4757. [func] New "dnssec-cds" command creates a new parent DS
RRset based on CDS or CDNSKEY RRsets found in
a child zone, and generates either a dsset file
or stream of nsupdate commands to update the
parent. Thanks to Tony Finch. [RT #46090]
4751. [func] "dnssec-signzone -S" can now automatically add parent
synchronization records (CDS and CDNSKEY) according
to key metadata set using the -Psync and -Dsync
options to dnssec-keygen and dnssec-settime.
[RT #46149]
4750. [func] "rndc managed-keys destroy" shuts down RFC 5011 key
maintenance and deletes the managed-keys database.
If followed by "rndc reconfig" or a server restart,
key maintenance is reinitialized from scratch.
This is primarily intended for testing. [RT #32456]
4749. [func] The ISC DLV service has been shut down, and all
DLV records have been removed from dlv.isc.org.
- Removed references to ISC DLV in documentation
- Removed DLV key from bind.keys
- No longer use ISC DLV by default in delv
[RT #46155]
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".
[RT #31459] [RT #46047]
Stage 2 - synthesis of records from wildcard data.
If the dns64 or filter-aaaa* is configured then the
involved lookups are currently excluded. [RT #40138]
4721. [func] 'dnssec-signzone -x' and 'dnssec-dnskey-kskonly'
options now apply to CDNSKEY and DS records as well
as DNSKEY. Thanks to Tony Finch. [RT #45689]
4713. [func] Added support for the DNS Response Policy Service
(DNSRPS) API, which allows named to use an external
response policy daemon when built with
"configure --enable-dnsrps". Thanks to Vernon
Schryver and Farsight Security. [RT #43376]
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]
4594. [func] dnssec-keygen no longer uses RSASHA1 by default;
the signing algorithm must be specified on
the command line with the "-a" option. Signing
scripts that rely on the existing default behavior
will break; use "dnssec-keygen -a RSASHA1" to
repair them. (The goal of this change is to make
it easier to find scripts using RSASHA1 so they
can be changed in the event of that algorithm
being deprecated in the future.) [RT #44755]
4674. [func] "dig +sigchase", and related options "+topdown" and
"+trusted-keys", have been removed. Use "delv" for
queries with DNSSEC validation. [RT #42793]
4669. [func] Iterative query logic in resolver.c has been
refactored into smaller functions and commented,
for improved readability, maintainability and
testability. [RT #45362]
4664. [func] Add a "glue-cache" option to enable or disable the
glue cache. The default is "no" to reduce memory
usage, but enabling this option will improve
performance in delegation-heavy zones. [RT #45125]
4637. [func] "nsec3hash -r" option ("rdata order") takes arguments
in the same order as they appear in NSEC3 or
NSEC3PARAM records, so that NSEC3 parameters can
be cut and pasted from an existing record. Thanks
to Tony Finch for the contribution. [RT #45183]
4613. [func] By default, the maximum size of a zone journal file
is now twice the size of the zone's contents (there
is little benefit to a journal larger than this).
This can be overridden by setting "max-journal-size"
to "unlimited" or to an explicit value up to 2G.
Thanks to Tony Finch. [RT #38324]
4610. [func] The "new-zones-directory" option specifies the
location of NZF or NZD files for storing
configuration of zones added by "rndc addzone".
Thanks to Petr Menšík. [RT #44853]
