  BIND 9.9.3b1 is the first beta release of BIND 9.9.3.

    Makes available a new XML schema (version 3.0) for the statistics

    flattens the XML tree and uses compressed format to optimize
    parsing. It also includes new XSL that permits charting via the
    Google Charts API on browsers that support javascript in XSL.
    To enable, build BIND with "configure --enable-newstats". [RT

2 bits of feedback on the beta announcement:

I have software that reads the stats channel.

Please, if you have a new schema, put it on another URI so that software that wants the old schema gets it, and software that wants the new explicitly requests it. E.g. '/statistics/v3'

Flag day changes are not good...

I also have a patch that provides just the config data on another URI (/config) - which I wish you'd accept in some form - it's very useful for management software that doesn't want to parse all the stats (which in perl takes forever), but does want the list of zones served. I sent it to you folks quite some time ago (and could resend).

Since you're obviously in the code, would you re-consider this? It's pretty straightforward, it simply selects a subset of the data in the (then-) existing flow.

Thanks on both counts.
