-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Some highlights vs. BIND 8.2.2:

	Portability to IPv6 versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.
	Portability improvements (A/UX, AIX, IRIX, NetBSD, SCO, MPE/IX).
	"also-notify" option could cause memory allocation errors.
	IXFR improvements (though client-side is still disabled).
	Contributed software upgraded (including TIS's "dns_signer").
	Several latent denial-of-service bugs fixed (from audits, not abuse).
	New "make noesw" top-level target for removing encumbered components.
