Highlights vs. BIND 8.2.1:
Interoperability with MS-Win2K has been improved.
Server-side IXFR is now known to work even under high load.
Support for Windows/NT (thanks to BayNetworks).
More fixes, especially to DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, and selective forwarding.
More portability improvements and lint removal (A/UX 3.1.1, SCO 5.0).
Better NOTIFY behaviour, especially with large update volume.
Better UPDATE handling, including SRV RR support and RFC compliance.
Fix for "ndc reload ZONENAME" (specific zone reload) problems.
Fix for round robin when multiple CNAMEs are in use.
New "min-roots" (MINROOTS) and "serial-queries" (MAXQSERIAL) options.
Log files are no longer auto-rotated every time the server starts up.
New "ndc reconfig" command only finds new/deleted zones, no stat()ing.
New global options for "update-source" and "also-notify".
$GENERATE now supports more record types, and options.
