When a Windows service receives a request to stop, it should not set its
state to SERVICE_STOPPED until it is completely shut down as doing that
allows the operating system to kill that service prematurely, which in
the case of named may e.g. prevent the PID file and/or the lock file
from being cleaned up.
Set service state to SERVICE_STOP_PENDING when named begins its shutdown
and only report the SERVICE_STOPPED state immediately before exiting.
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
4235. [func] Added support in named for "dnstap", a fast method of
capturing and logging DNS traffic, and a new command
"dnstap-read" to read a dnstap log file. Use
"configure --enable-dnstap" to enable this
feature (note that this requires libprotobuf-c
and libfstrm). See the ARM for configuration details.
Thanks to Robert Edmonds of Farsight Security.
[RT #40211]
4080. [func] Completed change #4022, adding a "lock-file" option
to named.conf to override the default lock file,
in addition to the "named -X <filename>" command
line option. Setting the lock file to "none"
using either method disables the check completely.

Conflicts:
bin/tests/system/conf.sh.in
lib/dns/win32/libdns.def.in
lib/isc/win32/file.c
The merge also needed to update files in legacy and tcp system tests
(newly introduced in master after branch was created) to introduce use
of lockfile.
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]
