-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This is the first beta toward the upcoming 1.1.0 release of BIND
10.  BIND 10 provides a C++ library for DNS (with python wrappers)
and several cooperating daemons for providing authoritative DNS
service (with in-memory and SQLite3 backends and DNSSEC support),
dynamic DNS, zone transfers, forwarding, and experimental recursive
name service.  It also provides DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers and a
C++ library for DHCP.  Supplementary components are included for
statistics collection and reporting and remote configuration and
control.

The significant changes since the previous release include:

598.	[func]*		jinmei
	The separate "static" data source is now deprecated as it can be
	served in the more generic "MasterFiles" type of data source.
	This means existing configuration may not work after an update.
	If "config show data_sources/classes/CH[0]" on bindctl contains a
	"static" type of data source, you'll need to update it as follows:
	> config set data_sources/classes/CH[0]/type MasterFiles
	> config set data_sources/classes/CH[0]/params {"BIND": =>
	  "<the value of current data_sources/classes/CH[0]/params>"}
	> config set data_sources/classes/CH[0]/cache-enable true
	> config commit
	(Same for CH[1], CH[2], IN[0], etc, if applicable, although it
	should be very unlikely in practice.  Also note: '=>' above
	indicates the next line is actually part of the command.  Do
	not type in this "arrow").
	(Part of Trac #2833, git 0363b4187fe3c1a148ad424af39e12846610d2d7)

597.	[func]		tmark
	b10-dhcp6: Added unit tests for handling requests when no
	IPv6 subnets are configured/defined. Testing these conditions
	was overlooked during implementation of Trac #2719.
	(Trac #2721, git ce7f53b2de60e2411483b4aa31c714763a36da64)

596.	[bug]		jinmei
	Added special handling for the case where b10-auth receives a
	NOTIFY message, but zonemgr isn't running. Previously this was
	logged as a communications problem at the ERROR level, resulting
	in increasing noise when zonemgr is intentionally stopped. Other
	than the log level there is no change in externally visible
	behavior.
	(Trac #2562, git 119eed9938b17cbad3a74c823aa9eddb7cd337c2)

595.	[bug]		tomek
	All DHCP components now gracefully refuse to handle too short
	DUIDs and client-id.
	(Trac #2723, git a043d8ecda6aff57922fe98a33c7c3f6155d5d64)

594.	[func]		muks, pselkirk
	libdns++: the NSEC, DS, DLV, and AFSDB Rdata classes now use the
	generic lexer in constructors from text.  This means that the name
	fields in such RRs in a zone file can now be non-absolute (the
	origin name in that context will be used), e.g., when loaded by
	b10-loadzone.
	(Trac #2386, git dc0f34afb1eccc574421a802557198e6cd2363fa)
	(Trac #2391, git 1450d8d486cba3bee8be46e8001d66898edd370c)

593.	[func]		jelte
	Address + port output and logs is now consistent according to our
	coding guidelines, e.g. <address>:<port> in the case of IPv4, and
	[<address>]:<port> in the case of IPv6, instead of <address>#<port>
	(Trac #1086, git bcefe1e95cdd61ee4a09b20522c3c56b315a1acc)

592.	[bug]		jinmei
	b10-auth and zonemgr now handle some uncommon NOTIFY messages more
	gracefully: auth immediately returns a NOTAUTH response if the
	server does not have authority for the zone (the behavior
	compatible with BIND 9) without bothering zonemgr; zonemgr now
	simply skips retransfer if the specified zone is not in its
	secondary zone list, instead of producing noisy error logs.
	(Trac #1938, git 89d7de8e2f809aef2184b450e7dee1bfec98ad14)

591.	[func]		vorner
	Ported the remaining tests from the old shell/perl based system to
	lettuce. Make target `systest' is now gone. Currently, the lettuce
	tests are in git only, not part of the release tarball.
	(Trac #2624, git df1c5d5232a2ab551cd98b77ae388ad568a683ad)

590.	[bug]		tmark
	Modified "include" statements in DHCP MySQL lease manager code to
	fix build problems if MySQL is installed in a non-standard location.
	(Trac #2825, git 4813e06cf4e0a9d9f453890557b639715e081eca)

589.	[bug]		jelte
	b10-cmdctl now automatically re-reads the user accounts file when
	it is updated.
	(Trac #2710, git 16e8be506f32de668699e6954f5de60ca9d14ddf)

588.	[bug]*		jreed
	b10-xfrout: Log message id XFROUT_QUERY_QUOTA_EXCCEEDED
	changed to XFROUT_QUERY_QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
	(git be41be890f1349ae4c870a887f7acd99ba1eaac5)

587.	[bug]		jelte
	When used from python, the dynamic datasource factory now
	explicitely loads the logging messages dictionary, so that correct
	logging messages does not depend on incidental earlier import
	statements. Also, the sqlite3-specific log messages have been moved
	from the general datasource library to the sqlite3 datasource
	(which also explicitely loads its messages).
	(Trac #2746, git 1c004d95a8b715500af448683e4a07e9b66ea926)

586.	[func]		marcin
	libdhcp++: Removed unnecesary calls to the function which
	validates option definitions used to create instances of options
	being decoded in the received packets. Eliminating these calls
	lowered the CPU utilization by the server by approximately 10%.
	Also, added the composite search indexes on the container used to
	store DHCP leases by Memfile backend. This resulted in the
	significant performance rise when using this backend to store
	leases.
	(Trac #2701, git b96a30b26a045cfaa8ad579b0a8bf84f5ed4e73f)

585.	[func]		jinmei, muks
	The zone data loader now accepts RRs in any order during load.
	Before it used to reject adding non-consecutive RRsets. It
	expected records for a single owner name and its type to be
	grouped together. These restrictions are now removed.  It now also
	suppresses any duplicate RRs in the zone file when loading them
	into memory.
	(Trac #2440, git 232307060189c47285121f696d4efb206f632432)
	(Trac #2441, git 0860ae366d73314446d4886a093f4e86e94863d4)

584.	[bug]		jinmei
	Fixed build failure with Boost 1.53 (and probably higher) in the
	internal utility library.  Note that with -Werror it may still
	fail, but it's due to a Boost bug that is reportedly fixed in their
	development trunk.  See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8080
	Until the fix is available in a released Boost version you may need
	to specify the --without-werror configure option to build BIND 10.
	(Trac #2764, git ca1da8aa5de24358d7d4e7e9a4625347457118cf)

583.	[func]*		jelte
	b10-cmdctl-usermgr has been updated and its options and arguments
	have changed; it now defaults to the same accounts file as
	b10-cmdctl defaults to. It can now be used to remove users from the
	accounts file as well, and it now accepts command-line arguments to
	specify the username and password to add or remove, in which case
	it will not prompt for them.
	Note that using a password on the command line is not recommended,
	as this can be viewed by other users.
	(Trac #2713, git 9925af3b3f4daa47ba8c2eb66f556b01ed6f0502)

582.	[func]		naokikambe
	New statistics items related unixdomain sockets added into Xfrout :
	open, openfail, close, bindfail, acceptfail, accept, senderr, and
	recverr.  Their values can be obtained by invoking "Stats show Xfrout"
	via bindctl while Xfrout is running.
	(Trac #2225, git 6df60554683165adacc2d1c3d29aa42a0c9141a1)

581.	[func]*		y-aharen
	Added statistics items in b10-auth based on
	http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/StatisticsItems. Qtype counters are
	dropped as it requires further spec design discussion.
	(Trac #2154, Trac #2155,
	             git 61d7c3959eb991b22bc1c0ef8f4ecb96b65d9325)
	(Trac #2157, git e653adac032f871cbd66cd500c37407a56d14589)
