For users it's not really important if a RFC is Internet Standard,
Proposed Standard, or Experimental. RFCs are now regrouped by
"Protocol", Best Current Practice, and "catch all" category FYI.
(cherry picked from commit 7fd61f9403)
In 2022, IPv6 is not anything unusual, and it was really odd
to have it in a separate section next to a huge list of RFCs.
Fixes: #1918
(cherry picked from commit 2774b497a6)
There is little point of listing all of the obsolete RFCs. I think it is
more likely confuse people than to do anything useful.

Replace the hard-coded paths for various BIND 9 files (configuration,
pid, etc.) in the man pages and ARM with compile-time values using the
sphinx-build replace system.
This is more complicated, because the restructured text specification
doesn't allow |substitions| inside ``code-blocks``, so for each specific
file we had to create own substition which is sub-optimal, but it is
only way how to do this without adding Sphinx extension.
(cherry picked from commit b42681c4e9)
The "directory" configuration options affects the configuration listed
after the directive but not before which may affect ``include``
directive with relative file paths.

Formerly parental-agents grammar was an exception and it did not
auto-generate itself from source code. From now on it is generated using
the same mechanism as other grammars.
For consistency with rest of the system, I've also renamed the grammar
file and the link anchors from "parentals" to "parental-agents".
Technically this is fixup for commit
0311705d4b.

The missing `::` in the .rst files caused grammar section in docs to
render empty.
The `::` was accidentally removed in an unrelated commit
58bd26b6cf which was supposed to update
only copyright headers.

In the RPZ documentation, there's a mistake where it states that the
default behavior will be disabled by setting `qname-wait-recurse yes;`
while in fact it's opposite `qname-wait-recurse no;`.
This affects only the RST documentation.

The keyfromlabel system ECDSA tests sometimes fail. When this happens
the ZSK and KSK key id values differ by 1, which is an indication that
the same key is used for both DNSKEY records.
When the private key is retrieved with 'ENGINE_load_private_key()', the
public key is already set. But sometimes that key differs from the key
which was retrieved with 'ENGINE_load_public_key()'.
The libp11 source code uses id to find the key and without IDs all the
keys are "equal", so it is returning the first key in the array of the
enumerated keys instead of the matching key. In our test we didn't use
'--id', just '--label'. With this change, the system test should no
longer fail intermittently.
Note this is only an issue for ECDSA keys, not RSA keys.

We started with compilation of _all_ 9.17.z notes into one file:
$ ls *.17*.rst | sort -V | xargs cat > notes-9.18.0.rst
Then removed removed duplicate extra copyright headers:
$ grep -v '^\.\. [^_]' notes-9.18.0.rst > notes-9.18.0.rst.copy
$ grep -v '^\.\.$' notes-9.18.0.rst.copy > notes-9.18.0.rst
$ vim notes-9.17.0.rst notes-9.18.0.rst
Next step was to find notes referencing the changes which were
backported to 9.16.25 and remove these. Duplicites were checked
by diffing corresponding texts in 9.16 and 9.17, and it revealed that
some backports were either partial, or code was backported but the
release note was lost in 9.16 branch. In that case we did not
re-introduce the relnote and considered it also duplicate.
Most notable cases of "missing in 9.16 relnote but in fact fixed"
were notes for CVE-2020-8616 and CVE-2020-8617.
These were accidentally omitted from 9.16 release docs, and we are going
to fix it in separate MR !5722.
Further removals include:
- Security issue #2787: The bug was introduced & fixed in 9.17.z,
so there is no need to tell about it to people upgrading to 9.18.0.
- Bugfix !3135: Backported but with unclear reference in relnotes.
- Bugfix !3137: Backported but with unclear reference in relnotes.
- Bugfix #2460: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2504: The bug was introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2562: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2917: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z
- Bugfix #3040: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #3062: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Change #4: Introduced & "finished" in 9.17.z.
- Change #1610: Introduced & reverted in 9.17.z.
- Change #1958: No user visible impact.
- Change #2016: No user visible impact.
- Change #2022: No user visible impact.
- Change #2264: Affects a feature introduced only to 9.17 branch.
- Change #2401: No user visible impact.
- Known issue about libuv: Got fixed later in the cycle.
- Known issue about port clash: It is now config error.
Then tweaking started to clarify meaning of various notes to people
upgrading from 9.16.
While doing so, bugfix #2927 was omited because the change just makes
9.18 SERVFAIL faster than 9.16, so even though it is technically bugfix
it is so minor that it is not worth bragging about in release notes.
TLS/DoT/DoH features were summarized from many independent
notes into one giant note per feature.
All notes were rearranged according to their "perceived priority".
There were three RFCs listed in list of "RFCs we implement" but missing
in the ARM.
Command to compare lists in the two documents:
diff <(grep -o '^ RFC[0-9]\+' doc/misc/rfc-compliance | sed -e 's/[^0-9]//g' | sort -n) <(grep '^:rfc:`' doc/arm/general.rst | sed -e 's/^.*`\([0-9]*\)`.*$/\1/' | sort -n)
Supported Platforms section is now really only about platforms and not
libraries. Libraries were moved to the Building BIND section.
We now have section for required libraries, and second with optional
features. Wordy explanations were taken verbatim from the original
README.md.
Converted using pandoc 2.14.2-9 on Arch Linux:
$ pandoc --shift-heading-level-by=-1 -f markdown -t rst README.md > doc/arm/build.rst
Plus hand-edit to remove sections other than Building BIND 9, remove
misindentation in section headers, and add a standard copyright header.
As far as I can tell, it is some leftover from the times when Sphinx
docs were introduced (commit 9fb6d11abb).
It seems like it is not referenced from anywhere.
The terms "DNS over HTTPS" and "DNS over TLS" should be hyphenated when
they are used as adjectives and non-hyphenated otherwise. Ensure all
occurrences of these terms in the source tree follow the above rule.
(CHANGES and release notes are intentionally left intact.)
Tweak a related ARM snippet, fixing a typo in the process.
