4421. [func] When built with LMDB (Lightning Memory-mapped
Database), named will now use a database to store
the configuration for zones added by "rndc addzone"
instead of using a flat NZF file. This improves
performance of "rndc delzone" and "rndc modzone"
significantly. Existing NZF files will
automatically by converted to NZD databases.
To view the contents of an NZD or to roll back to
NZF format, use "named-nzd2nzf". To disable
this feature, use "configure --without-lmdb".

4307. [bug] "dig +subnet" and "mdig +subnet" could send
incorrectly-formatted Client Subnet options
if the prefix length was not divisble by 8.
Also fixed a memory leak in "mdig". [RT #45178]
4303. [bug] "dig +subnet" was unable to send a prefix length of
zero, as it was incorrectly changed to 32 for v4
prefixes or 128 for v6 prefixes. In addition to
fixing this, "dig +subnet=0" has been added as a
short form for 0.0.0.0/0. The same changes have
also been made in "mdig". [RT #41553]
This is to be consistent with other manuals:
- no period punctuation at end
- no capitalization at beginning unless acronym or proper noun
- and no simple article (like "A") to start sentence.
While the docbook specification says refpurpose is a "one sentence",
its examples show it with the rules shown above.
Also compared with many manpages as this is common format for the
.Nd macro's one line description.
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.
