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.
- define BIND9 in config.h.win32
- fix problems in mem.h caused by the win32 preprocessor failing to
expand macros used within macros
- silence a win32 compiler warning in hip_55.c
maintenance. The new "managed-keys" statement can
be used in place of "trusted-keys" for zones which
support this protocol. (Note: this syntax is
expected to change prior to 9.7.0 final.) [RT #19248]
- add ddns-confgen command to generate
configuration text for named.conf
- add zone option "ddns-autoconf yes;", which
causes named to generate a TSIG session key
and allow updates to the zone using that key
- add '-l' (localhost) option to nsupdate, which
causes nsupdate to connect to a locally-running
named process using the session key generated
by named

"dnssec-lookaside auto;" This is the equivalent
of "dnssec-lookaside . trust-anchor dlv.isc.org;"
plus setting a trusted-key for dlv.isc.org.
Note: The trusted key is hard-coded into named,
but is also stored in (and can be overridden
by) $sysconfdir/bind.keys. As the ISC DLV key
rolls over it can be kept up to date by replacing
the bind.keys file with a key downloaded from
https://www.isc.org/solutions/dlv. [RT #18685]
'dig +nsid' requests NSID from server.
'request-nsid yes;' causes recursive server to send
NSID requests to upstream servers. Server responds
to NSID requests with the string configured by
'server-id' option. [RT #17091]
multiple connections and ACL.
Note: the stats-server and stats-server-v6 options
available in the previous beta releases are replaced
with the generic statistics-channels statment.
