34.2.4
4================
5FEATURES:
6	- Fix #48: Add make distclean that removes config.h made by configure.
7	  And add maintainer-clean that removes bison and flex output.
8BUG FIXES:
9	- Detect fixed time memcmp for openssl 0.9.8 compatibility.
10	- Detect EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name for openssl 0.9.8.
11	- include limits.h for UINT_MAX.

13	  where our fallback function left it, msg_flags also does not exist
14	  on some systems.
15	- Remove unused variable warning for portability.
16	- Fix #52: do not log transient network full errors unless higher
17	  verbosity is set.
18	- Fix regressions in configparser.y where global variables were not
19	  set for minimal-responses, round-robin and log-time-ascii.
20
21
224.2.3
23================
24FEATURES:
25	- For #39: confine-to-zone configures NSD to not return out-of-zone
26	  additional information. Contributed by Greg Bock.
27	- For #21: pidfile "" allows to run NSD without a pidfile, for
28	  startup management tools like daemontools.
29	- For #21 add
30	  contrib/patch_for_s6_startup_and_other_service_supervisors.diff
31	  that adds support for readiness notification with READY_FD from
32	  Cameron Nemo.
33BUG FIXES:
34	- Fix #35: excessive logging of ixfr failures, it stops the log when
35	  fallback to axfr is possible. log is enabled at high verbosity.
36	- Fixup warnings during --disable-ipv6 compile.
37	- The nsd.conf includes are sorted ascending, for include statements
38	  with a '*' from glob.
39	- Fix #38: log address and failure reason with tls handshake errors,
40	  squelches (the same as unbound) some unless high verbosity is used.
41	- Fixup clang analysis warning in xfrd_parse_received_xfr_packet
42	  master dereference.
43CHANGES:
44	- Number of different UDP handlers has been reduced to one. recvmmsg

62	  with assertions enabled, an assertion catches it.
63	- Fix #19: Out-of-bounds read caused by improper validation of
64	  array index.  Reported by Frederic Cambus.  The zone parser
65	  fails on type SIG because of mismatched definition with RRSIG.

86	- PR #12: send-buffer-size, receive-buffer-size,
87	  tcp-reject-overflow options for nsd.conf, from Jeroen Koekkoek.
88	- Fix #14, tcp connections have 1/10 to be active and have to work
89	  every second, and then they get time to complete during a reload,
90	  this is a process that lingers with the old version during a version
91	  update.
92BUG FIXES:
93	- Fix #13: Stray dot at the end of some log entries, removes dot
94	  after updated serial number in log entry.
95	- Fix TLS cipher selection, the previous was redundant, prefers
96	  CHACHA20-POLY1305 over AESGCM and was not as readable as it
97	  could be.

107	  values from setting event library lists and assertions, that would
108	  sometimes also show after event_del.
109	- Do not use symbol from libc, instead use own replacement, if not
110	  available, for accept4.

113
1144.2.0
115================

146================
147FEATURES:
148	- Deny ANY with only one RR in response, by default.  Patch from
149	  Daisuke Higashi.  The deny-any statement in nsd.conf sets ANY

180	  allows the change of a zone pattern option without downtime for
181	  the zone, in one operation.
182BUG FIXES:
183	- Fix #4194: Zone file parser derailed by non-FQDN names in RHS of
184	  DNSSEC RRs.
185	- Fix #4202: nsd-control delzone incorrect exit code on error.
186	- Tab style fix to use tab for 8 spaces, from Xiaobo Liu.

219================
220FEATURES:
221	- #4102: control interface via local socket.
222	  configure it with control-interface: "/path/nsd.ctl"  The path

668
669
6704.0.3
671================
672BUG FIXES:
673	- Fix nsd.db unclean close check.  Previous databases are considered
674	  unclean by the code and are created anew.
675	- Adds nsd.db larger than 400Tb check for sanity. Also test if
676	  filesize as documented in the file is correct.

686	- Return REFUSED for queries to non-hosted zones.
687
688BUG FIXES:

691	- remove mention of nsdc from nsd-checkconf manpage.
692	- Disabled recvmmsg and sendmmsg usage by default because kernel
693	  versions have implementation issues: ipv6 ignored, security issues.
694	- Detect libevent2 install automatically by configure, and use
695	  event2 header files if necessary.
696	- Fix #551: change Regent to Copyright holder in the LICENSE,
697	  to match the definition on opensource.org for the BSD License.
698	- Fix #552: zonefile loads on nsd-control reconfig when the name

703	  check serial).
704	- Fix that NSD will delete and recreate not-clean-closed databases.

715BUG FIXES:
716	- Fix xfrd when zone transfer TCP contains zero length packets.
717	- Fix for NSEC3 zones where parent zone is co-hosted, also NSEC3,
718	  because AXFRs overwrote nsec3 administration in the child zone.
719   	- Fix that bad IXFR updates do not result in double SOA records,
720	  and that an AXFR is started (attempted) when the zone state seems
721	  to be inconsistent with the master's zone state.
722	- Log ip address for sendto and sendmmsg failures.
723	- Fix segfaults after read of zones with rr type WKS from zonefile.
724	- Seed PRNG for openssl at start of daemon, fixes SSL connection issue.
725	- Bugfix #534: IXFR query loop over UDP for zones that are unchanged.
726	- (same as in 3.2.16): fix wildcard cname to nxdomain repeated rrset.

728	  negative response.
729	- Check if configure in srcdir collides with outofdir build.
730	- Fix #546:  output format errors in nsd_munin_ (Thanks Tom Hendrikx).

732
7334.0.0	NSD 4.0
734===============
735FEATURES:
736	- documented in doc/NSD-4-features. Change configuration without
737	  restart, direct nameserver control with nsd-control, support a
738	  higher number of zones. Higher performance (compared to NSD3).
739	- nsdc is gone. Use kill -HUP for reload (also checks if zonefiles
740	  have changed and rereads them), and kill -TERM for quit. Or use
741	  nsd-control for detailed control.
742	- cron job for nsdcpatch is gone. nsd-control write creates zonefiles.
743	- nsd.db has a new format that compacts itself when it is changed,
744	  thus nsdc patch is no longer necessary.
745	- nsd.db is memory mapped, NSD needs (part of) that mmap in ram.
746	- tcp-count can go above 1000; epoll/kqueue support with libevent.
747	- nsd-control reconfig for updates with no restart (zones, keys, ..)
748	- nsd-control-setup to create keys for nsd-control (enable nsd-control
749	  with remote-control: yes in nsd.conf).
750	- the NSD 3 feature of special zone stats are not ported to 4 yet,
751	  as it would entail a complete reimplementation of the feature.
752FEATURES (incremental from BETA5):
753	- configure --disable-recvmmsg for compat with older Linux kernels,
754	  by default it autodetects support in the kernel on the buildmachine.
755	- Fix time at 2038, uint32s changed to time_t, support 64bit time_t.
756	- Fix use of 32bit time, for 2038, thanks to Theo de Raadt for patch.
757BUG FIXES (incremental from BETA5):
758	- Bugfix #518 Incorrect RRL prefix length option names in nsd.conf
759	  man page from Ville Mattila.
760	- Fix that xfrd, and nsd-control, does not stop responding when reload
761	  errors out. The pid is sent like it should by server_main.
762	- Fix that EOF in quoted string error does not cause reload to exit.
763	- Fixup errors from the stack code checker.
764	- Removed use of random when arc4random is available. Thus, random
765	  and srandom are then not linked with the executable.
766	- Fix segfault with no logfile and chroot (Thanks Patrik Lundin).
767
7684.0.0b5   BETA 5 release of NSD 4.0
769==================================
770FEATURES:
771	- Optimizations for startup, qps and tcp speed, beta bug fixes and
772	  merge with code changes with NSD 3.2.16.
773	- nsd-mem tool (make nsd-mem) to estimate memory usage.
774	- Same as NSD 3.2.16: --enable-draft-rrtypes(EUI48, EUI64), rr-slip,
775	  rrl-ipv[46]-prefix-length, ip-transparent config options.
776	- configure option --disable-flto.
777	- improved RRL logging (query details that caused blockage).
778	- nsd-control status prints out ratelimit if ratelimit is enabled.
779	- nsd-control verbosity prints out verbosity level without argument.
780	- Fix #491: pick program name (of executable) as syslog identity.
781	- printout percentage for long activities (to log).  After about 5
782	  seconds have passed.
783BUG FIXES:
784	- The same fixes up to NSD 3.2.16.
785	- Fix that old zonefile does not override newer AXFR for slave zones.
786	- Nicer printout of notify.
787	- Fix tcp zonetransfer pipeline lookup function.
788	- Fix compile on bigendian netbsd alpha.
789	- Fixup the growth and shrinkage of nsd.db.  This should use less
790	  calls to remap and change the file and mmap size.
791	- notify information is logged at correct verbosity level, 1.
792	- Fix memory statistics in nsd_munin_.
793	- faster nsec3 updates.
794	- Fixup contrib/bug390.patch for 4.0.0b4.
795	- remove leak of nsec3.
796	- allocate radixtree in region for small (5%) total savings and
797	  about 15% savings in the radixtree itself (due to many small alloc
798	  savings in region).
799	- Patch from Lukas Wunner that makes nsd.conf include files work
800	  inside chroot/etc environments on repattern and reconfig.
801	- Fix race on exit of nsd, for restarts, so that the pidfile-pid
802	  process waits until port53 has been closed before exiting.
803	- Patch from Lukas Wunner that makes chroot more consistent.
804	  Make all paths absolute with the chrootdir in front, or use
805	  an absolute zonesdir with other paths relative to that.
806	- Fix segfault on repeated reconfigs, double free of zone apex name.
807	- Fix zone parser allocations are put in the db region.
808	- Fix memory leak in zone parser for txt record.
809	- Optimizations: -O3 if possible (user can override CFLAGS), udp
810	  buffers are set to 1m by default (if socket options exist),
811	  use recvmmsg and sendmmsg, or only recvmmsg, or recvfrom.
812	- nsd.db 12% smaller, no nsec3 hash storage.  Also ups udb version
813	  because of the format change.  The nsd.db is recreated when a
814	  different version number is detected on startup.
815	- Fix region-allocator for speedup of load and change of large data.
816	- Increase tcpbacklog default to 256 (silently capped to 128 on BSD).
817	  For remote control keep it at 16, it has less TCP load.
818	  It does not actually increase TCP performance (some except), but
819	  reduces connection loss when there is a spike in TCP connections.
820	- unlink xfr file if transfer is stopped, timeouted or interrupted.
821	  And unlink xfr file in progress when the zone is deleted.
822
8234.0.0b4   BETA 4 release of NSD 4.0

830	- remove printout of "bad transfer" to the log for notimpl.
831	- printout log less verbosely, not every axfr packet.
832	- RRL documented in nsd.conf.sample
833	- Fix is_apex flag for zones read from udb.
834	- Fix that nsec3 zones are precompiled when read from udb.  This
835	  caused assertion failures.
836	- Less printout of 'bad transfer'.
837	- Fix AXFR of NSEC3 slave zone.
838	- Fix that old zonefile does not override newer AXFR for slave zones.
839	- Nicer printout of notify on verbosity 2.
840

842==================================
843BUG FIXES:
844	- applied patch from Robin Hack to remove double pid file truncation.
845	- repattern is called reconfig (because most config options are
846	  picked up, except for superuser options (chroot, logfile, port))
847	- document that the zonefile attribute can be empty.
848	- documented that the _implicit_ pattern names are used internally.
849	- Added zonefiles-check option, default yes, check mtimes of zone files
850	  on sighup and startup (from Robin Hack).

853	- List libevent in README.
854	- Fix configure for gentoo gcc and headers.
855	- do-ip4 and do-ip6 nsd.conf options just like unbound.
856	- do not leave task files in /tmp if nsd fails to startup because
857	  of file permissions.
858	- create xfrdir on make install (does not remove on make uninstall,
859	  because this could be /tmp).
860	- Fix segv if xfrdir does not exit.
861	- log ip address with tcp failure.
862	- Fix time calculation of zone transfer.
863

931	- RRL, --enable-ratelimit at configure time and config options.
932	- TSIG initialization only fails when there is no digest found
933	  at all.
934
935BUG FIXES:
936	- Bugfix #478: Declaration after statement (for gcc 2.95).
937	- Bugfix #483: Better error message in case of TSIG error.
938	- Bugfix #485: TTL should not be greater than 2^31 - 1.
939	- Fix RCODE when CNAME loop final answer does not exist, should
940	  return NXDOMAIN as stated by RFC 6604.
941	- Fix --disable-full-prehash bug, where after multiple incoming
942	  IXFRs, NSEC3 can be removed unjustified.
943
9443.2.14
945================
946
947FEATURES:
948	- TCP writev support.
949
950BUG FIXES:
951	- Fix build on OpenBSD (thanks Oliver Peter).
952	- Prioritize notify sender for requesting XFR (thanks Ilya Bakulin).
953	- Fix crash in zonec if TXT string too long  (thanks Ilya Bakulin).
954	- tzset before chroot for correct timezone (thanks Camiel Dobbelaar).
955	- Fix --disable-full-prehash bug when nsdc patch happens while ixfr too,
956	  it did not rehash the new database.
957	- Bugfix #464: Conditionally define MAXHOSTNAMELEN.
958
9593.2.13
960================
961
962BUG FIXES:
963	- Fix for nsd-patch segfault if zone has been removed from nsd.conf
964	  (thanks Ilya Bakulin).
965	- Bugfix #460: man page correction - identity.
966	- Bugfix #461: NSD child segfaults when asked for out-of-zone data
967	  with --enable-zone-stats. [VU#517036 CVE-2012-2979]
968
969
9703.2.12
971================
972
973BUG FIXES:
974	- Fix for VU#624931 CVE-2012-2978: NSD denial of service
975	  vulnerability from non-standard DNS packet from any host
976	  on the internet.
977	  http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/CVE-2012-2978.txt
978
979
9803.2.11
981================
982
983FEATURES:
984	- Fallback to AXFR if IXFR is unknown at the primary. NSD considers
985	  IXFR unknown at the primary if there is a negative response for the
986	  IXFR RRtype. This does not override the value for
987	  'allow-axfr-fallback'.
988	- Allow for reading in new DNSKEY algorithm mnemonics (RFC5155,
989	  RFC5702, RFC5933, and RFC6605 (ECDSA)).
990	- Zone statistics, enable with --enable-zone-stats. This stores the
991	  BIND8 stats per zone in a configurable statistics file. This option
992	  does not scale and should therefore not be enabled when serving
993	  many zones.
994	- Support for TLSA RRtype (DANE).
995
996BUG FIXES:
997	- Fix for qtype ANY for a wildcard domain in NSEC signed zone: Don't
998	  add the wildcard domain NSEC into the answer section. Instead,
999	  put the wildcard expanded NSEC into the answer section and keep the
1000	  wildcard domain NSEC in the authority section.
1001	- Fix for accept spinning reported by OpenBSD.
1002	- Fix restart failed due to bad ixfr packet because of zone removed
1003	  from nsd.conf.
1004	- Bugfix #453: typo in nsdc man page.
1005
1006OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1007	- NSD uses the query name for dname compression again (Fix #235
1008	  had as side effect that this didn't happen anymore and is hereby
1009	  undone).
1010
1011
10123.2.10
1013================
1014
1015BUG FIXES:
1016	- Bugfix #421: Truncate pidfile on shutdown, before unlink.
1017	- Bugfix #423: Fix slow zone transfer processing due to
1018	  'Fix is_existing flag for ENT' bugfix.
1019	- Fix bug #430: segfault when MAX_INTERFACES set to more than 65K.
1020	- Fix configure.ac strptime check for gcc 4.6.2, acx_nlnetlabs update.
1021
1022
10233.2.9
1024================
1025
1026FEATURES:
1027	- Minimize responses to reduce truncation: NSD will only add optional
1028	  records to the authority and additional sections when the response
1029	  size does not exceed the minimal response size.
1030
1031	  The minimal response size is 512 (no-EDNS), 1480 (EDNS/IPv4),
1032	  1220 (EDNS/IPv6), or the advertized EDNS buffer size if that is
1033	  smaller than the EDNS default.
1034
1035	  The feature is enabled by default. You can disable it by configuring
1036	  NSD with --disable-minimal-responses.
1037
1038	- Less NSEC3 prehashing. This will make NSD handle zone transfers
1039	  faster, but will decrease the performance of NXDOMAIN and wildcard
1040	  NODATA responses. Full prehashing is enabled by default. If you want
1041	  less NSEC3 prehashing, configure NSD with --disable-full-prehash.
1042	  Thanks Secure64 for the patch.
1043
1044BUG FIXES:
1045	- Bugfix #302: nsd accepts XFR but refuses to re-read the slave zone.
1046	- Bugfix #365: set patch style and zonec verbose for nsdc.
1047	- First step of bug #369: RRSIG DNSKEY sets zone to be treated DNSSEC.
1048	- Bugfix #375: typos in nsd.conf.5.
1049	- Bugfix #381: Binary escaped and transfers.
1050	- Bugfix #397: Don't allow relative domain names as origin in $INCLUDE
1051	  directives.
1052	- Fix printout of IPSECKEY by nsd-patch.
1053	- Fix is_existing flag for ENT when domain that has a shared ENT
1054	  is deleted by IXFR. (ENT == Empty Non-Terminal)
1055	- Fix bug if the zonefile is changed for a secondary but stored
1056	  transfers are applied, and stop it from applying ixfr to empty zone.
1057	  The zone is flagged with error and AXFR-ed.
1058	- Fix to have no authority NS set processing for CNAMEs.
1059	- Fix nsd-checkconf to check tsig algorithms properly.
1060	- Set the AA bit on responses that have an authoritative CNAME.
1061	- Fix denial of existence response for empty non-terminal that looks
1062	  like a NSEC3-only domain (but has data below it).
1063
1064OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1065	- nsd.db version number increased because NSD 3.2.7 and earlier
1066	  zonec is not compatible due to the TXT strings change. Please
1067	  run nsdc rebuild before running NSD 3.2.9 and later versions.
1068
1069
10703.2.8
1071=============
1072
1073BUG FIXES:
1074	- Do setusercontext() before chroot(), otherwise login.conf etc. are
1075	  required inside chroot.
1076	- Bugfix #216: Fix leak of compressiontable when the domain table increases
1077	  in size.
1078	- Bugfix #348: Don't include header/library path if OpenSSL is in /usr
1079	- Bugfix #350: Refused notifies should log client ip.
1080	- Bugfix #352: Fix hard coded paths in man pages.
1081	- Bugfix #354: The realclean target deletes a bit too much.
1082	- Bugfix #357, make xfrd quit with many zones.
1083	- Bugfix #362: outgoing-interface and v4 vs. v6 leads to spurious
1084	  warning messages.
1085	- Bugfix #363: nsd-checkconf -v does not print outgoing-interface ok.
1086	- Bugfix: nsd-checkconf -o outgoing-interface omits NOKEY.
1087
1088OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1089	- Use 'make clean' to clean up files that make created.
1090	- Use 'make realclean' to also clean up files that were generated by
1091	  running ./configure.
1092	- Use 'make devclean' to also clean up autoconf, autoheader files.
1093
10943.2.7
1095=============
1096
1097BUG FIXES:
1098	- Bugfix #253: Don't put NS RRs in a response with QTYPE=DS.
1099	- Bugfix #320: use arcrandom(4) for QID generation if available.
1100	- Bugfix #328: nsd-checkconf overrun.
1101	- Bugfix #343: nsdc update fix.
1102	- Bugfix #347: Wrong NSEC3 returned for nodata response QTYPE=DS no delegation.
1103	- Bugfix: Allow for huge amount of strings in TXT (and other) records.
1104	- Bugfix: nsdc can now deal with tsig algorithms other than hmac-md5.
1105	- Fixed several parts in the documentation, including #306, #345.
1106
11073.2.6
1108=============
1109
1110BUG FIXES:
1111	- Bugfix #314: correctly print NSEC next field, escape spaces and
1112	  fix label overflows.
1113
1114FEATURES:
1115	- Expand command line option '-a' and config option 'ip-address:'
1116	  with port number.
1117
1118OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1119	- Configure options --disable-dnssec, --disable-nsid, --disable-tsig
1120	  are removed.
1121	- Configure option --max-interfaces is renamed to --max-ips.
1122
11233.2.5
1124=============
1125BUG FIXES:
1126	- NSD will not start if chroot is configured, but changing root is
1127	  not possible (it used to ignore the badly configured chroot).
1128	- Make use of the more secure strl* functions.
1129	- Bugfix #303: spelling error.
1130
1131FEATURES:
1132	- New option 'nsid:', to specify the NSID (Bugfix #298).
1133	- The default chroot can be set with --with-chroot=<dir>.
1134	  If not set, by default chroot will not be used (thanks Jakob Schlyter).
1135	- Optimized zonec and b64_pton compatibility code (thanks Martin Svec).
1136	- Optimized memory allocations. Use mmap/munmap instead of malloc/free.
1137		Experimental, by default off. Enable it at build time with
1138		--enable-mmap (thanks Martin Svec).
1139
1140OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1141	- NSID support is now enabled by default.
1142
11433.2.4
1144=============
1145BUG FIXES:
1146	- Bugfix #269: Additional C99 syntax.
1147	- Bugfix #276: Zonec prints debug data to stderr.
1148	- Bugfix #286: Document verbosity levels in nsd.conf manual page.
1149	- Bugfix #288: Ignore SIGHUP to child processes.
1150	- Fix typo in include file for setusercontext.
1151
1152FEATURES:
1153	- Support DLV records.
1154	- New option 'tcp-query-count:', to limit the maximum number of
1155		DNS queries on a single tcp connection.
1156	- New option 'tcp-timeout:', to override the default tcp timeout.
1157		The default can also be set at build time, --with-tcp-timeout=<number>.
1158	- New option 'notify-retry:', to configure how many times NSD should retry
1159		a NOTIFY message.
1160	- New options 'ipv4-edns-size:' and 'ipv6-edns-size:'. to set your preferred
1161		EDNS buffer size.
1162
1163OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1164	- UDP/IPv4 sockets have new options set that will disable the DF flag in IP
1165		packets.
1166
11673.2.3
1168=============
1169BUG FIXES:
1170	- Bugfix #236: Allow RRs before the SOA in a zonefile.
1171	- Bugfix #249: Remove the C99 code.
1172	- Bugfix #253: Don't put NS RRs in a response with QTYPE=DNSKEY.
1173	- Bugfix #263: Make TSIG algorithm comparison case insensitive.
1174	- Bugfix #266: Build failed on systems without strptime.
1175	- Bugfix: install hickup.
1176	- Fix to use 4096 EDNS limit for IPv6 on Linux.
1177
11783.2.2
1179=============
1180BUG FIXES:
1181	- Off-by-one buffer overflow fix while processing the QUESTION section.
1182	- Return BADVERS when NSD does not implement the VERSION level of the
1183	  request, instead of 0x1<FORMERR>.
1184	- Bugfix #234.
1185	- Bugfix #235.
1186	- Reset 'error occurred' after notifying an error occurred at the $TTL or
1187		$ORIGIN directive (Otherwise, the whole zone is skipped because the
1188		error is reset after reading the SOA).
1189	- Minor bugfixes.
1190
11913.2.1
1192=============
1193OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1194	- NSD will now fallback to AXFR, only if the master does not support IXFR.
1195	- You can adjust nsdc patch to skip textfile patching. This will
1196	  increase the patching process, but will not output to zonefiles
1197	  anymore. By default, this is off.
1198
1199BUG FIXES:
1200	- When configuring, don't do strptime test when cross-compiling.
1201	- Bug #230: Output non-error messages to stdout.
1202	- Better error message when ixfr.db old file format is read.
1203	- Bug #218: shared UDP query for all interfaces.
1204	- Bug #222: Remove bashism from nsdc script.
1205	- Nicer check for SHA-256 functionality.
1206	- Fixed some minor memory leaks that occurred on reload.
1207	- nsdc: check if a lockfile has not gone stale, when lock failed.
1208	- Bugfix strptime compatibility function
1209
1210FEATURES:
1211	- New configuration option 'allow-afxr-fallback', "yes" by default. If
1212		set to "no", NSD will never do AXFR fallback, even if the master
1213		does not support IXFR.
1214	- Allow file rotation on nsd.log.
1215	- The new nsd-patch options -s and -o allows you to skip writing
1216		zonefiles and store the output directly to a database file,
1217		respectively.
1218
12193.2.0
1220=============
1221OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1222	- Format of ixfr.db has changed. When you are planning an upgrade to the
1223	  new NSD release, make sure to process the old ixfr.db before starting
1224	  the new release (by running nsdc patch).
1225	- IXFR is transmitted over TCP by default instead of UDP. If you want to
1226	  continue the use of IXFR/UDP, please modify your zone configuration
1227	  file to:
1228		request-xfr: UDP 1.2.3.4 tsigkey
1229	  We strongly recommend to enable TSIG if you send IXFR over UDP.
1230	  When all masters fail to transmit IXFR/UDP, slave will fallback to
1231		IXFR/TCP and eventually AXFR/TCP.
1232	- nsd-patch prints errors to stderr instead of stdout.
1233
1234BUG FIXES:
1235	- Only normalize dnames in rdatas when rrtype is listed in RFC 4034,
1236	  section 6.2: Canonical RR Form, following
1237	  draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-bis-updates (affects RRSIG and NSEC records).
1238	- Typo in zonec manpage.
1239	- Bugfix in log_finalize.
1240	- Fix race condition between nsdc patch and server reload.
1241
1242FEATURES:
1243	- AXFR/TCP fallback in case of failing IXFR zone transfers.
1244	- RFC 4635: support for hmac-sha1 and hmac-sha256 TSIG algorithm
1245		identifiers, "Bugfix #130".
1246	- Configure the source ip-address for notifies (master) and zone
1247		requests (slave) in nsd.conf, "Bugfix #148".
1248	- nsd-notify and nsd-xfer allow you to configure the outgoing
1249		hostname and source port, in addition to the source address.
1250	- Additional debug and verbose log messages.
1251
12523.1.1
1253=============
1254BUG FIXES:
1255	- Try to avoid race conditions with NSD reloading and nsdc running,
1256		by writing pidfile before closing old parent process.
1257	- Fixed NSEC3 memory leak in the case NSEC3 is not needed.
1258	- Fixed some memory leaks that happened on error, mostly on
1259		zone transfer errors.
1260	- Bugfix #191: nsd-checkconf allowed only (max_interfaces-1) interfaces.
1261
1262FEATURES:
1263	- The number of maximum interfaces allowed is configurable with
1264		--with-max_interfaces=<number> (thanks John Lightsey).
1265
12663.1.0
1267=============
1268OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1269	- Default locations of nsd.db, ixfr.db & xfrd.state are changed to
1270          the /var/db/nsd directory.
1271
1272BUG FIXES:
1273	- Zone compiler gives more sane error messages when out of
1274	  diskspace and bug #172: when compiling single zone file.
1275	- Changed man pages format from mdoc to mansun, to support the Solaris OS.
1276	- Log tcp read error only when connection not reset by peer or when
1277	  verbosity level is high.
1278	- RRs are compared without checking the TTL value.
1279
1280FEATURES:
1281	- NSD is now NSEC3 enabled by default. You can disable it by configuring
1282		NSD with --disable-nsec3.
1283	- Added "hide-version" configuration setting. Enabling this feature
1284		stops NSD from answering to CHAOS class version requests.
1285	- Added bind2nsd 0.5.0 (http://bind2nsd.sourceforge.net) in contrib/.
1286	- Report source and zone for denied AXFR attempts.
1287
12883.0.8
1289=============
1290FEATURES:
1291	- Better logging for nsd-notify (show 'broken' zone)
1292	- Add configuration for chkconfig to control nsd service.
1293
1294BUG FIXES:
1295	- Fixed nsdc start when nsd already running: do not initialize server,
1296		since it is already running.
1297	- Fixup bug where data related files are looked up in the wrong
1298	  directory when chrooted with chrootdir ending with a slash.
1299	- Fixup bug where nsd would return FORMERR if received an edns
1300	  query with version set to zero and rdlen larger than zero.
1301	- Fixed strptime, so that zonec will also work on systems with broken
1302		strptime (like leopard :-))
1303	- Do not answer nsec3 wildcard information when DO bit is not set
1304	- Better logging when creating database failed.
1305	- Various spelling errors
1306
13073.0.7
1308=============
1309BUG FIXES:
1310	- Error handling for malformed IXFRs improved.
1311	- Fixed man pages, consistent syntax.
1312
13133.0.6
1314=============
1315FEATURES:
1316	- Report source and zone for denied AXFR attempts.
1317
1318BUG FIXES:
1319	- More elegant handling of malformed nsec3 records from a zone
1320	  transfer.
1321	- Fixup ignored return value in region-allocator.
1322        - Added bind2nsd 0.5.0 (http://bind2nsd.sourceforge.net) in contrib/.
1323
13243.0.5
1325=============
1326BUG FIXES:
1327	- Fixed problem with reload waiting very long. If the OS has a
1328	  raging herd problem, NSD could block in a UDP operation and
1329	  that process would stop reload from finishing. Made UDP sockets
1330	  nonblocking.
1331	- Made TCP listen sockets nonblocking. NSD could block in accept.
1332	- Handle the new CERT RDATA types defined in RFC 4398 (submitted by
1333	  Mans Nilsson).
1334	- Fixed a bug where zonec would choke on unknown CERT RDATA types.
1335	- Change nsd-notify retry timer from linear into exponential
1336	  backoff (submitted by Mans Nilsson).
1337	- Debug flag (-d) behavior changed. Nsd now also forks children when
1338	  run in debug mode.
1339	- Added verbosity mode (-V <level>) for extra operational logging.
1340	- zonesdir default is /etc/nsd.  This can be overridden in nsd.conf.
1341	- if clients drop the tcp connection this does not result in a logfile
1342	  entry, unless verbosity is set 2 or more.
1343
13443.0.4
1345=============
1346BUG FIXES:
1347	- zonec will print an error when other data is put next to a CNAME.
1348	- Fixup unaligned memory access that could occur when reading ixfr.db
1349	  with a partial transfer inside.
1350	- Fixup for the WKS RR type printout by nsd-patch and nsd-xfer.
1351	- Error message 'could not read database CRC' now only given on error.
1352	- ./configure --zonesdir=<directory for zone files> now works to
1353	  set a default value for the zonesdir: <dir> nsd.conf directive.
1354	  Set zonesdir: "" to disable the change of directory.
1355	- Bug: reload crashes with log message 'continuing with old database',
1356	  and after that no more zone updates. Manual fix is to kill -HUP,
1357	  but now fixed in software to try to reload again (and again).
1358	- Small speedup where xfrd could briefly be busy-waiting.
1359	- If master sends IXFR with glue that is already present in the zone
1360	  this is silently accepted. Printed in debug mode -L 2. To make
1361	  the log file smaller.
1362	- Exponential backoff for zones that never worked to max of 4 hours.
1363	  For expired zones the SOA retry values are used.
1364	- allow-notify acl entries 'NOKEY' match only queries without TSIG.
1365	- Answers to valid notifies contained wrong RR counts in the header.
1366	  The notifies were processed correctly, but now the acknowledgement
1367	  reply is in correct DNS format.
1368FEATURES:
1369	- Added contrib/nsd.zones2nsd.conf python script to convert NSD 2 to
1370	  NSD 3 config files, contributed by Stephane Bortzmeyer.
1371	- The nsdc control script will print 'nsd startup failed' if the nsd
1372	  executable does not start (due to bad permissions, bad config, ...).
1373
13743.0.3
1375=============
1376BUG FIXES:
1377	- Bug #152: NSD would not use the identity from nsd.conf, fixed.
1378	- Bug #153: When running with thousands of secondary zones, NSD would
1379	  run out of UDP sockets. Caused crash on FreeBSD, errors on Linux
1380	  ('out of file descriptors'), depending on ulimits. Fixed.
1381	- Fixed getaddrinfo error message to be more descriptive.
1382	- Fallback to ip4 if getaddrinfo fails for ip6.
1383	- Will no longer lose a notify message during reloads (IPC).
1384	- Will no longer lose transfer in progress when notified for that zone.
1385	- Nicer error when operator forgets to rebuild after deleting a zone.
1386
13873.0.2
1388=============
1389BUG FIXES:
1390	- Nice error from zonec on a wrong configuration zone name.
1391	- Nicer warning from zonec when starting secondary zone with
1392	  no zone file for the first time.
1393	- nsdc makes more portable use of 'which' (for SunOS5.9/bash2.05).
1394	- Bug #143: Improved handling of zonesdir: directive and relative
1395	  pidfile, database, diff file, xfrdfile paths in nsdc.sh and
1396	  nsd-patch. They would not find the files.
1397	- Bug #144: LOC RRtype default values for precision wrong. Fixed.
1398	- Bug #145: NSD failed to reload cases of simultaneous zone transfer.
1399	- Bug #146: NSD fails to write to xfrdfile when chrooted. Fixed.
1400		Also fix for difffile when chrooted.
1401	- Bug #147: NSD runs out of memory. Fixed, memory is reused.
1402	  Occurred when running NSD with very big zones and large updates.
1403	- nsd -L 1 logging is smaller, -L 2 contains all debug information.
1404	  (only available for debug compiles).
1405	- Bug #149: Fixed text for NOTAUTH error code. When notify is not
1406	  authorised REFUSED error code returned instead.

1436	- NSD produces "xfrd.state" file with zone timeout information.
1437	  The file is text formatted.
1438	- NSD sends notifies automatically,
1439	  nsd-notify is deprecated and will be removed from the package.
1440	- NSD requests AXFR/IXFR and reloads the updates automatically,

15252.3.0
1526=============
1527FEATURES:
1528        - DNSSEC is now enabled by default. NSD should be fully
1529          compliant with RFC4033, RFC4034, and RFC4035.
1530
1531BUG FIXES:
1532        - nsd: Ensure that the number of -a flags does not exceed the
1533          maximum specified by MAX_INTERFACES in config.h.
1534        - nsd-xfer: Use serial number arithmetic (RFC1982) for the
1535          zone serial check
1536        - nsdc: Don't pass (fake) serial number to nsd-xfer if the
1537          zone file does not exist.
1538        - zonec: Loading many zones would cause namedb_find_zone to
1539          slow down, performance patch by Kazunori Fujiwara.
1540        - Bug #96: nsd-xfer did not handle 8-bit domain names

1542
15432.2.1
1544=============
1545FEATURES:

1547
1548BUG FIXES:
1549        - Zero length RDATA using the unknown RR notation was not
1550          working (except for the APL RR type).

1552          be properly bracketed.
1553        - Bug #94: nsd-xfer: Handle unexpected EOF when receiving AXFR
1554          data.  Timeout if no data is received for more than 120
1555          seconds (see the TCP_TIMEOUT parameter in config.h).
1556        - Bug #95: An owner starting with an asterisk label ("*") was

1558
15592.2.0
1560=============
1561FEATURES:
1562        - nsd-xfer: replacement program for named-xfer to perform zone
1563          transfers using AXFR. TSIG is supported by nsd-xfer but not
1564          yet by the nsd server. DNSSEC is also supported.  TSIG
1565          requires OpenSSL version 0.9.7 or higher, configure using
1566          --disable-tsig if you do not have OpenSSL installed.
1567          Configure using --with-ssl=path if OpenSSL is not installed
1568          at a standard location.
1569
1570CODE CHANGES:
1571        - New data structure 'buffer_type' for representing binary
1572          buffers that can be read, written, and resized.  Data in
1573          these buffers is stored in network byte order.  This data
1574          structure replaces the iobuf field of 'struct query'.
1575
1576BUG FIXES:
1577        - Fixed endian problem in WKS record.
1578        - Protocol can now be specified numerically in WKS record.
1579        - Allow escape sequences (\DDD) in TTL, RR class, and RR type.
1580        - The zone compiler now accepts many more characters in
1581          unquoted strings such as domain name labels.  The characters
1582          no longer need to be escaped with a backslash.
1583        - Close included files after reading.
1584        - Maximum TCP message size is now 65535 bytes.  AXFR response
1585          packets are still limited to 16383 bytes for optimal
1586          compression of dnames.
1587        - The TSIG key for AXFRs can now also be stored in the file
1588          <zonename>.tsiginfo.  This makes it possible to use TSIG
1589          with multiple master servers.
1590        - Signals are no longer blocked while performing I/O so the
1591          server should respond quicker to signals.
1592        - Fixed parsing of LOC rdata.  Fractions and altitude were not
1593          handled correctly.
1594
15952.1.5
1596=============
1597BUG FIXES:
1598        - Bug #90: handle \000 in TXT records correctly
1599        - Fixed undefined behavior in the use of vsnprintf when
1600          logging messages.  This caused crashes on Linux/PPC.

1615        - Bug #89: Count the number of queries received over TCP,
1616          instead of the number of TCP connections.
1617        - Zonec: when - is used as input, set the filename to 'STDIN'.
1618        - The nsdc script handles failed AXFRs more gracefully.
1619        - NSD emits an error when it sees bitlabels (RFC 2673).
1620        - Only copy the CD bit when DNSSEC is enabled.
1621
16222.1.2
1623=============
1624FEATURES:
1625        - NSD now fully supports unknown record types using the
1626          notation specified in RFC3597.
1627        - Support for the following RR types has been added: WKS, X25,
1628          ISDN, RT, NSAP, PX, NAPTR, KX, CERT, DNAME, and APL.  DNAME
1629          special processing is not supported.
1630
1631BUG FIXES:
1632        - Bug #84: NSD now uses SIGUSR1 instead of SIGILL to report stats.
1633        - Bug #85: Support for WKS records.
1634        - Bug #86: The characters "#%&^[]?" can now be used without
1635          backslash in zone file domain names.
1636        - Plugin callback return type fixed.
1637        - The maximum message length for IPv6 UDP packets is now
1638          limited to the IPv6 minimum MTU (1280) unless the
1639          IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU socket option is supported.

1646          specified.
1647        - Bug #83: Close zone files after parsing.
1648        - Handle AFSDB RR type.
1649
16502.1.0
1651=============
1652FEATURES:
1653        - New networking code allows a single server to handle both
1654          UDP and TCP connections.  By default up to 10 simultaneous
1655          TCP connections are supported.  Use the '-n' flag to change
1656          the default.
1657
16582.0.2
1659=============
1660BUG FIXES:
1661        - Allow the use of a mnemonic for the algorithm field of a
1662          DNSKEY record.
1663        - Behavior of the zonec -v flag has been modified.  By default
1664          zonec will only print a single line with a summary of the
1665          error count.
1666        - Bug #75: Fixed typo in previous "fix".
1667
16682.0.1

1670BUG FIXES:
1671        - Queries for QTYPE DS (DNSSEC) were not handled correctly in
1672          certain cases.
1673        - Partial support for unknown RRs.  Known RR types with
1674          unknown RR data format is not yet supported.
1675        - Bug #75: Fixed bad error message when nsdc update is run for
1676          the first time.
1677        - Bug #78: Multiple zones, each with include directives, are
1678          now compiled correctly.

16802.0.0
1681=============
1682FEATURES:
1683        - Experimental DNSSEC support implemented, but disabled by
1684          default.  Enable using the --enable-dnssec configuration
1685          option.
1686        - IPv6 enabled by default.  Disable using the --disable-ipv6
1687          configuration option.
1688
1689BUG FIXES:
1690        - Bug #47: Domain name is now logged when a notify is
1691          received.
1692        - Bug #70: First include all A records in the additional
1693          section, followed by AAAA records.
1694        - Bug #77: Check length of domain name and label.
1695        - LOC records are supported again.
1696
16971.4.0-alpha1
1698=============
1699FEATURES:
1700        - New database format that is much more compact and portable
1701          across architectures.
1702        - The new zone compiler is now the default and the old zone
1703          compiler has been removed.
1704        - Name compression is done dynamically, removing one other
1705          difference with BIND in the responses generated (the full
1706          query name is now used for compression).
1707        - CNAME target records are now generated from wildcard
1708          records if necessary.
1709
1710REGRESSIONS:
1711        - mmap(2) isn't currently supported.
1712        - Not all RR types are supported by zonec (such as LOC).
1713
17141.3.0-alpha1
1715=============
1716FEATURES:
1717        - New name lookup algorithm.  This required a change to the
1718          database format.  Performance should increase at the expense
1719          of database size and memory usage.
1720        - New zone compiler (zonec2) based on flex and yacc, fully RFC
1721          compliant (still in alpha).
1722        - Database can be loaded using mmap(2) (use the --enable-mmap
1723          configure option to enable).  This is useful on operating
1724          systems such as Solaris that do not allow memory overcommit.
1725        - Region based memory allocation and resource management.
1726        - New internal format for storing domain names.  Each dname
1727          now includes an array of label offsets within the domain
1728          name.
1729        - Updates to the plugin API.
1730
1731BUG FIXES:
1732        - Bug #65: The syslog facility is now a compile time option
1733          (--with-facility=FACILITY).  The default facility is DAEMON.
1734        - Bug #66: Automatic periodic dumping of the statistics (using
1735          the -s option) is now continued after a database reload.
1736
17371.2.4
1738=============
1739BUG FIXES:
1740        - Bug #72: If an RRset for a child domain is defined before
1741          the RRset of the parent domain the parent's RRset would be
1742          "lost".

1750          the -s option) is now continued after a database reload.
1751        - NSD would try to kill pid -1 on startup if forking of a child
1752          process failed.
1753        - Do not log EAGAIN errors on calls to recvfrom.  These errors
1754          should be harmless.

17561.2.2
1757=============
1758BUG FIXES:
1759        - Bug #59: NSD returns FORMERR when the query name is >= 246
1760          bytes.
1761        - Bug #60: Zonec runs out of file descriptors with many zones.
1762        - Bug #61: nsdc uses /bin/sh hardwired (and should not).
1763        - Bug #62: NSD is not able to log to a file.
1764        - Bug #63: nsdc update and zonec are too talkative.
1765        - Bug #64: Answer for request of a host resolved by a
1766          wildcard-resource-record is not understandable by dig.

17681.2.1
1769=============
1770BUG FIXES:
1771        - AXFR terminates early if a zone contains a CNAME pointing
1772          the the zone's domain name (SOA record) (bug #56).
1773        - During an AXFR memory above the top of the stack was
1774          accessed.  This could lead to occasional AXFR errors (bad
1775          packets).
1776        - NSD now prints its version number and exits when invoked
1777          with the -v flag (bug #57).
1778        - NSD prints help information and exits when invoked with the
1779          -h flag.
1780
17811.2.0
1782=============
1783FEATURES:
1784        - NSD is now a single parent process (handling child
1785          termination and database reloads) plus multiple UDP and TCP
1786          child processes handling queries.  Before the parent process
1787          also handled UDP queries.  This change simplifies the parent
1788          and child processes and allows the use of multiple
1789          concurrent UDP servers.
1790        - Experimental plugin support.  This required a minor,
1791          incompatible change to the database format.  Make sure you
1792          recompile your database.  Use --enable-plugins to enable.
1793        - Full IPv6 support (for multi-homing and for Linux, thanks to
1794          Colm MacCárthaigh and Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino).  Use
1795          --enable-ipv6 to enable.
1796        - Support for multi-homing with TCP connections.
1797        - Support for SunOS 4.x has been dropped.
1798
1799CODE CHANGES:
1800        - NSD should now conform to the Single Unix Specification
1801          (http://www.unix.org/).
1802        - Const correctness for strings and some other data types.
1803        - Removed code for Berkeley DB, hash tables, and mmap(2).
1804        - Separate preprocessor flags from code flags (CPPFLAGS and
1805          CFLAGS).
1806        - Use uint8_t instead of u_char, uint{16,32}_t instead of
1807          u_int{16,32}_t.
1808        - Fixed warnings from mixing signed and unsigned types.
1809        - Use sigaction(2) instead of signal(2).
1810        - The query_process function has been split up for clarity.
1811

1815          HP-UX, and MacOS X (thanks to Ronald van der Pol).
1816        - Removed compile time limit on maximum number of TCP child
1817          servers.
1818        - Support for debugging UDP and TCP queries.
1819        - Always ensure there is enough room for the EDNS record when
1820          answering a query with EDNS enabled.

1893=============
1894
1895KNOWN BUGS:
1896
1897- Although NSD allows one to configure a zone without SOA record and
1898  use it as so called ``cached'' non-authoritative data, it is decided
1899  that having this functionality is wrong, dangerous and will be removed
1900  from the further versions.
1901
1902- If while processing EDNS(0) OPT record NSD encounters bad EDNS(0)
1903  version it will answer with Format Error instead of EDNS(0) BADVERS
