Our vcxproj files set the WarningLevel to Level3, which is too verbose
for a code that needs to be portable. That basically leads to ignoring
all the errors that MSVC produces. This commits downgrades the
WarningLevel to Level1 and enables treating warnings as errors for
Release builds. For the Debug builds the WarningLevel got upgraded to
Level4, and treating warnings as errors is explicitly disabled.
We should eventually make the code clean of all MSVC warnings, but it's
a long way to go for Level4, so it's more reasonable to start at Level1.
For reference[1], these are the warning levels as described by MSVC
documentation:
* /W0 suppresses all warnings. It's equivalent to /w.
* /W1 displays level 1 (severe) warnings. /W1 is the default setting
in the command-line compiler.
* /W2 displays level 1 and level 2 (significant) warnings.
* /W3 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 (production quality)
warnings. /W3 is the default setting in the IDE.
* /W4 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 warnings, and all level 4
(informational) warnings that aren't off by default. We recommend
that you use this option to provide lint-like warnings. For a new
project, it may be best to use /W4 in all compilations. This option
helps ensure the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.
* /Wall displays all warnings displayed by /W4 and all other warnings
that /W4 doesn't include — for example, warnings that are off by
default.
* /WX treats all compiler warnings as errors. For a new project, it
may be best to use /WX in all compilations; resolving all warnings
ensures the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.

(cherry picked from commit 789d253e3d)
Michal caught at the last moment that a CHANGES entry did
not have a GitLab issue/mr reference. This check was omitted from
the release process documentation. The wiki is updated and the
CHANGES file is updated in this commit.
BSD sed does not recognize \s as a whitespace matching token. Make the
sed script in doc/arm/Makefile.in which ensures GitLab identifiers are
not split across lines portable by replacing \s with [[:space:]].
(cherry picked from commit b25e6b51f6)
Update the API files.
- lib/dns:
- struct resolver has added elements, this is an interface change
and thus LIBINTERFACE is incremented, and LIBREVISION is reset.
- Since this also means an interface change since the last public
release, also reset LIBAGE.
- lib/isc:
- The library source code changed, so increment LIBREVISION.
- lib/isccfg:
- The library source code changed, so increment LIBREVISION.
Update other files:
- No changes needed to the README, this is a small bugfix release.
- Fix a bad version xml:id in the release notes.
GitLab issue and merge request numbers placed in release notes (in the
form of "#1234" for issues and "!5678" for merge requests) should not be
split across two lines. Extend the shell pipeline generating
doc/arm/notes.txt with a sed invocation which prevents such splitting.
(cherry picked from commit 2d00143ab1)
Intertwining release notes from different BIND releases in a single XML
file has caused confusion in the past due to different (and often
arbitrary) approaches to keeping/removing release notes from older
releases on different BIND branches. Divide doc/arm/notes.xml into
per-version sections to simplify determining the set of changes
introduced by a given release and to make adding/reviewing release notes
less error-prone.
