Changes since 9.5.1b1:

	--- 9.5.1b2 released ---

2443.	[bug]		win32: UDP connect() would not generate an event,
			and so connected UDP sockets would never clean up.
			Fix this by doing an immediate WSAConnect() rather
			than an io completion port type for UDP.

2442.	[bug]		A lock could be destroyed twice. [RT# 18626]

2441.   [bug]           isc_radix_insert() could copy radix tree nodes
			incompletely. [RT #18573]

2440.   [bug]		named-checkconf used an incorrect test to determine
			if an ACL was set to none.

2439.   [bug]           Potential NULL dereference in dns_acl_isanyornone().
                        [RT #18559]

2438.	[bug]		Timeouts could be logged incorrectly under win32.
			[RT #18617]

2437.	[bug]		Sockets could be closed too early, leading to
			inconsistent states in the socket module. [RT #18298]

2436.	[security]	win32: UDP client handler can be shutdown. [RT #18576]

2435.	[bug]		Fixed an ACL memory leak affecting win32.

2434.	[bug]		Fixed a minor error-reporting bug in
			lib/isc/win32/socket.c.

2433.	[tuning]	Set initial timeout to 800ms.

2432.	[bug]		More Windows socket handling improvements.  Stop
			using I/O events and use IO Completion Ports
			throughout.  Rewrite the receive path logic to make
			it easier to support multiple simultaneous
			requestrs in the future.  Add stricter consistency
			checking as a compile-time option (define
			ISC_SOCKET_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS; defaults to off).

2431.	[bug]		Acl processing could leak memory. [RT #18323]

2430.	[bug]		win32: isc_interval_set() could round down to
			zero if the input was less than NS_INTERVAL
			nanoseconds.  Round up instead. [RT #18549]

2429.	[doc]		nsupdate should be in section 1 of the man pages.
			[RT #18283]

2428.	[bug]		dns_iptable_merge() mishandled merges of negative
			tables. [RT #18409]

2426.	[bug]		libbind: inet_net_pton() can sometimes return the
			wrong value if excessively large netmasks are
			supplied. [RT #18512]

2425.	[bug]		named didn't detect unavailable query source addresses
			at load time. [RT #18536]

2424.	[port]		configure now probes for a working epoll
			implementation.  Allow the use of kqueue,
			epoll and /dev/poll to be selected at compile
			time. [RT #18277]

2422.	[bug]		Handle the special return value of a empty node as
			if it was a NXRRSET in the validator. [RT #18447]

2421.	[func]		Add new command line option '-S' for named to specify
			the max number of sockets. [RT #18493]
			Use caution: this option may not work for some
			operating systems without rebuilding named.

2420.	[bug]		Windows socket handling cleanup.  Let the io
			completion event send out cancelled read/write
			done events, which keeps us from writing to memeory
			we no longer have ownership of.  Add debugging
			socket_log() function.  Rework TCP socket handling
			to not leak sockets.

2419.	[cleanup]	Document that isc_socket_create() and isc_socket_open()
			should not be used for isc_sockettype_fdwatch sockets.
			[RT #18521]

2418.	[bug]		AXFR request on a DLZ could trigger a REQUIRE failure
			[RT #18430]

2417.	[bug]		Connecting UDP sockets for outgoing queries could
			unexpectedly fail with an 'address already in use'
			error. [RT #18411]

2416.	[func]		Log file descriptors that cause exceeding the
			internal maximum. [RT #18460]

2415.	[bug]		'rndc dumpdb' could trigger various assertion failures
			in rbtdb.c. [RT #18455]

2414.	[bug]		A masterdump context held the database lock too long,
			causing various troubles such as dead lock and
			recursive lock acquisition. [RT #18311, #18456]

2413.	[bug]		Fixed an unreachable code path in socket.c. [RT #18442]

2412.	[bug]		win32: address a resourse leak. [RT #18374]

2411.	[bug]		Allow using a larger number of sockets than FD_SETSIZE
			for select().  To enable this, set ISC_SOCKET_MAXSOCKETS
			at compilation time.  [RT #18433]

2410.	[bug]		Correctly delete m_versionInfo. [RT #18432]

2409.	[bug]		Only log that we disabled EDNS processing if we were
			subsequently successful.  [RT #18029]

2408.	[bug]		A duplicate TCP dispatch event could be sent, which
			could then trigger an assertion failure in
			resquery_response().  [RT #18275]

2407.	[port]		hpux: test for sys/dyntune.h. [RT #18421]

xxxx.	[bug]		Connecting UDP sockets for outgoing queries could
			unexpectedly fail with an 'address already in use'
			error.

2405.   [cleanup]       The default value for dnssec-validation was changed to
                        "yes" in 9.5.0-P1 and all subsequent releases; this
                        was inadvertently omitted from CHANGES at the time.

2404.	[port]		hpux: files unlimited support.

2403.	[bug]		TSIG context leak. [RT #18341]

2402.	[port]		Support Solaris 2.11 and over. [RT #18362]

2401.	[bug]		Expect to get E[MN]FILE errno internal_accept()
			(from accept() or fcntl() system calls). [RT #18358]

2400.	[bug]		Log if kqueue()/epoll_create()/open(/dev/poll) fails.
			[RT #18297]

2398.	[bug]           Improve file descriptor management.  New,
			temporary, named.conf option reserved-sockets,
			default 512. [RT #18344]

2397.	[bug]		gssapi_functions bad declaration. [RT #18355]

2396.	[bug]		Don't set SO_REUSEADDR for randomized ports.
			[RT #18336]

2395.	[port]		Avoid warning and no effect from "files unlimited"
			on Linux when running as root. [RT #18335]

2394.	[bug]		Default configuration options set the limit for
			open files to 'unlimited' as described in the
			documentation. [RT #18331]

2393.	[bug]		nested acls containing keys could trigger an
			assertion in acl.c. [RT #18166]

2392.	[bug]		remove 'grep -q' from acl test script, some platforms
			don't support it. [RT #18253]

2391.	[port]		hpux: cover additional recvmsg() error codes.
			[RT #18301]

2390.	[bug]		dispatch.c could make a false warning on 'odd socket'.
			[RT #18301].

2389.	[bug]		Move the "working directory writable" check to after
			the ns_os_changeuser() call. [RT #18326]

2388.	[bug]		Avoid using tables for layout purposes in
			statistics XSL [RT #18159].

2386.	[func]		Add warning about too small 'open files' limit.
			[RT #18269]
