        Development release of BIND 10: bind10-devel-20120301

The 17th development release of the BIND 10 suite is now available.
Its notable additions include:

- - Ability to start multiple authoritative server or resolver
  instances (resulting in significant query performance improvements
  on multi-core machines).

- - b10-auth now supports signed zones (with NSEC and NSEC3) in the
  in-memory data source.

- - Statistics counters added for b10-auth: per-opcode requests and
  RCODE responses.

- - b10-xfrout now uses the global TSIG keyring for ACLs.

BIND 10 provides a DNS library in C++ with Python wrappers, an
authoritative DNSSEC-capable DNS server (with SQLite3 and in-memory
backends), and a recursive DNS server (with caching and forwarding).
It also includes other cooperating components for zone transfer
management, configuration management, remote control, statistics
collection, and more.  BIND 10 also includes libdhcp++ and
proof-of-concept DHCP server code.  We are using the prototype BIND
10 authoritative and recursive DNS servers in production.

p.s. A summary of the significant changes since the previous release
include (from the ChangeLog):

390.    [bug]           vorner
        The UDP IPv6 packets are now correctly fragmented for maximum
        guaranteed MTU, so they won't get lost because being too large
        for some hop.
        (Trac #1534, git ff013364643f9bfa736b2d23fec39ac35872d6ad)

389.    [func]*         vorner
        Xfrout now uses the global TSIG keyring, instead of its own. This
        means the keys need to be set only once (in tsig_keys/keys).
        However, the old configuration of Xfrout/tsig_keys need to be
        removed for Xfrout to work.
        (Trac #1643, git 5a7953933a49a0ddd4ee1feaddc908cd2285522d)

388.    [func]          jreed
        Use prefix "sockcreator-" for the private temporary directory
        used for b10-sockcreator communication.
        (git b98523c1260637cb33436964dc18e9763622a242)

387.    [build]         muks
        Accept a --without-werror configure switch so that some builders can
        disable the use of -Werror in CFLAGS when building.
        (Trac #1671, git 8684a411d7718a71ad9fb616f56b26436c4f03e5)

386.    [bug]           jelte
        Upon initial sqlite3 database creation, the 'diffs' table is now
        always created. This already happened most of the time, but there
        are a few cases where it was skipped, resulting in potential errors
        in xfrout later.
        (Trac #1717, git 30d7686cb6e2fa64866c983e0cfb7b8fabedc7a2)

385.    [bug]           jinmei
        libdns++: masterLoad() didn't accept comments placed at the end of
        an RR.  Due to this the in-memory data source cannot load a master
        file for a signed zone even if it's preprocessed with BIND 9's
        named-compilezone.
        Note: this fix is considered temporary and still only accepts some
        limited form of such comments.  The main purpose is to allow the
        in-memory data source to load any signed or unsigned zone files as
        long as they are at least normalized with named-compilezone.
        (Trac #1667, git 6f771b28eea25c693fe93a0e2379af924464a562)

384.    [func]          jinmei, jelte, vorner, haikuo, kevin
        b10-auth now supports NSEC3-signed zones in the in-memory data
        source.
        (Trac #1580, #1581, #1582, #1583, #1584, #1585, #1587, and
        other related changes to the in-memory data source)

383.    [build]         jinmei
        Fixed build failure on MacOS 10.7 (Lion) due to the use of
        IPV6_PKTINFO; the OS requires a special definition to make it
        visible to the compiler.
        (Trac #1633, git 19ba70c7cc3da462c70e8c4f74b321b8daad0100)

382.    [func]          jelte
        b10-auth now also experimentally supports statistics counters of
        the rcode responses it sends. The counters can be shown as
        rcode.<code name>, where code name is the lowercase textual
        representation of the rcode (e.g. "noerror", "formerr", etc.).
        Same note applies as for opcodes, see changelog entry 364.
        (Trac #1613, git e98da500d7b02e11347431a74f2efce5a7d622aa)

381.    [bug]           jinmei
        b10-auth: honor the DNSSEC DO bit in the new query handler.
        (Trac #1695, git 61f4da5053c6a79fbc162fb16f195cdf8f94df64)

380.    [bug]           jinmei
        libdns++: miscellaneous bug fixes for the NSECPARAM RDATA
        implementation, including incorrect handling for empty salt and
        incorrect comparison logic.
        (Trac #1638, git 966c129cc3c538841421f1e554167d33ef9bdf25)

379.    [bug]           jelte
        Configuration commands in bindctl now check for list indices if
        the 'identifier' argument points to a child element of a list
        item. Previously, it was possible to 'get' non-existent values
        by leaving out the index, e.g. "config show Auth/listen_on/port,
        which should be config show Auth/listen_on[<index>]/port, since
        Auth/listen_on is a list. The command without an index will now
        show an error. It is still possible to show/set the entire list
        ("config show Auth/listen_on").
        (Trac #1649, git 003ca8597c8d0eb558b1819dbee203fda346ba77)

378.    [func]          vorner
        It is possible to start authoritative server or resolver in multiple
        instances, to use more than one core. Configuration is described in
        the guide.
        (Trac #1596, git 17f7af0d8a42a0a67a2aade5bc269533efeb840a)

377.    [bug]           jinmei
        libdns++: miscellaneous bug fixes for the NSEC and NSEC3 RDATA
        implementation, including a crash in NSEC3::toText() for some RR
        types, incorrect handling of empty NSEC3 salt, and incorrect
        comparison logic in NSEC3::compare().
        (Trac #1641, git 28ba8bd71ae4d100cb250fd8d99d80a17a6323a2)

376.    [bug]           jinmei, vorner
        The new query handling module of b10-auth did not handle type DS
        query correctly: It didn't look for it in the parent zone, and
        it incorrectly returned a DS from the child zone if it
        happened to exist there.  Both were corrected, and it now also
        handles the case of having authority for the child and a grand
        ancestor.
        (Trac #1570, git 2858b2098a10a8cc2d34bf87463ace0629d3670e)

375.    [func]          jelte
        Modules now inform the system when they are stopping. As a result,
        they are removed from the 'active modules' list in bindctl, which
        can then inform the user directly when it tries to send them a
        command or configuration update.  Previously this would result
        in a 'not responding' error instead of 'not running'.
        (Trac #640, git 17e78fa1bb1227340aa9815e91ed5c50d174425d)

374.    [func]*         stephen
        Alter RRsetPtr and ConstRRsetPtr to point to AbstractRRset (instead
        of RRset) to allow for specialised implementations of RRsets in
        data sources.
        (Trac #1604, git 3071211d2c537150a691120b0a5ce2b18d010239)

373.    [bug]           jinmei
        libdatasrc: the in-memory data source incorrectly rejected loading
        a zone containing a CNAME RR with RRSIG and/or NSEC.
        (Trac #1551, git 76f823d42af55ce3f30a0d741fc9297c211d8b38)

372.    [func]          vorner
        When the allocation of a socket fails for a different reason than the
        socket not being provided by the OS, the b10-auth and b10-resolver
        abort, as the system might be in inconsistent state after such error.
        (Trac #1543, git 49ac4659f15c443e483922bf9c4f2de982bae25d)

371.    [bug]           jelte
        The new query handling module of b10-auth (currently only used with
        the in-memory data source) now correctly includes the DS record (or
        the denial of its existence if NSEC is used) when returning a
        delegation from a signed zone.
        (Trac #1573, git bd7a3ac98177573263950303d4b2ea7400781d0f)

370.    [func]          jinmei
        libdns++: a new class NSEC3Hash was introduced as a utility for
        calculating NSEC3 hashes for various purposes.  Python binding was
        provided, too.  Also fixed a small bug in the NSEC3PARAM RDATA
        implementation that empty salt in text representation was
        rejected.
        (Trac #1575, git 2c421b58e810028b303d328e4e2f5b74ea124839)

369.    [func]          vorner
        The SocketRequestor provides more information about what error
        happened when it throws, by using subclasses of the original
        exception. This way a user not interested in the difference can
        still use the original exception, while it can be recognized if
        necessary.
        (Trac #1542, git 2080e0316a339fa3cadea00e10b1ec4bc322ada0)

368.    [func]*         jinmei
        libdatasrc: the interface of ZoneFinder() was changed: WILDCARD
        related result codes were deprecated and removed, and the
        corresponding information is now provided via a separate accessor
        method on FindResult.  Other separate FindResult methods will
        also tell the caller whether the zone is signed with NSEC or NSEC3
        (when necessary and applicable).
        (Trac #1611, git c175c9c06034b4118e0dfdbccd532c2ebd4ba7e8)

367.    [bug]           jinmei
        libdatasrc: in-memory data source could incorrectly reject to load
        zones containing RRSIG records.  For example, it didn't allow
        RRSIG that covers a CNAME RR.  This fix also makes sure find()
        will return RRsets with RRSIGs if they are signed.
        (Trac #1614, git e8241ea5a4adea1b42a60ee7f2c5cfb87301734c)

366.    [bug]           vorner
        Fixed problem where a directory named "io" conflicted with the python3
        standard module "io" and caused the installation to fail.  The
        offending directory has been renamed to "cio".
        (Trac #1561, git d81cf24b9e37773ba9a0d5061c779834ff7d62b9)

365.    [bug]           jinmei
        libdatasrc: in-memory datasource incorrectly returned delegation
        for DS lookups.
        (Trac #1571, git d22e90b5ef94880183cd652e112399b3efb9bd67)

364.    [func]          jinmei
        b10-auth experimentally supports statistics counters of incoming
        requests per opcode.  The counters can be (e.g.) shown as
        opcode.<code name> in the output of the bindctl "Stats show"
        command, where <code name> is lower-cased textual representation
        of opcodes ("query", "notify", etc).
        Note: This is an experimental attempt of supporting more
        statistics counters for b10-auth, and the interface and output may
        change in future versions.
