BIND 9.2.0b1 is now available. This is the first beta release of
BIND 9.2.0, which contains a number of new features over BIND 9.1.
Several bugs have been fixed and some minor features have been
added since 9.2.0a3.

The OpenSSL library is no longer included with the distribution.
This means that to use DNSSEC, OpenSSL must be installed and the
--with-openssl option must be supplied to configure. This does not
apply to the use of TSIG, which does not require OpenSSL.

BIND 9.2.0b1 can be downloaded from

        ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.0b1/bind-9.2.0b1.tar.gz

The PGP signature of the distribution is at

        ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.0b1/bind-9.2.0b1.tar.gz.asc

The signature was generated with the ISC public key, which is available
at <http://www.isc.org/ISC/isckey.txt>.

A list of changes made since 9.2.0a1 follows. For earlier changes,
see the file CHANGES in the distribution.

--------

        --- 9.2.0b1 released ---

                         systems that manage capabilities outside of named.
                        [RT #1503]

 938. [placeholder]

 937. [bug] A race when shutting down a zone could trigger a
                        INSIST() failure. [RT #1034]

 936. [func] Warn about IPv4 addresses that are not complete
                        dotted quads. [RT #1084]

 935. [bug] inet_pton failed to reject leading zeros.

 934. [port] Deal with systems where accept() spuriously returns
                        ECONNRESET.

 933. [bug] configure failed doing libbind on platforms not
                        supported by BIND 8. [RT #1496]

        --- 9.2.0a3 released ---

 932. [bug] Use INSTALL_SCRIPT, not INSTALL_PROGRAM,
                        when installing isc-config.sh.
                        [RT #198, #1466]

 931. [bug] The controls statement only attempted to verify
                        messages using the first key in the key list.

 930. [func] Query performance testing tool added as
                        contrib/queryperf.

 929. [placeholder]

 928. [bug] nsupdate would send empty update packets if the
                        send (or empty line) command was run after
                        another send but before any new updates or
                        prerequisites were specified. It should simply
                        ignore this command.

 927. [bug] Don't hold the zone lock for the entire dump to disk.
                        [RT #1423]

 926. [bug] The resolver could deadlock with the ADB when
                        shutting down (multithreaded builds only).

                        --with-openssl be specified if DNSSEC is needed.

 924. [port] Extend support for pre-RFC2133 IPv6 implementation.
                        [RT #987]

                        a truncated message.

 920. [func] Increase the lwres receive buffer size to 16K.
                        [RT #1451]

 919. [placeholder]

 918. [func] In nsupdate, TSIG errors are no longer treated as
                        fatal errors.

 917. [func] New nsupdate command 'key', allowing TSIG keys to
                        be specified in the nsupdate command stream rather
                        than the command line.

 916. [bug] Specifying type ixfr to dig without specifying
                        a serial number failed in unexpected ways.

 915. [func] The named-checkconf and named-checkzone programs
                        now have a '-v' option for printing their version.
                        [RT #1151]

 914. [bug] Global 'server' statements were rejected when
                        using views, even though they were accepted

                        [RT #1441, #1444]

 912. [bug] Attempts to set the 'additional-from-cache' or
                        'additional-from-auth' option to 'no' in a
                        server with recursion enabled will now
                        be ignored and cause a warning message.
                        [RT #1145]

 911. [placeholder]

 910. [port] Some pre-RFC2133 IPv6 implementations do not define
                        IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT. [RT #1416]

 908. [func] New program, rndc-confgen, to simplify setting up rndc.

 907. [func] The ability to get entropy from either the
                        random device, a user-provided file or from
                        the keyboard was migrated from the DNSSEC tools
                        to libisc as isc_entropy_usebestsource().

 906. [port] Separated the system independent portion of
                        lib/isc/unix/entropy.c into lib/isc/entropy.c
                        and added lib/isc/win32/entropy.c.

 905. [bug] Configuring a forward "zone" for the root domain
                        did not work. [RT #1418]

 904. [bug] The server would leak memory if attempting to use
                        an expired TSIG key. [RT #1406]

 903. [bug] dig should not crash when receiving a TCP packet
                        of length 0.

 902. [bug] The -d option was ignored if both -t and -g were also
                        specified.

 901. [placeholder]

 900. [bug] A config.guess update changed the system identification
                        string of FreeBSD systems; configure and
                        bin/tests/system/ifconfig.sh now recognize the new
                        string.

        --- 9.2.0a2 released ---

 899. [bug] lib/dns/soa.c failed to compile on many platforms
                        due to inappropriate use of a void value.
                        [RT #1372, #1373, #1386, #1387, #1395]

 898. [bug] "dig" failed to set a nonzero exit status
                        on UDP query timeout. [RT #1323]

 897. [bug] A config.guess update changed the system identification
                        string of UnixWare systems; configure now recognizes
                        the new string.

 896. [bug] If a configuration file is set on named's command line
                        and it has a relative pathname, the current directory
                        (after any possible jailing resulting from named -t)
                        will be prepended to it so that reloading works
                        properly even when a directory option is present.

 895. [func] New function, isc_dir_current(), akin to POSIX's
                        getcwd().

 894. [bug] When using the DNSSEC tools, a message intended to warn
                        when the keyboard was being used because of the lack
                        of a suitable random device was not being printed.

 893. [func] Removed isc_file_test() and added isc_file_exists()
                        for the basic functionality that was being added
                        with isc_file_test().

 892. [placeholder]

 891. [bug] Return an error when a SIG(0) signed response to
                        an unsigned query is seen. This should actually
                        do the verification, but it's not currently
                        possible. [RT #1391]

 890. [cleanup] The man pages no longer require the mandoc macros
                        and should now format cleanly using most versions of
                        nroff, and HTML versions of the man pages have been
                        added. Both are generated from DocBook source.

 889. [port] Eliminated blank lines before .TH in nroff man
                        pages since they cause problems with some versions
                        of nroff. [RT #1390]

 888. [bug] Don't die when using TKEY to delete a nonexistent
                        TSIG key. [RT #1392]

 887. [port] Detect broken compilers that can't call static
                        functions from inline functions. [RT #1212]

 866. [func] Close debug only file channels when debug is set to
                        zero. [RT #1246]

 865. [bug] The new configuration parser did not allow
                        the optional debug level in a "severity debug"
                        clause of a logging channel to be omitted.
                        This is now allowed and treated as "severity
                        debug 1;" like it does in BIND 8.2.4, not as
                        "severity debug 0;" like it did in BIND 9.1.
                        [RT #1367]

 864. [cleanup] Multithreading is now enabled by default on
                        OSF1, Solaris 2.7 and newer, AIX, IRIX, and HP-UX.

 863. [bug] If an error occurred while an outgoing zone transfer
                        was starting up, the server could access a domain
                        name that had already been freed when logging a
                        message saying that the transfer was starting.
                        [RT #1383]

 862. [bug] Use after realloc(), non portable pointer arithmetic in
                        grmerge().

 861. [port] Add support for Mac OS X, by making it equivalent
                        to Darwin. This was derived from the config.guess
                        file shipped with Mac OS X. [RT #1355]

 860. [func] Drop cross class glue in zone transfers.

 859. [bug] Cache cleaning now won't swamp the CPU if there
                        is a persistent overlimit condition.

 858. [func] isc_mem_setwater() no longer requires that when the
                        callback function is non-NULL then its hi_water
                        argument must be greater than its lo_water argument
                        (they can now be equal) or that they be non-zero.

 857. [cleanup] Use ISC_MAGIC() to define all magic numbers for
                        structs, for our friends in EBCDIC-land.

 856. [func] Allow partial rdatasets to be returned in answer and
                        authority sections to help non-TCP capable clients
                        recover from truncation. [RT #1301]

 855. [bug] Stop spurious "using RFC 1035 TTL semantics" warnings.

 854. [bug] The config parser didn't properly handle config
                        options that were specified in units of time other
                        than seconds. [RT #1372]

 853. [bug] configure_view_acl() failed to detach existing acls.
                        [RT #1374]

 852. [bug] Handle responses from servers which do not know
                        about IXFR.

 851. [cleanup] The obsolete support-ixfr option was not properly
                        ignored.
