BIND 9.4.0b4 is now available.
BIND 9.4.0b4 is a beta release for BIND 9.4.0.
BIND 9.4.0b4 contains security fixes:
2089. [security] Raise the minimum safe OpenSSL versions to
OpenSSL 0.9.7l and OpenSSL 0.9.8d. Versions
prior to these have known security flaws which
are (potentially) exploitable in named. [RT #16391]
2088. [security] Change the default RSA exponent from 3 to 65537.
[RT #16391]
2066. [security] Handle SIG queries gracefully. [RT #16300]
1941. [bug] ncache_adderesult() should set eresult even if no
rdataset is passed to it. [RT #15642]
If you are running a BIND 9.3.x or BIND 9.4.x version without
these changes you are advised to upgrade as soon as possible to
one of BIND 9.3.2-P2, BIND 9.3.3rc3 or BIND 9.4.0b4.
Please as a minimum please perform a test build on your
operating system. We don't have test platforms for every
operating system and sometimes we accidently break builds.
Now is the time to tell us about that.
Now is the time to report any bugs introduced in this release
cycle. Except for *major* bugs, all bugs which pre-date
this release cycle will be deferred until the next release.
The aim is to be better than and definitely no worse than
the last release. Bugs should be reported to bind9-bugs at isc.org.
BIND 9.4 has a number of new features over BIND 9.3, including:
Implemented "additional section caching" (or "acache"), an
internal cache framework for additional section content to
improve response performance. Several configuration options
were provided to control the behavior.
New notify type 'master-only'. Enable notify for master
zones only.
Accept 'notify-source' style syntax for query-source.
rndc now allows addresses to be set in the server clauses.
New option "allow-query-cache". This lets allow-query be
used to specify the default zone access level rather than
having to have every zone override the global value.
allow-query-cache can be set at both the options and view
levels. If allow-query-cache is not set allow-query applies.
rndc: the source address can now be specified.
ixfr-from-differences now takes master and slave in addition
to yes and no at the options and view levels.
Allow the journal's name to be changed via named.conf.
'rndc notify zone [class [view]]' resend the NOTIFY messages
for the specified zone.
'dig +trace' now randomly selects the next servers to try.
Report if there is a bad delegation.
Improve check-names error messages.
Make public the function to read a key file, dst_key_read_public().
dig now returns the byte count for axfr/ixfr.
allow-update is now settable at the options / view level.
named-checkconf now checks the logging configuration.
host now can turn on memory debugging flags with '-m'.
Don't send notify messages to self.
Perform sanity checks on NS records which refer to 'in zone' names.
New zone option "notify-delay". Specify a minimum delay
between sets of NOTIFY messages.
Extend adjusting TTL warning messages.
Named and named-checkzone can now both check for non-terminal
wildcard records.
"rndc freeze/thaw" now freezes/thaws all zones.
named-checkconf now check acls to verify that they only
refer to existing acls.
The server syntax has been extended to support a range of
servers.
Report differences between hints and real NS rrset and
associated address records.
Preserve the case of domain names in rdata during zone
transfers.
Restructured the data locking framework using architecture
dependent atomic operations (when available), improving
response performance on multi-processor machines significantly.
x86, x86_64, alpha, powerpc, and mips are currently supported.
UNIX domain controls are now supported.
Add support for additional zone file formats for improving
loading performance. The masterfile-format option in
named.conf can be used to specify a non-default format. A
separate command named-compilezone was provided to generate
zone files in the new format. Additionally, the -I and -O
options for dnssec-signzone specify the input and output
formats.
dnssec-signzone can now randomize signature end times
(dnssec-signzone -j jitter).
Add support for CH A record.
Add additional zone data consistancy checks. named-checkzone
has extended checking of NS, MX and SRV record and the hosts
they reference. named has extended post zone load checks.
New zone options: check-mx and integrity-check.
edns-udp-size can now be overridden on a per server basis.
dig can now specify the EDNS version when making a query.
Added framework for handling multiple EDNS versions.
Additional memory debugging support to track size and mctx
arguments.
Detect duplicates of UDP queries we are recursing on and
drop them. New stats category "duplicates".
Memory management. "USE INTERNAL MALLOC" is now runtime selectable.
The lame cache is now done on a <qname,qclass,qtype> basis
as some servers only appear to be lame for certain query
types.
Limit the number of recursive clients that can be waiting
for a single query (<qname,qtype,qclass>) to resolve. New
options clients-per-query and max-clients-per-query.
dig: report the number of extra bytes still left in the
packet after processing all the records.
Support for IPSECKEY rdata type.
Raise the UDP receive buffer size to 32k if it is less than 32k.
x86 and x86_64 now have separate atomic locking implementations.
named-checkconf now validates update-policy entries.
Attempt to make the amount of work performed in a iteration
self tuning. The covers nodes clean from the cache per
iteration, nodes written to disk when rewriting a master
file and nodes destroyed per iteration when destroying a
zone or a cache.
ISC string copy API.
Automatic empty zone creation for D.F.IP6.ARPA and friends.
Note: RFC 1918 zones are not yet covered by this but are
likely to be in a future release.
New options: empty-server, empty-contact, empty-zones-enable
and disable-empty-zone.
dig now has a '-q queryname' and '+showsearch' options.
host/nslookup now continue (default)/fail on SERVFAIL.
dig now warns if 'RA' is not set in the answer when 'RD'
was set in the query. host/nslookup skip servers that fail
to set 'RA' when 'RD' is set unless a server is explicitly
set.
Integrate contributed DLZ code into named.
Integrate contributed IDN code from JPNIC.
Validate pending NS RRsets, in the authority section, prior
to returning them if it can be done without requiring DNSKEYs
to be fetched.
It is now possible to configure named to accept expired
RRSIGs. Default "dnssec-accept-expired no;". Setting
"dnssec-accept-expired yes;" leaves named vulnerable to
replay attacks.
Additional memory leakage checks.
The maximum EDNS UDP response named will send can now be
set in named.conf (max-udp-size). This is independent of
the advertised receive buffer (edns-udp-size).
Named now falls back to advertising EDNS with a 512 byte
receive buffer if the initial EDNS queries fail.
Control the zeroing of the negative response TTL to a soa
query. Defaults "zero-no-soa-ttl yes;" and
"zero-no-soa-ttl-cache no;".
Separate out MX and SRV to CNAME checks.
dig/nslookup/host: warn about missing "QR".
TSIG HMACSHA1, HMACSHA224, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384 and
HMACSHA512 support.
dnssec-signzone: output the SOA record as the first record
in the signed zone.
Two new update policies. "selfsub" and "selfwild".
dig, nslookup and host now advertise a 4096 byte EDNS UDP
buffer size by default.
Report when a zone is removed.
DS/DLV SHA256 digest algorithm support.
Implement "rrset-order fixed".
Check the KSK flag when updating a secure dynamic zone.
New zone option "update-check-ksk yes;".
It is now possible to explicitly enable DNSSEC validation.
default dnssec-validation no; to be changed to yes in 9.5.0.
It is now possible to enable/disable DNSSEC validation
from rndc. This is useful for the mobile hosts where the
current connection point breaks DNSSEC (firewall/proxy).
rndc validation newstate [view]
dnssec-signzone can now update the SOA record of the signed
zone, either as an increment or as the system time().
Statistics about acache now recorded and sent to log.
libbind: corresponds to that from BIND 8.4.7.

to the original qname. [RT #15945]
--- 9.4.0a5 released ---
2015. [cleanup] use-additional-cache is now acache-enable for
consistancy. Default acache-enable off in BIND 9.4
as it requires memory usage to be configured.
It may be enabled by default in BIND 9.5 once we
have more experience with it.
2014. [func] Statistics about acache now recorded and sent

validation from rndc. This is useful for the
mobile hosts where the current connection point
breaks DNSSEC (firewall/proxy). [RT #15592]
rndc validation newstate [view]
2007. [func] It is now possible to explicitly enable DNSSEC
validation. default dnssec-validation no; to
be changed to yes in 9.5.0. [RT #15674]
2006. [security] Allow-query-cache and allow-recursion now default
to the builtin acls "localnets" and "localhost".
This is being done to make caching servers less
attractive as reflective amplifying targets for
spoofed traffic. This still leave authoritative
servers exposed.
The best fix is for full BCP 38 deployment to
remove spoofed traffic.
2005. [bug] libbind: Retransmission timeouts should be
based on which attempt it is to the nameserver
and not the nameserver itself. [RT #13548]
2004. [bug] dns_tsig_sign() could pass a NULL pointer to
dst_context_destroy() when cleaning up after a
error. [RT #15835]
2003. [bug] libbind: The DNS name/address lookup functions could
occasionally follow a random pointer due to
structures not being completely zeroed. [RT #15806]
2002. [bug] libbind: tighten the constraints on when
struct addrinfo._ai_pad exists. [RT #15783]
2001. [func] Check the KSK flag when updating a secure dynamic zone.
New zone option "update-check-ksk yes;". [RT #15817]
2000. [bug] memmove()/strtol() fix was incomplete. [RT #15812]
1999. [func] Implement "rrset-order fixed". [RT #13662]
1998. [bug] Restrict handling of fifos as sockets to just SunOS.
This allows named to connect to entropy gathering
daemons that use fifos instead of sockets. [RT #15840]
1997. [bug] Named was failing to replace negative cache entries
when a positive one for the type was learnt.
[RT #15818]
1996. [bug] nsupdate: if a zone has been specified it should
appear in the output of 'show'. [RT #15797]
1995. [bug] 'host' was reporting multiple "is an alias" messages.
[RT #15702]
1994. [port] OpenSSL 0.9.8 support. [RT #15694]
1993. [bug] Log messsage, via syslog, were missing the space
after the timestamp if "print-time yes" was specified.
[RT #15844]
1992. [bug] Not all incoming zone transfer messages included the
view. [RT #15825]
1991. [cleanup] The configuration data, once read, should be treated
as readonly. Expand the use of const to enforce this
at compile time. [RT #15813]
1990. [bug] libbind: isc's override of broken gettimeofday()
implementions was not always effective.
[RT #15709]
1989. [bug] win32: don't check the service password when
re-installing. [RT #15882]
1988. [bug] Remove a bus error from the SHA256/SHA512 support.
[RT #15878]
1987. [func] DS/DLV SHA256 digest algorithm support. [RT #15608]
1986. [func] Report when a zone is removed. [RT #15849]
1985. [protocol] DLV has now been assigned a official type code of
32769. [RT #15807]
Note: care should be taken to ensure you upgrade
both named and dnssec-signzone at the same time for
zones with DLV records where named is the master
server for the zone. Also any zones that contain
DLV records should be removed when upgrading a slave
zone. You do not however have to upgrade all
servers for a zone with DLV records simultaniously.
1984. [func] dig, nslookup and host now advertise a 4096 byte
EDNS UDP buffer size by default. [RT #15855]
1983. [func] Two new update policies. "selfsub" and "selfwild".
[RT #12895]
1982. [bug] DNSKEY was being accepted on the parent side of
a delegation. KEY is still accepted there for
RFC 3007 validated updates. [RT #15620]
