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.

The GeoIP2 API from MaxMind is now supported. Geolocation support
|
|
will be compiled in by default if the <command>libmaxminddb</command>
|
|
library is found at compile time, but can be turned off by using
|
|
<command>configure --disable-geoip</command>.

</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The default path to the GeoIP2 databases will be set based
|
|
on the location of the <command>libmaxminddb</command> library;
|
|
for example, if it is in <filename>/usr/local/lib</filename>,
|
|
then the default path will be
|
|
<filename>/usr/local/share/GeoIP</filename>.
|
|
This value can be overridden in <filename>named.conf</filename>
|
|
using the <command>geoip-directory</command> option.

Some <command>geoip</command> ACL settings that were available with
|
|
legacy GeoIP, including searches for <command>netspeed</command>,
|
|
<command>org</command>, and three-letter ISO country codes, will
|
|
no longer work when using GeoIP2. Supported GeoIP2 database
|
|
types are <command>country</command>, <command>city</command>,
|
|
<command>domain</command>, <command>isp</command>, and
|
|
<command>as</command>. All of these databases support both IPv4
|
|
and IPv6 lookups. [GL #182] [GL #1112]

Two new metrics have been added to the
|
|
<command>statistics-channel</command> to report DNSSEC
|
|
signing operations. For each key in each zone, the
|
|
<command>dnssec-sign</command> counter indicates the total
|
|
number of signatures <command>named</command> has generated
|
|
using that key since server startup, and the
|
|
<command>dnssec-refresh</command> counter indicates how
|
|
many of those signatures were refreshed during zone
|
|
maintenance, as opposed to having been generated
|
|
as a result of a zone update. [GL #513]

When <command>qname-minimization</command> was set to
|
|
<command>relaxed</command>, some improperly configured domains
|
|
would fail to resolve, but would have succeeded when minimization
|
|
was disabled. <command>named</command> will now fall back to normal
|
|
resolution in such cases, and also uses type A rather than NS for
|
|
minimal queries in order to reduce the likelihood of encountering
|
|
the problem. [GL #1055]

<command>./configure</command> no longer sets

<command>--sysconfdir</command> to <command>/etc</command> or
|
|
<command>--localstatedir</command> to <command>/var</command>
|
|
when <command>--prefix</command> is not specified and the
|
|
aforementioned options are not specified explicitly. Instead,
|
|
Autoconf's defaults of <command>$prefix/etc</command> and
|
|
<command>$prefix/var</command> are respected.

Glue address records were not being returned in responses

to root priming queries; this has been corrected. [GL #1092]
