+ <para>
+ With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
+ source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
+ Public License (MPL 2.0).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
+ licensed software (e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
+ your organization, that you publish those changes under that
+ same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
+ anything other than the changes you made to our software.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND, with
+ or without modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone
+ redistributing it without changes. Therefore, this change will be
+ without consequence for most individuals and organizations who are
+ using BIND.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their
+ use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the
+ license may contact ISC at <link
+ xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
+ xlink:href="https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/">

+ Code change #4964, intended to prevent double signatures
+ when deleting an inactive zone DNSKEY in some situations,
+ introduced a new problem during zone processing in which
+ some delegation glue RRsets are incorrectly identified
+ as needing RRSIGs, which are then created for them using
+ the current active ZSK for the zone. In some, but not all
+ cases, the newly-signed RRsets are added to the zone's
+ NSEC/NSEC3 chain, but incompletely -- this can result in
+ a broken chain, affecting validation of proof of nonexistence
+ for records in the zone. [GL #771]

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <command>named</command> now supports the "root key sentinel"
+ mechanism. This enables validating resolvers to indicate
+ which trust anchors are configured for the root, so that
+ information about root key rollover status can be gathered.
+ To disable this feature, add
+ <command>root-key-sentinel no;</command> to
+ <filename>named.conf</filename>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Added the ability not to return a DNS COOKIE option when one
+ is present in the request. To prevent a cookie being returned,
+ add <command>answer-cookie no;</command> to
+ <filename>named.conf</filename>. [GL #173]
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>answer-cookie no</command> is only intended as a
+ temporary measure, for use when <command>named</command>
+ shares an IP address with other servers that do not yet
+ support DNS COOKIE. A mismatch between servers on the
+ same address is not expected to cause operational problems,
+ but the option to disable COOKIE responses so that all
+ servers have the same behavior is provided out of an
+ abundance of caution. DNS COOKIE is an important security
+ mechanism, and should not be disabled unless absolutely
+ necessary.
+ </para>

+ <para>
+ Two new update policy rule types have been added
+ <command>krb5-selfsub</command> and <command>ms-selfsub</command>

+ in the respective principals.
