4602. [func] Threads are now set to human-readable
names to assist debugging, when supported by
the OS. [RT #43234]
(cherry picked from commit d26ae7fc08)
4411. [func] "rndc dnstap -roll" automatically rolls the
dnstap output file; the previous version is
saved with ".0" suffix, and earlier versions
with ".1" and so on. An optional numeric argument
indicates how many prior files to save. [RT #42830]
provisioning secondary servers in which a list of
zones to be served is stored in a DNS zone and can
be propagated to slaves via AXFR/IXFR. [RT #41581]
4375. [func] Add support for automatic reallocation of isc_buffer
to isc_buffer_put* functions. [RT #42394]
4290. [func] The timers returned by the statistics channel
(indicating current time, server boot time, and
most recent reconfiguration time) are now reported
with millisecond accuracy. [RT #40082]
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]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
4005. [func] The buffer used for returning text from rndc
commands is now dynamically resizable, allowing
arbitrarily large amounts of text to be sent back
to the client. (Prior to this change, it was
possible for the output of "rndc tsig-list" to be
truncated.) [RT #37731]
3999. [func] "mkeys" and "nzf" files are now named after
their corresponding views, unless the view name
contains characters that would be incompatible
with use in a filename (i.e., slash, backslash,
or capital letters). If a view name does contain
these characters, the files will still be named
using a cryptographic hash of the view name.
Regardless of this, if a file using the old name
format is found to exist, it will continue to be
used. [RT #37704]
startup-notify-rate instead of serial-query-rate.
[RT #24454]
3955. [bug] Notify messages due to changes are no longer queued
behind startup notify messages. [RT #24454]
3786. [func] Provide more detailed error codes when using
native PKCS#11. "pkcs11-tokens" now fails robustly
rather than asserting when run against an HSM with
an incomplete PCKS#11 API implementation. [RT #35479]
3760. [bug] Improve SIT with native PKCS#11 and on Windows.
[RT #35433]
3759. [port] Enable delve on Windows. [RT #35441]
3758. [port] Enable export library APIs on windows. [RT #35382]
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]
