Notes for BIND 9.18.10
----------------------
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To reduce unnecessary memory consumption in the cache, NXDOMAIN
records are no longer retained past the normal negative cache TTL,
even if :any:`stale-cache-enable` is set to ``yes``. :gl:`#3386`
- The :any:`auto-dnssec` option has been deprecated and will be removed
in a future BIND 9.19.x release. Please migrate to
:any:`dnssec-policy`. :gl:`#3667`
- The :any:`coresize`, :any:`datasize`, :any:`files`, and
:any:`stacksize` options have been deprecated. The limits these
options set should be enforced externally, either by manual
configuration (e.g. using ``ulimit``) or via the process supervisor
(e.g. ``systemd``). :gl:`#3676`
- Setting alternate local addresses for inbound zone transfers has been
deprecated. The relevant options (:any:`alt-transfer-source`,
:any:`alt-transfer-source-v6`, and :any:`use-alt-transfer-source`)
will be removed in a future BIND 9.19.x release. :gl:`#3694`
- The number of HTTP headers allowed in requests sent to
:iscman:`named`'s statistics channel has been increased from 10 to
100, to accommodate some browsers that send more than 10 headers
by default. :gl:`#3670`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- :iscman:`named` could crash due to an assertion failure when an HTTP
connection to the statistics channel was closed prematurely (due to a
connection error, shutdown, etc.). This has been fixed. :gl:`#3693`
- When a catalog zone was removed from the configuration, in some cases
a dangling pointer could cause the :iscman:`named` process to crash.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#3683`
- When a zone was deleted from a server, a key management object related
to that zone was inadvertently kept in memory and only released upon
shutdown. This could lead to constantly increasing memory use on
servers with a high rate of changes affecting the set of zones being
served. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3727`
- TLS configuration for primary servers was not applied for zones that
were members of a catalog zone. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3638`
- In certain cases, :iscman:`named` waited for the resolution of
outstanding recursive queries to finish before shutting down. This was
unintended and has been fixed. :gl:`#3183`
- :iscman:`host` and :iscman:`nslookup` command-line options setting the
custom TCP/UDP port to use were ignored for ANY queries (which are
sent over TCP). This has been fixed. :gl:`#3721`
- The ``zone <name>/<class>: final reference detached`` log message was
moved from the INFO log level to the DEBUG(1) log level to prevent the
:iscman:`named-checkzone` tool from superfluously logging this message
in non-debug mode. :gl:`#3707`
Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above
<relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known issues affecting this
BIND 9 branch.
