer size, which is where it was located
when server-specific "edns-udp-size" support was first implemented [1].
Improve code readability by calling dns_peer_getudpsize() with a helper
variable instead of "udpsize".

The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
