3749. [func] "dig +subnet" sends an EDNS client subnet option
containing the specified address/prefix when
querying. (Thanks to Wilmer van der Gaast.)
[RT #35415]
3746. [func] New "max-zone-ttl" option enforces maximum
TTLs for zones. If loading a zone containing a
higher TTL, the load fails. DDNS updates with
higher TTLs are accepted but the TTL is truncated.
(Note: Currently supported for master zones only;
inline-signing slaves will be added.) [RT #38405]
3745. [func] "configure --with-tuning=large" adjusts various
compiled-in constants and default settings to
values suited to large servers with abundant
memory. [RT #29538]
3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]
3524. [func] Added an alternate statistics channel in JSON format,
when the server is built with the json-c library:
http://[address]:[port]/json. [RT #32630]
update are now fully supported and no longer require
defines to enable. We now no longer overload the
NSEC3PARAM flag field, nor the NSEC OPT bit at the
apex. Secure to insecure changes are controlled by
by the named.conf option 'secure-to-insecure'.
Warning: If you had previously enabled support by
adding defines at compile time to BIND 9.6 you should
ensure that all changes that are in progress have
completed prior to upgrading to BIND 9.7. BIND 9.7
is not backwards compatible.
