BIND 9.5.0b1 is a beta release for BIND 9.5.0.

	This is a technology preview of new functionality to be be
	released in BIND 9.5.0.  It is feature-complete.  New APIs
 	and new configuration syntax are not yet frozen.
	
	Please as a minimum 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.  bind9-bugs at isc.org.
