1NSD RELEASE NOTES
2
34.1.27
4================
5FEATURES:
6	- Deny ANY with only one RR in response, by default.  Patch from
7	  Daisuke Higashi.  The deny-any statement in nsd.conf sets ANY
8	  queries over UDP to be further moved to TCP as well.
9	  Also no additional section processig for type ANY, reducing
10	  the response size.
11	- Fix #4215: on-the-fly change of TSIG keys with patch from Igor, adds
12	  nsd-control print_tsig, update_tsig, add_tsig, assoc_tsig
13	  and del_tsig.  These changes are gone after reload, edit the
14	  config file (or a file included from it) to make changes that
15	  last after restart.
16BUG FIXES:
17	- Fix #4213: disable-ipv6 and dnstap compile error.
18	- Fix to reduce region_log_stats if condition, this removes a
19	  debug statement.
20        - Fix for FreeBSD port with dnstap enabled.
21	- Fix to remove unused code.
22	- Fix #6: nsd-control-setup: Change validity time to a shorter
23	  period (<2038).
24	- Fix unused definition in header remote.h.
25	- Fix #4236: IPV4_MINIMAL_RESPONSE_SIZE=1480 is slightly too big.
26	- Fix #4235: IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT on IPv4/UDP sockets.
27	- Fixed radtree_insert memory leak.
28	- Fixed access recycled variable.
29
30
314.1.26
32================
33FEATURES:
34	- DNSTAP support for NSD, --enable-dnstap and then config in nsd.conf.
35	- Support SO_REUSEPORT_LB in FreeBSD 12 with the reuseport: yes
36	  option in nsd.conf.
37	- Added nsd-control changezone.  nsd-control changezone name pattern
38	  allows the change of a zone pattern option without downtime for
39	  the zone, in one operation.
40BUG FIXES:
41	- Fix #4194: Zone file parser derailed by non-FQDN names in RHS of
42	  DNSSEC RRs.
43	- Fix #4202: nsd-control delzone incorrect exit code on error.
44	- Tab style fix to use tab for 8 spaces, from Xiaobo Liu.
45	- Fix #4205: enable-recvmmsg in mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment fails.
46	  This sets the msg_hdr.msg_namelen correctly after receipt.
47	- Fix to not set GLOB_NOSORT so the nsd.conf include: files are
48	  sorted and in a predictable order.
49	- Fix #3433: document that reconfig does not change per-zone stats.
50
51

66	- Fix initialisation in remote.c.
67	- please clang analyzer and fix parse of IPSECKEY with bad gateway.
68	- Fix nsd-checkconf fail on bad zone name.
69	- Annotate exit functions with noreturn.
70	- Remove unused if clause during server service startup.
71	- Fix #4156: Fix systemd service manager state change notification
72	  When it is compiled, systemd readiness signalling is enabled.

764.1.24
77================
78FEATURES:
79	- #4102: control interface via local socket.
80	  configure it with control-interface: "/path/nsd.ctl"  The path
81	  has to start with a / to separate it from an IP address.
82	  The local socket does not use SSL, but unencrypted traffic, use
83	  file and containing directory permissions to restrict access.
84	- configure --enable-systemd (needs pkg-config and libsystemd) can
85	  be used to then use-systemd: yes in nsd.conf and have readiness

88BUG FIXES:
89	- Patch to fix openwrt for mac os build darwin detection in configure.

93	  unsigned long to unsigned (remote.c).
94	- Fix that type CAA (and URI) in the zone file can contain
95	  dots when not in quotes.
96	- #4133: Fix that when IXFR contains a zone with broken NSEC3PARAM
97	  chain, NSD leniently attempts to find a working NSEC3PARAM.

490	- Fix #564: add nsd-checkzone tool to check zonefile correctness.
491	- Increased default --with-max-ips from 8 to 16, this increases the
492	  number of interfaces you can specify in nsd.conf to listen to.
493BUG FIXES:
494	- Fixed shutdown message sporadically not printed on exit
495	  (Thanks Anand Buddhdev).
496	- Documented zonefile %s syntax in nsd.conf man page.
497	- Fix manpage to put colon after zonefiles check and write.
498	- Change from 'Zone" to "zone" with ".. serial .. is updated" log
499	  message.
500	- Changed maxbackoff for no-content secondary zones from 4h to 24h.
501	- Fix print filename of encompassing config file on read failure.
502	- Fix delete or rename of a lot of zones and make it take a
503	  non-enormous time.
504	- Speed up deletion of zone contents a lot, (56s to 1s), speeds up
505	  delete, rename and AXFR for zones.
506	- Fix #571: unused variable and incompatible pointer warnings when
507	  compiled on a system without INET6.
508	- Fix write_socket return value check in server.c (Thanks Brad Smith,
509	  Mark Kettenis).
510	- Fix that xfrd reaps children also if the signal is lost.
511	- Fix #577: makefile incorrectly installed manpages from srcdir.
512	- Fix #587: Default value for statistics is 0.
513	- Fix #553: Improve TXT parsing.
514	- Fix #590: rrl log does not print wildcard as a star but escaped.
515	- Fix #591: rrl log messages at verbosity level 1.
516	- fix strptime implicit declaration error on OpenBSD.
517	- Fix -O3 compile flag to -O2 to avoid miscompilations.
518	- Allow user to override the -g -O2 CFLAGS in ./configure.
519	- Fix endian.h include for OpenBSD.
520	- Fix #600: document that provide-xfr provides AXFR and not IXFR.
521	- Fix rising-load-average or memory-leaks in OSes (Linux since 2.6),
522	  that keep track of all past process parents, or leak memory
523	  for them.  Fix makes it so there is no very deep string of
524	  process parents.
525	- Remove .LP after .SH in man pages.
526
527
5284.0.3
529================
530BUG FIXES:
531	- Fix nsd.db unclean close check.  Previous databases are considered
532	  unclean by the code and are created anew.
533	- Adds nsd.db larger than 400Tb check for sanity. Also test if
534	  filesize as documented in the file is correct.
535	- nsd waits for tasks to complete on stop, prevents nsd.db corruption.
536	- fix to not delete tmpdir too early in shutdown process.
537	- disabled udb checking functionality that made it very slow,
538	  this was enabled when enable-checking was turned on.
539
540
5414.0.2
542================
543FEATURES:
544	- Return REFUSED for queries to non-hosted zones.
545
546BUG FIXES:
547	- Fix expired zones to give SERVFAIL, also when parent zone loaded.
548	- documented nsd-control zonestatus output in nsd-control manpage.
549	- remove mention of nsdc from nsd-checkconf manpage.
550	- Disabled recvmmsg and sendmmsg usage by default because kernel
551	  versions have implementation issues: ipv6 ignored, security issues.
552	- Detect libevent2 install automatically by configure, and use
553	  event2 header files if necessary.
554	- Fix #551: change Regent to Copyright holder in the LICENSE,
555	  to match the definition on opensource.org for the BSD License.
556	- Fix #552: zonefile loads on nsd-control reconfig when the name
557	  of the file has changed.
558	- Fix leak of zone name after zonefile read and fix malloc too
559	  large that would be leaked in the radix tree.
560	- Fix from 3.2: make SOA RDATA comparisons in XFR more lenient (only
561	  check serial).
562	- Fix that NSD will delete and recreate not-clean-closed databases.
563
564
5654.0.1
566================
567FEATURES:
568	- recognizes ip-address and interface as synonyms for convenience.
569	- Support for EUI48 and EUI64 RR types enabled by default (RFC 7043).
570	- Support for CAA RRtype (RFC 6844).
571	- NSID can be set with "ascii_somestring" in ascii.
572
573BUG FIXES:
574	- Fix xfrd when zone transfer TCP contains zero length packets.
575	- Fix for NSEC3 zones where parent zone is co-hosted, also NSEC3,
576	  because AXFRs overwrote nsec3 administration in the child zone.
577   	- Fix that bad IXFR updates do not result in double SOA records,
578	  and that an AXFR is started (attempted) when the zone state seems
579	  to be inconsistent with the master's zone state.
580	- Log ip address for sendto and sendmmsg failures.
581	- Fix segfaults after read of zones with rr type WKS from zonefile.
582	- Seed PRNG for openssl at start of daemon, fixes SSL connection issue.
583	- Bugfix #534: IXFR query loop over UDP for zones that are unchanged.
584	- (same as in 3.2.16): fix wildcard cname to nxdomain repeated rrset.
585	- (same as in 3.2.16): Bugfix #542: Match RRSIG TTL with SOA TTL in
586	  negative response.
587	- Check if configure in srcdir collides with outofdir build.
588	- Fix #546:  output format errors in nsd_munin_ (Thanks Tom Hendrikx).
589	- Fix printout of high-chars in TXT on NetBSD.
590
5914.0.0	NSD 4.0
592===============
593FEATURES:
594	- documented in doc/NSD-4-features. Change configuration without
595	  restart, direct nameserver control with nsd-control, support a
596	  higher number of zones. Higher performance (compared to NSD3).
597	- nsdc is gone. Use kill -HUP for reload (also checks if zonefiles
598	  have changed and rereads them), and kill -TERM for quit. Or use
599	  nsd-control for detailed control.
600	- cron job for nsdcpatch is gone. nsd-control write creates zonefiles.
601	- nsd.db has a new format that compacts itself when it is changed,
602	  thus nsdc patch is no longer necessary.
603	- nsd.db is memory mapped, NSD needs (part of) that mmap in ram.
604	- tcp-count can go above 1000; epoll/kqueue support with libevent.
605	- nsd-control reconfig for updates with no restart (zones, keys, ..)
606	- nsd-control-setup to create keys for nsd-control (enable nsd-control
607	  with remote-control: yes in nsd.conf).
608	- the NSD 3 feature of special zone stats are not ported to 4 yet,
609	  as it would entail a complete reimplementation of the feature.
610FEATURES (incremental from BETA5):
611	- configure --disable-recvmmsg for compat with older Linux kernels,
612	  by default it autodetects support in the kernel on the buildmachine.
613	- Fix time at 2038, uint32s changed to time_t, support 64bit time_t.
614	- Fix use of 32bit time, for 2038, thanks to Theo de Raadt for patch.
615BUG FIXES (incremental from BETA5):
616	- Bugfix #518 Incorrect RRL prefix length option names in nsd.conf
617	  man page from Ville Mattila.
618	- Fix that xfrd, and nsd-control, does not stop responding when reload
619	  errors out. The pid is sent like it should by server_main.
620	- Fix that EOF in quoted string error does not cause reload to exit.
621	- Fixup errors from the stack code checker.
622	- Removed use of random when arc4random is available. Thus, random
623	  and srandom are then not linked with the executable.
624	- Fix segfault with no logfile and chroot (Thanks Patrik Lundin).
625
6264.0.0b5   BETA 5 release of NSD 4.0
627==================================
628FEATURES:
629	- Optimizations for startup, qps and tcp speed, beta bug fixes and
630	  merge with code changes with NSD 3.2.16.
631	- nsd-mem tool (make nsd-mem) to estimate memory usage.
632	- Same as NSD 3.2.16: --enable-draft-rrtypes(EUI48, EUI64), rr-slip,
633	  rrl-ipv[46]-prefix-length, ip-transparent config options.
634	- configure option --disable-flto.
635	- improved RRL logging (query details that caused blockage).
636	- nsd-control status prints out ratelimit if ratelimit is enabled.
637	- nsd-control verbosity prints out verbosity level without argument.
638	- Fix #491: pick program name (of executable) as syslog identity.
639	- printout percentage for long activities (to log).  After about 5
640	  seconds have passed.
641BUG FIXES:
642	- The same fixes up to NSD 3.2.16.
643	- Fix that old zonefile does not override newer AXFR for slave zones.
644	- Nicer printout of notify.
645	- Fix tcp zonetransfer pipeline lookup function.
646	- Fix compile on bigendian netbsd alpha.
647	- Fixup the growth and shrinkage of nsd.db.  This should use less
648	  calls to remap and change the file and mmap size.
649	- notify information is logged at correct verbosity level, 1.
650	- Fix memory statistics in nsd_munin_.
651	- faster nsec3 updates.
652	- Fixup contrib/bug390.patch for 4.0.0b4.
653	- remove leak of nsec3.
654	- allocate radixtree in region for small (5%) total savings and
655	  about 15% savings in the radixtree itself (due to many small alloc
656	  savings in region).
657	- Patch from Lukas Wunner that makes nsd.conf include files work
658	  inside chroot/etc environments on repattern and reconfig.
659	- Fix race on exit of nsd, for restarts, so that the pidfile-pid
660	  process waits until port53 has been closed before exiting.
661	- Patch from Lukas Wunner that makes chroot more consistent.
662	  Make all paths absolute with the chrootdir in front, or use
663	  an absolute zonesdir with other paths relative to that.
664	- Fix segfault on repeated reconfigs, double free of zone apex name.
665	- Fix zone parser allocations are put in the db region.
666	- Fix memory leak in zone parser for txt record.
667	- Optimizations: -O3 if possible (user can override CFLAGS), udp
668	  buffers are set to 1m by default (if socket options exist),
669	  use recvmmsg and sendmmsg, or only recvmmsg, or recvfrom.
670	- nsd.db 12% smaller, no nsec3 hash storage.  Also ups udb version
671	  because of the format change.  The nsd.db is recreated when a
672	  different version number is detected on startup.
673	- Fix region-allocator for speedup of load and change of large data.
674	- Increase tcpbacklog default to 256 (silently capped to 128 on BSD).
675	  For remote control keep it at 16, it has less TCP load.
676	  It does not actually increase TCP performance (some except), but
677	  reduces connection loss when there is a spike in TCP connections.
678	- unlink xfr file if transfer is stopped, timeouted or interrupted.
679	  And unlink xfr file in progress when the zone is deleted.
680
6814.0.0b4   BETA 4 release of NSD 4.0
682==================================
683BUG FIXES:
684	- remove -fwhole-program gcc flag usage.  We cannot reliably detect
685	  if it works without failure.
686	- fix zonefiles-check: entry in nsd.conf
687	- fix gcc warning, do not use uninit value for rng init.
688	- remove printout of "bad transfer" to the log for notimpl.
689	- printout log less verbosely, not every axfr packet.
690	- RRL documented in nsd.conf.sample
691	- Fix is_apex flag for zones read from udb.
692	- Fix that nsec3 zones are precompiled when read from udb.  This
693	  caused assertion failures.
694	- Less printout of 'bad transfer'.
695	- Fix AXFR of NSEC3 slave zone.
696	- Fix that old zonefile does not override newer AXFR for slave zones.
697	- Nicer printout of notify on verbosity 2.
698
6994.0.0b3   BETA 3 release of NSD 4.0
700==================================
701BUG FIXES:
702	- applied patch from Robin Hack to remove double pid file truncation.
703	- repattern is called reconfig (because most config options are
704	  picked up, except for superuser options (chroot, logfile, port))
705	- document that the zonefile attribute can be empty.
706	- documented that the _implicit_ pattern names are used internally.
707	- Added zonefiles-check option, default yes, check mtimes of zone files
708	  on sighup and startup (from Robin Hack).
709	- Fix spurious assertion failure for some rrl blocks.
710	- Tabs and spaces nicer in nsd.conf.sample.
711	- List libevent in README.
712	- Fix configure for gentoo gcc and headers.
713	- do-ip4 and do-ip6 nsd.conf options just like unbound.
714	- do not leave task files in /tmp if nsd fails to startup because
715	  of file permissions.
716	- create xfrdir on make install (does not remove on make uninstall,
717	  because this could be /tmp).
718	- Fix segv if xfrdir does not exit.
719	- log ip address with tcp failure.
720	- Fix time calculation of zone transfer.
721
7224.0.0b2   BETA 2 release of NSD 4.0
723==================================
724FEATURES:
725	- Add and remove zones from nsd.conf with nsd-control repattern.
726	- Merge changes from 3.2.15 (such as xname-rcode fix).
727
728BUG FIXES:
729	- Fix for use with libev.
730	- 'nsd-control start' runs an absolute path to start sbin/nsd.
731	- Fix for use with libevent-2.1.2.
732	- --with-logfile sets the logfile inside the example documentation.
733	- Fixed addzone and delzone inside chroot (thanks Will Pressly).
734	- Fix make outside of source directory.
735
7364.0.0b1   BETA 1 release of NSD 4.0
737==================================
738FEATURES:
739	- add and remove zones without restart.
740	- nsdc is gone, use nsd-control for direct server control.
741	- performance increases
742	- support lots of zones
743	- and more ...
744	- longer desc in doc/NSD-4-features
745
746BUG FIXES:
747	- core code is fixed like 3.2.15r3763 (12 dec 2012).
748
749
7503.2.16 (development branch)
751=================================
752
753FEATURES:
754	- New config option "ip-transparent:" to allow NSD to bind to
755	  non local addresses. Default no.
756	- Use IPV6 minimum MTU settings with TCP to reduce failures that
757	  are caused by delays in learning working PMTU when communicating
758	  through a tunnel.
759	- Bugfix #496: Support for EUI48 and EUI64 RR types. Experimental,
760	  turned off by default. Enable with --enable-draft-rrtypes.
761	- New config option "rrl-slip:" to set the average number of
762	  packets discarded before we send back a truncated response.
763	- New config option "rrl-ipv4-prefix-length:" and
764	  "rrl-ipv6-prefix-length:" to set the prefix lengths.
765	- Improved RRL logging, also print triggering query src address and
766	  QTYPE.
767	- Provide RRL documentation in nsd.conf.sample.
768
769BUG FIXES:
770	- Bugfix #357: Parent process waits until children closed down
771	  sockets, to prevent NSD failing to bind to sockets when restarting.
772	- Bugfix #487: lookup3.c determine endianness for BSD systems.
773	- Bugfix #491: pick program name (0th argument) as syslog identity.
774	- Bugfix #494: Exit with return code 1 if socket code fails.
775	- RRtypes ASFDB, RP, RT should not compress dnames.
776	- Fix outgoing-interface: Don't fail if family is IPv6 but
777	  only IPv4 outgoing-interface is set, or vice versa.
778	- RRtypes ASFDB, RP, RT should not compress dnames.
779	- Check that zone directory is within chroot directory.
780	- Better XFR checking, fallback to AXFR (if allowed) if three
781	  malformed XFR packets have been seen.
782
783
7843.2.15
785=================================
786
787FEATURES:
788	- Support for ILNP RR types: NID, L32, L64, LP (RFC6742).
789	- RRL, --enable-ratelimit at configure time and config options.
790	- TSIG initialization only fails when there is no digest found
791	  at all.
792
793BUG FIXES:
794	- Bugfix #478: Declaration after statement (for gcc 2.95).
795	- Bugfix #483: Better error message in case of TSIG error.
796	- Bugfix #485: TTL should not be greater than 2^31 - 1.
797	- Fix RCODE when CNAME loop final answer does not exist, should
798	  return NXDOMAIN as stated by RFC 6604.
799	- Fix --disable-full-prehash bug, where after multiple incoming
800	  IXFRs, NSEC3 can be removed unjustified.
801
8023.2.14
803================
804
805FEATURES:
806	- TCP writev support.
807
808BUG FIXES:
809	- Fix build on OpenBSD (thanks Oliver Peter).
810	- Prioritize notify sender for requesting XFR (thanks Ilya Bakulin).
811	- Fix crash in zonec if TXT string too long  (thanks Ilya Bakulin).
812	- tzset before chroot for correct timezone (thanks Camiel Dobbelaar).
813	- Fix --disable-full-prehash bug when nsdc patch happens while ixfr too,
814	  it did not rehash the new database.
815	- Bugfix #464: Conditionally define MAXHOSTNAMELEN.
816
8173.2.13
818================
819
820BUG FIXES:
821	- Fix for nsd-patch segfault if zone has been removed from nsd.conf
822	  (thanks Ilya Bakulin).
823	- Bugfix #460: man page correction - identity.
824	- Bugfix #461: NSD child segfaults when asked for out-of-zone data
825	  with --enable-zone-stats. [VU#517036 CVE-2012-2979]
826
827
8283.2.12
829================
830
831BUG FIXES:
832	- Fix for VU#624931 CVE-2012-2978: NSD denial of service
833	  vulnerability from non-standard DNS packet from any host
834	  on the internet.
835	  http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/CVE-2012-2978.txt
836
837
8383.2.11
839================
840
841FEATURES:
842	- Fallback to AXFR if IXFR is unknown at the primary. NSD considers
843	  IXFR unknown at the primary if there is a negative response for the
844	  IXFR RRtype. This does not override the value for
845	  'allow-axfr-fallback'.
846	- Allow for reading in new DNSKEY algorithm mnemonics (RFC5155,
847	  RFC5702, RFC5933, and RFC6605 (ECDSA)).
848	- Zone statistics, enable with --enable-zone-stats. This stores the
849	  BIND8 stats per zone in a configurable statistics file. This option
850	  does not scale and should therefore not be enabled when serving
851	  many zones.
852	- Support for TLSA RRtype (DANE).
853
854BUG FIXES:
855	- Fix for qtype ANY for a wildcard domain in NSEC signed zone: Don't
856	  add the wildcard domain NSEC into the answer section. Instead,
857	  put the wildcard expanded NSEC into the answer section and keep the
858	  wildcard domain NSEC in the authority section.
859	- Fix for accept spinning reported by OpenBSD.
860	- Fix restart failed due to bad ixfr packet because of zone removed
861	  from nsd.conf.
862	- Bugfix #453: typo in nsdc man page.
863
864OPERATIONAL NOTES:
865	- NSD uses the query name for dname compression again (Fix #235
866	  had as side effect that this didn't happen anymore and is hereby
867	  undone).
868
869
8703.2.10
871================
872
873BUG FIXES:
874	- Bugfix #421: Truncate pidfile on shutdown, before unlink.
875	- Bugfix #423: Fix slow zone transfer processing due to
876	  'Fix is_existing flag for ENT' bugfix.
877	- Fix bug #430: segfault when MAX_INTERFACES set to more than 65K.
878	- Fix configure.ac strptime check for gcc 4.6.2, acx_nlnetlabs update.
879
880
8813.2.9
882================
883
884FEATURES:
885	- Minimize responses to reduce truncation: NSD will only add optional
886	  records to the authority and additional sections when the response
887	  size does not exceed the minimal response size.
888
889	  The minimal response size is 512 (no-EDNS), 1480 (EDNS/IPv4),
890	  1220 (EDNS/IPv6), or the advertized EDNS buffer size if that is
891	  smaller than the EDNS default.
892
893	  The feature is enabled by default. You can disable it by configuring
894	  NSD with --disable-minimal-responses.
895
896	- Less NSEC3 prehashing. This will make NSD handle zone transfers
897	  faster, but will decrease the performance of NXDOMAIN and wildcard
898	  NODATA responses. Full prehashing is enabled by default. If you want
899	  less NSEC3 prehashing, configure NSD with --disable-full-prehash.
900	  Thanks Secure64 for the patch.
901
902BUG FIXES:
903	- Bugfix #302: nsd accepts XFR but refuses to re-read the slave zone.
904	- Bugfix #365: set patch style and zonec verbose for nsdc.
905	- First step of bug #369: RRSIG DNSKEY sets zone to be treated DNSSEC.
906	- Bugfix #375: typos in nsd.conf.5.
907	- Bugfix #381: Binary escaped and transfers.
908	- Bugfix #397: Don't allow relative domain names as origin in $INCLUDE
909	  directives.
910	- Fix printout of IPSECKEY by nsd-patch.
911	- Fix is_existing flag for ENT when domain that has a shared ENT
912	  is deleted by IXFR. (ENT == Empty Non-Terminal)
913	- Fix bug if the zonefile is changed for a secondary but stored
914	  transfers are applied, and stop it from applying ixfr to empty zone.
915	  The zone is flagged with error and AXFR-ed.
916	- Fix to have no authority NS set processing for CNAMEs.
917	- Fix nsd-checkconf to check tsig algorithms properly.
918	- Set the AA bit on responses that have an authoritative CNAME.
919	- Fix denial of existence response for empty non-terminal that looks
920	  like a NSEC3-only domain (but has data below it).
921
922OPERATIONAL NOTES:
923	- nsd.db version number increased because NSD 3.2.7 and earlier
924	  zonec is not compatible due to the TXT strings change. Please
925	  run nsdc rebuild before running NSD 3.2.9 and later versions.
926
927
9283.2.8
929=============
930
931BUG FIXES:
932	- Do setusercontext() before chroot(), otherwise login.conf etc. are
933	  required inside chroot.
934	- Bugfix #216: Fix leak of compressiontable when the domain table increases

9813.2.5
982=============
983BUG FIXES:

1038BUG FIXES:
1039	- Off-by-one buffer overflow fix while processing the QUESTION section.
1040	- Return BADVERS when NSD does not implement the VERSION level of the
1041	  request, instead of 0x1<FORMERR>.
1042	- Bugfix #234.
1043	- Bugfix #235.
1044	- Reset 'error occurred' after notifying an error occurred at the $TTL or
1045		$ORIGIN directive (Otherwise, the whole zone is skipped because the
1046		error is reset after reading the SOA).
1047	- Minor bugfixes.
1048
10493.2.1
1050=============
1051OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1052	- NSD will now fallback to AXFR, only if the master does not support IXFR.
1053	- You can adjust nsdc patch to skip textfile patching. This will
1054	  increase the patching process, but will not output to zonefiles
1055	  anymore. By default, this is off.
1056
1057BUG FIXES:
1058	- When configuring, don't do strptime test when cross-compiling.
1059	- Bug #230: Output non-error messages to stdout.
1060	- Better error message when ixfr.db old file format is read.
1061	- Bug #218: shared UDP query for all interfaces.
1062	- Bug #222: Remove bashism from nsdc script.
1063	- Nicer check for SHA-256 functionality.
1064	- Fixed some minor memory leaks that occurred on reload.
1065	- nsdc: check if a lockfile has not gone stale, when lock failed.
1066	- Bugfix strptime compatibility function
1067
1068FEATURES:
1069	- New configuration option 'allow-afxr-fallback', "yes" by default. If
1070		set to "no", NSD will never do AXFR fallback, even if the master
1071		does not support IXFR.
1072	- Allow file rotation on nsd.log.
1073	- The new nsd-patch options -s and -o allows you to skip writing
1074		zonefiles and store the output directly to a database file,
1075		respectively.
1076
10773.2.0
1078=============
1079OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1080	- Format of ixfr.db has changed. When you are planning an upgrade to the
1081	  new NSD release, make sure to process the old ixfr.db before starting
1082	  the new release (by running nsdc patch).
1083	- IXFR is transmitted over TCP by default instead of UDP. If you want to
1084	  continue the use of IXFR/UDP, please modify your zone configuration
1085	  file to:
1086		request-xfr: UDP 1.2.3.4 tsigkey
1087	  We strongly recommend to enable TSIG if you send IXFR over UDP.
1088	  When all masters fail to transmit IXFR/UDP, slave will fallback to
1089		IXFR/TCP and eventually AXFR/TCP.
1090	- nsd-patch prints errors to stderr instead of stdout.
1091
1092BUG FIXES:
1093	- Only normalize dnames in rdatas when rrtype is listed in RFC 4034,
1094	  section 6.2: Canonical RR Form, following
1095	  draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-bis-updates (affects RRSIG and NSEC records).
1096	- Typo in zonec manpage.
1097	- Bugfix in log_finalize.
1098	- Fix race condition between nsdc patch and server reload.
1099
1100FEATURES:
1101	- AXFR/TCP fallback in case of failing IXFR zone transfers.
1102	- RFC 4635: support for hmac-sha1 and hmac-sha256 TSIG algorithm
1103		identifiers, "Bugfix #130".
1104	- Configure the source ip-address for notifies (master) and zone
1105		requests (slave) in nsd.conf, "Bugfix #148".
1106	- nsd-notify and nsd-xfer allow you to configure the outgoing
1107		hostname and source port, in addition to the source address.
1108	- Additional debug and verbose log messages.
1109
11103.1.1
1111=============
1112BUG FIXES:
1113	- Try to avoid race conditions with NSD reloading and nsdc running,
1114		by writing pidfile before closing old parent process.
1115	- Fixed NSEC3 memory leak in the case NSEC3 is not needed.
1116	- Fixed some memory leaks that happened on error, mostly on
1117		zone transfer errors.
1118	- Bugfix #191: nsd-checkconf allowed only (max_interfaces-1) interfaces.
1119
1120FEATURES:
1121	- The number of maximum interfaces allowed is configurable with
1122		--with-max_interfaces=<number> (thanks John Lightsey).
1123
11243.1.0
1125=============
1126OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1127	- Default locations of nsd.db, ixfr.db & xfrd.state are changed to
1128          the /var/db/nsd directory.
1129
1130BUG FIXES:
1131	- Zone compiler gives more sane error messages when out of
1132	  diskspace and bug #172: when compiling single zone file.
1133	- Changed man pages format from mdoc to mansun, to support the Solaris OS.
1134	- Log tcp read error only when connection not reset by peer or when
1135	  verbosity level is high.
1136	- RRs are compared without checking the TTL value.
1137
1138FEATURES:
1139	- NSD is now NSEC3 enabled by default. You can disable it by configuring
1140		NSD with --disable-nsec3.
1141	- Added "hide-version" configuration setting. Enabling this feature
1142		stops NSD from answering to CHAOS class version requests.
1143	- Added bind2nsd 0.5.0 (http://bind2nsd.sourceforge.net) in contrib/.
1144	- Report source and zone for denied AXFR attempts.
1145
11463.0.8
1147=============
1148FEATURES:
1149	- Better logging for nsd-notify (show 'broken' zone)
1150	- Add configuration for chkconfig to control nsd service.
1151
1152BUG FIXES:
1153	- Fixed nsdc start when nsd already running: do not initialize server,
1154		since it is already running.
1155	- Fixup bug where data related files are looked up in the wrong
1156	  directory when chrooted with chrootdir ending with a slash.
1157	- Fixup bug where nsd would return FORMERR if received an edns
1158	  query with version set to zero and rdlen larger than zero.
1159	- Fixed strptime, so that zonec will also work on systems with broken
1160		strptime (like leopard :-))
1161	- Do not answer nsec3 wildcard information when DO bit is not set
1162	- Better logging when creating database failed.
1163	- Various spelling errors
1164
11653.0.7
1166=============
1167BUG FIXES:
1168	- Error handling for malformed IXFRs improved.
1169	- Fixed man pages, consistent syntax.
1170
11713.0.6
1172=============
1173FEATURES:
1174	- Report source and zone for denied AXFR attempts.
1175
1176BUG FIXES:
1177	- More elegant handling of malformed nsec3 records from a zone
1178	  transfer.
1179	- Fixup ignored return value in region-allocator.
1180        - Added bind2nsd 0.5.0 (http://bind2nsd.sourceforge.net) in contrib/.
1181
11823.0.5
1183=============
1184BUG FIXES:
1185	- Fixed problem with reload waiting very long. If the OS has a
1186	  raging herd problem, NSD could block in a UDP operation and
1187	  that process would stop reload from finishing. Made UDP sockets
1188	  nonblocking.
1189	- Made TCP listen sockets nonblocking. NSD could block in accept.
1190	- Handle the new CERT RDATA types defined in RFC 4398 (submitted by
1191	  Mans Nilsson).
1192	- Fixed a bug where zonec would choke on unknown CERT RDATA types.
1193	- Change nsd-notify retry timer from linear into exponential
1194	  backoff (submitted by Mans Nilsson).
1195	- Debug flag (-d) behavior changed. Nsd now also forks children when
1196	  run in debug mode.
1197	- Added verbosity mode (-V <level>) for extra operational logging.
1198	- zonesdir default is /etc/nsd.  This can be overridden in nsd.conf.
1199	- if clients drop the tcp connection this does not result in a logfile
1200	  entry, unless verbosity is set 2 or more.
1201
12023.0.4
1203=============
1204BUG FIXES:
1205	- zonec will print an error when other data is put next to a CNAME.
1206	- Fixup unaligned memory access that could occur when reading ixfr.db
1207	  with a partial transfer inside.
1208	- Fixup for the WKS RR type printout by nsd-patch and nsd-xfer.
1209	- Error message 'could not read database CRC' now only given on error.
1210	- ./configure --zonesdir=<directory for zone files> now works to
1211	  set a default value for the zonesdir: <dir> nsd.conf directive.
1212	  Set zonesdir: "" to disable the change of directory.
1213	- Bug: reload crashes with log message 'continuing with old database',
1214	  and after that no more zone updates. Manual fix is to kill -HUP,
1215	  but now fixed in software to try to reload again (and again).
1216	- Small speedup where xfrd could briefly be busy-waiting.
1217	- If master sends IXFR with glue that is already present in the zone
1218	  this is silently accepted. Printed in debug mode -L 2. To make
1219	  the log file smaller.
1220	- Exponential backoff for zones that never worked to max of 4 hours.
1221	  For expired zones the SOA retry values are used.
1222	- allow-notify acl entries 'NOKEY' match only queries without TSIG.
1223	- Answers to valid notifies contained wrong RR counts in the header.
1224	  The notifies were processed correctly, but now the acknowledgement
1225	  reply is in correct DNS format.
1226FEATURES:
1227	- Added contrib/nsd.zones2nsd.conf python script to convert NSD 2 to
1228	  NSD 3 config files, contributed by Stephane Bortzmeyer.
1229	- The nsdc control script will print 'nsd startup failed' if the nsd
1230	  executable does not start (due to bad permissions, bad config, ...).
1231
12323.0.3
1233=============
1234BUG FIXES:
1235	- Bug #152: NSD would not use the identity from nsd.conf, fixed.
1236	- Bug #153: When running with thousands of secondary zones, NSD would
1237	  run out of UDP sockets. Caused crash on FreeBSD, errors on Linux
1238	  ('out of file descriptors'), depending on ulimits. Fixed.
1239	- Fixed getaddrinfo error message to be more descriptive.
1240	- Fallback to ip4 if getaddrinfo fails for ip6.
1241	- Will no longer lose a notify message during reloads (IPC).
1242	- Will no longer lose transfer in progress when notified for that zone.
1243	- Nicer error when operator forgets to rebuild after deleting a zone.
1244
12453.0.2
1246=============
1247BUG FIXES:
1248	- Nice error from zonec on a wrong configuration zone name.
1249	- Nicer warning from zonec when starting secondary zone with
1250	  no zone file for the first time.
1251	- nsdc makes more portable use of 'which' (for SunOS5.9/bash2.05).
1252	- Bug #143: Improved handling of zonesdir: directive and relative
1253	  pidfile, database, diff file, xfrdfile paths in nsdc.sh and
1254	  nsd-patch. They would not find the files.
1255	- Bug #144: LOC RRtype default values for precision wrong. Fixed.
1256	- Bug #145: NSD failed to reload cases of simultaneous zone transfer.
1257	- Bug #146: NSD fails to write to xfrdfile when chrooted. Fixed.
1258		Also fix for difffile when chrooted.
1259	- Bug #147: NSD runs out of memory. Fixed, memory is reused.
1260	  Occurred when running NSD with very big zones and large updates.
1261	- nsd -L 1 logging is smaller, -L 2 contains all debug information.
1262	  (only available for debug compiles).
1263	- Bug #149: Fixed text for NOTAUTH error code. When notify is not
1264	  authorised REFUSED error code returned instead.
1265
12663.0.1

1283	- prepared for NSEC3 (--enable-nsec3), experimental code for testing
1284	  in workshops.
1285	- prepared for NSID (--enable-nsid), experimental code for testing in
1286	  workshops.
1287
1288OPERATIONAL NOTES:
1289	- config file needed, nsd.conf(5) supersedes nsd.zones and nsdc.conf.
1290	- AXFR transfers are denied by default. Allow in config file.
1291	- Zones only become secondary with "request-xfr:" items in config file.
1292	- NSD produces "ixfr.db" file with a journal of zone transfers.
1293	  Use nsdc patch to merge changes back to zone files and remake db.
1294	- NSD produces "xfrd.state" file with zone timeout information.
1295	  The file is text formatted.
1296	- NSD sends notifies automatically,
1297	  nsd-notify is deprecated and will be removed from the package.
1298	- NSD requests AXFR/IXFR and reloads the updates automatically,
1299	  nsd-xfer is deprecated and will be removed from the package.
1300	- Check your config file with nsd-checkconf.
1301
1302BUG FIXES:

1304	- The sighandler() bug is fixed more thoroughly,
1305	  by using pipes for interprocess communication.
1306	- CNAMEs are followed by the server to different zones and
1307	  information from that zone is returned. This saves a followup
1308	  query.
1309	- bug fixes (ported) 2.3.6.
1310		- nsd-notify will retry max 15 times 5 second retries.

1379        - nsd-xfer.c: Added '-a' option to specify local address to connect
1380          from.  Original patch supplied by Walter Hop <nsd@walter.transip.nl>.
1381        - Bug #98: Allow mnemonics for DS and RRSIG algorithm field.
1382
13832.3.0
1384=============
1385FEATURES:
1386        - DNSSEC is now enabled by default. NSD should be fully
1387          compliant with RFC4033, RFC4034, and RFC4035.
1388
1389BUG FIXES:
1390        - nsd: Ensure that the number of -a flags does not exceed the
1391          maximum specified by MAX_INTERFACES in config.h.
1392        - nsd-xfer: Use serial number arithmetic (RFC1982) for the
1393          zone serial check
1394        - nsdc: Don't pass (fake) serial number to nsd-xfer if the
1395          zone file does not exist.
1396        - zonec: Loading many zones would cause namedb_find_zone to
1397          slow down, performance patch by Kazunori Fujiwara.
1398        - Bug #96: nsd-xfer did not handle 8-bit domain names
1399          correctly.
1400
14012.2.1
1402=============
1403FEATURES:
1404        - The message priority is now included when logging to a file.
1405
1406BUG FIXES:
1407        - Zero length RDATA using the unknown RR notation was not
1408          working (except for the APL RR type).
1409        - Bug #93: './configure' error message containing a comma must
1410          be properly bracketed.
1411        - Bug #94: nsd-xfer: Handle unexpected EOF when receiving AXFR
1412          data.  Timeout if no data is received for more than 120
1413          seconds (see the TCP_TIMEOUT parameter in config.h).
1414        - Bug #95: An owner starting with an asterisk label ("*") was
1415          being treated as its own wildcard child.
1416
14172.2.0
1418=============
1419FEATURES:
1420        - nsd-xfer: replacement program for named-xfer to perform zone
1421          transfers using AXFR. TSIG is supported by nsd-xfer but not
1422          yet by the nsd server. DNSSEC is also supported.  TSIG
1423          requires OpenSSL version 0.9.7 or higher, configure using
1424          --disable-tsig if you do not have OpenSSL installed.
1425          Configure using --with-ssl=path if OpenSSL is not installed
1426          at a standard location.
1427
1428CODE CHANGES:
1429        - New data structure 'buffer_type' for representing binary
1430          buffers that can be read, written, and resized.  Data in
1431          these buffers is stored in network byte order.  This data
1432          structure replaces the iobuf field of 'struct query'.
1433
1434BUG FIXES:
1435        - Fixed endian problem in WKS record.
1436        - Protocol can now be specified numerically in WKS record.
1437        - Allow escape sequences (\DDD) in TTL, RR class, and RR type.
1438        - The zone compiler now accepts many more characters in
1439          unquoted strings such as domain name labels.  The characters
1440          no longer need to be escaped with a backslash.
1441        - Close included files after reading.
1442        - Maximum TCP message size is now 65535 bytes.  AXFR response
1443          packets are still limited to 16383 bytes for optimal
1444          compression of dnames.
1445        - The TSIG key for AXFRs can now also be stored in the file
1446          <zonename>.tsiginfo.  This makes it possible to use TSIG
1447          with multiple master servers.
1448        - Signals are no longer blocked while performing I/O so the
1449          server should respond quicker to signals.
1450        - Fixed parsing of LOC rdata.  Fractions and altitude were not
1451          handled correctly.
1452
14532.1.5
1454=============
1455BUG FIXES:
1456        - Bug #90: handle \000 in TXT records correctly
1457        - Fixed undefined behavior in the use of vsnprintf when
1458          logging messages.  This caused crashes on Linux/PPC.
1459
14602.1.4
1461=============
1462BUG FIXES:
1463        - nsdc: Fixed a typo that caused AXFRs to stop working.
1464
14652.1.3
1466=============
1467FEATURES:
1468        - nsd: The pidfile can be specified using the '-P' option.
1469
1470BUG FIXES:
1471        - Bug #87: allow @ in the rdata
1472        - Bug #88: allow ::FFFF:ipv4addr in AAAA records
1473        - Bug #89: Count the number of queries received over TCP,
1474          instead of the number of TCP connections.
1475        - Zonec: when - is used as input, set the filename to 'STDIN'.
1476        - The nsdc script handles failed AXFRs more gracefully.
1477        - NSD emits an error when it sees bitlabels (RFC 2673).
1478        - Only copy the CD bit when DNSSEC is enabled.
1479
14802.1.2
1481=============
1482FEATURES:
1483        - NSD now fully supports unknown record types using the
1484          notation specified in RFC3597.
1485        - Support for the following RR types has been added: WKS, X25,
1486          ISDN, RT, NSAP, PX, NAPTR, KX, CERT, DNAME, and APL.  DNAME
1487          special processing is not supported.
1488
1489BUG FIXES:
1490        - Bug #84: NSD now uses SIGUSR1 instead of SIGILL to report stats.
1491        - Bug #85: Support for WKS records.
1492        - Bug #86: The characters "#%&^[]?" can now be used without
1493          backslash in zone file domain names.
1494        - Plugin callback return type fixed.
1495        - The maximum message length for IPv6 UDP packets is now
1496          limited to the IPv6 minimum MTU (1280) unless the
1497          IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU socket option is supported.
1498
14992.1.1
1500=============
1501BUG FIXES:
1502        - Bug #81: Handle unknown types correctly.
1503        - Bug #82: Zonec: don't report "0 errors" unless -v is
1504          specified.
1505        - Bug #83: Close zone files after parsing.
1506        - Handle AFSDB RR type.
1507
15082.1.0
1509=============
1510FEATURES:
1511        - New networking code allows a single server to handle both
1512          UDP and TCP connections.  By default up to 10 simultaneous
1513          TCP connections are supported.  Use the '-n' flag to change
1514          the default.
1515
15162.0.2
1517=============
1518BUG FIXES:
1519        - Allow the use of a mnemonic for the algorithm field of a
1520          DNSKEY record.
1521        - Behavior of the zonec -v flag has been modified.  By default
1522          zonec will only print a single line with a summary of the
1523          error count.
1524        - Bug #75: Fixed typo in previous "fix".
1525
15262.0.1
1527=============
1528BUG FIXES:
1529        - Queries for QTYPE DS (DNSSEC) were not handled correctly in
1530          certain cases.
1531        - Partial support for unknown RRs.  Known RR types with
1532          unknown RR data format is not yet supported.
1533        - Bug #75: Fixed bad error message when nsdc update is run for
1534          the first time.
1535        - Bug #78: Multiple zones, each with include directives, are
1536          now compiled correctly.
1537
15382.0.0
1539=============
1540FEATURES:
1541        - Experimental DNSSEC support implemented, but disabled by
1542          default.  Enable using the --enable-dnssec configuration
1543          option.
1544        - IPv6 enabled by default.  Disable using the --disable-ipv6
1545          configuration option.
1546
1547BUG FIXES:
1548        - Bug #47: Domain name is now logged when a notify is
1549          received.
1550        - Bug #70: First include all A records in the additional
1551          section, followed by AAAA records.
1552        - Bug #77: Check length of domain name and label.
1553        - LOC records are supported again.
1554
15551.4.0-alpha1
1556=============
1557FEATURES:
1558        - New database format that is much more compact and portable
1559          across architectures.
1560        - The new zone compiler is now the default and the old zone
1561          compiler has been removed.
1562        - Name compression is done dynamically, removing one other
1563          difference with BIND in the responses generated (the full
1564          query name is now used for compression).
1565        - CNAME target records are now generated from wildcard
1566          records if necessary.
1567
1568REGRESSIONS:
1569        - mmap(2) isn't currently supported.
1570        - Not all RR types are supported by zonec (such as LOC).
1571
15721.3.0-alpha1
1573=============
1574FEATURES:
1575        - New name lookup algorithm.  This required a change to the
1576          database format.  Performance should increase at the expense
1577          of database size and memory usage.
1578        - New zone compiler (zonec2) based on flex and yacc, fully RFC
1579          compliant (still in alpha).
1580        - Database can be loaded using mmap(2) (use the --enable-mmap
1581          configure option to enable).  This is useful on operating
1582          systems such as Solaris that do not allow memory overcommit.
1583        - Region based memory allocation and resource management.
1584        - New internal format for storing domain names.  Each dname
1585          now includes an array of label offsets within the domain
1586          name.
1587        - Updates to the plugin API.
1588
1589BUG FIXES:
1590        - Bug #65: The syslog facility is now a compile time option
1591          (--with-facility=FACILITY).  The default facility is DAEMON.
1592        - Bug #66: Automatic periodic dumping of the statistics (using
1593          the -s option) is now continued after a database reload.
1594
15951.2.4
1596=============
1597BUG FIXES:
1598        - Bug #72: If an RRset for a child domain is defined before
1599          the RRset of the parent domain the parent's RRset would be
1600          "lost".
1601
16021.2.3
1603=============
1604BUG FIXES:
1605        - Bug #65: The syslog facility is now a compile time option
1606          (--with-facility=FACILITY).  The default facility is DAEMON.
1607        - Bug #66: Automatic periodic dumping of the statistics (using
1608          the -s option) is now continued after a database reload.
1609        - NSD would try to kill pid -1 on startup if forking of a child
1610          process failed.
1611        - Do not log EAGAIN errors on calls to recvfrom.  These errors
1612          should be harmless.
1613
16141.2.2
1615=============
1616BUG FIXES:
1617        - Bug #59: NSD returns FORMERR when the query name is >= 246
1618          bytes.
1619        - Bug #60: Zonec runs out of file descriptors with many zones.
1620        - Bug #61: nsdc uses /bin/sh hardwired (and should not).
1621        - Bug #62: NSD is not able to log to a file.
1622        - Bug #63: nsdc update and zonec are too talkative.
1623        - Bug #64: Answer for request of a host resolved by a
1624          wildcard-resource-record is not understandable by dig.
1625
16261.2.1
1627=============
1628BUG FIXES:
1629        - AXFR terminates early if a zone contains a CNAME pointing
1630          the the zone's domain name (SOA record) (bug #56).
1631        - During an AXFR memory above the top of the stack was
1632          accessed.  This could lead to occasional AXFR errors (bad
1633          packets).
1634        - NSD now prints its version number and exits when invoked
1635          with the -v flag (bug #57).
1636        - NSD prints help information and exits when invoked with the
1637          -h flag.
1638
16391.2.0
1640=============
1641FEATURES:
1642        - NSD is now a single parent process (handling child
1643          termination and database reloads) plus multiple UDP and TCP
1644          child processes handling queries.  Before the parent process
1645          also handled UDP queries.  This change simplifies the parent
1646          and child processes and allows the use of multiple
1647          concurrent UDP servers.
1648        - Experimental plugin support.  This required a minor,
1649          incompatible change to the database format.  Make sure you
1650          recompile your database.  Use --enable-plugins to enable.
1651        - Full IPv6 support (for multi-homing and for Linux, thanks to
1652          Colm MacCárthaigh and Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino).  Use
1653          --enable-ipv6 to enable.
1654        - Support for multi-homing with TCP connections.
1655        - Support for SunOS 4.x has been dropped.
1656
1657CODE CHANGES:
1658        - NSD should now conform to the Single Unix Specification
1659          (http://www.unix.org/).
1660        - Const correctness for strings and some other data types.
1661        - Removed code for Berkeley DB, hash tables, and mmap(2).
1662        - Separate preprocessor flags from code flags (CPPFLAGS and
1663          CFLAGS).
1664        - Use uint8_t instead of u_char, uint{16,32}_t instead of
1665          u_int{16,32}_t.
1666        - Fixed warnings from mixing signed and unsigned types.
1667        - Use sigaction(2) instead of signal(2).
1668        - The query_process function has been split up for clarity.
1669
1670BUG FIXES:
1671        - CHAOS TXT queries failed on big-endian machines.
1672        - Portability fixes for Tru64 (thanks to Stephane Bortzmeyer),
1673          HP-UX, and MacOS X (thanks to Ronald van der Pol).
1674        - Removed compile time limit on maximum number of TCP child
1675          servers.
1676        - Support for debugging UDP and TCP queries.
1677        - Always ensure there is enough room for the EDNS record when
1678          answering a query with EDNS enabled.

17501.0.0 RELEASE
1751=============
1752
1753KNOWN BUGS:
1754
1755- Although NSD allows one to configure a zone without SOA record and
1756  use it as so called ``cached'' non-authoritative data, it is decided
1757  that having this functionality is wrong, dangerous and will be removed
1758  from the further versions.
1759
1760- If while processing EDNS(0) OPT record NSD encounters bad EDNS(0)
1761  version it will answer with Format Error instead of EDNS(0) BADVERS
