BIND 9.12 development is getting closer to completion! Barring surprises, BIND 9.12.0b2, now available for download, should be the last development beta before the release candidate. If you want to give it a try in time to provide us feedback before our RC code freeze you can find the beta at:
https://www.isc.org/downloads Did you know? Minor releases within a BIND branch tend not to introduce new features or make major changes to existing features but new branches are when we make significant changes to BIND. BIND 9.12.0 will be the first release in the 9.12 series and in the release notes you can find information about the new features, improvements, and fixes that are included in 9.12. You should also review the "Features Removed" section as well. For example, going forward HMAC-MD5 will not be recommended for RNDC keys. For backwards compatibility HMAC-MD5 can still be used, but the default algorithm used by rndc-confgen is now HMAC-SHA256. The release notes can be found at: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01536/0/BIND-9.12.0b2-Release-Notes.html User input on development releases is an important part of improving our software and we especially appreciate help from those who are willing to test development releases and provide constructive feedback. Thank you especially to those who have provided input during the alpha release period and also to those who will help evaluate the new beta release. _______________________________________________ bind-announce mailing list bind-announce@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-announce
