I think this will happen in May - because we plan to release our last 9.16 
package in April.

I assume the day is approaching when the packages in the COPR 
repositories will be changed; isc/bind-esv will have 9.18 (instead of 
9.16), and ics/bind will have 9.20


So that we might start weaving this into our maintenance plans, is there 
a projected date on which this will happen?

The 9.18 branch has consistently out-performed the 9.16 branch, and we 
are confident that it is more stable than 9.16. One of our support 
engineers has prepared a helpful knowledgebase article on updating 
from 9.16 to 9.18 
(https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-bind-916-to-918 
) 
which may be useful to you as you plan your migration.


For an overview of our release plan, we maintain another knowledgebase 
article (https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896 
). 
This was updated earlier this month, to move the start of future new 
stable branches from Q1 to Q2. The problem with starting a new stable 
branch in Q1 is, after the long holiday quiet period, we always have a 
number of important fixes and changes we need to release *before* we 
can start a new stable branch. We are currently projecting that our 
next stable branch, BIND 9.20, will be released in Q2.


For your convenience, we also maintain our planned EOL dates listed 
next to each software release on https://www.isc.org/download/ 
.

BIND 9.16 is approaching EOL in April, 2024

2024-02-26 Thread Victoria Risk 
The BIND 9.16 release branch is approaching EOL as of April, 2024. We encourage 
users running 9.16 or (gasp) 9.11, to upgrade to 9.18. 

The 9.18 branch has consistently out-performed the 9.16 branch, and we are 
confident that it is more stable than 9.16. One of our support engineers has 
prepared a helpful knowledgebase article on updating from 9.16 to 9.18 
(https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-bind-916-to-918)
 which may be useful to you as you plan your migration.

For an overview of our release plan, we maintain another knowledgebase article 
(https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896). This was updated earlier this month, to 
move the start of future new stable branches from Q1 to Q2. The problem with 
starting a new stable branch in Q1 is, after the long holiday quiet period, we 
always have a number of important fixes and changes we need to release *before* 
we can start a new stable branch. We are currently projecting that our next 
stable branch, BIND 9.20, will be released in Q2.

For your convenience, we also maintain our planned EOL dates listed next to 
each software release on https://www.isc.org/download/.
