New releases of BIND are available for download from the Internet Systems Consortium web site (https://www.isc.org/downloads)
BIND 9.11.16 and 9.14.11 are maintenance release versions of the existing 9.11 (ESV) and 9.14 release branches and contain the usual assortment of bug fixes and minor feature improvements. The bigger news in today's set of releases is the release of BIND 9.16.0: the code refactoring, new features, and performance work which were done for the 9.15 experimental branch are now considered complete and stable enough to be moved to a production branch of BIND, capping major changes to that work and moving it to the new stable branch. Significant work included in the 9.16 branch includes: - New Key and Signing Policy (KASP) features provide simplified DNSSEC key and signing management using policies defined by the "dnssec-policy" statement. - BIND's networking system has been substantially reworked. - The way that trust anchors are managed has been improved. - DLV (Domain Look-aside Verification) has been deprecated since BIND 9.12. And dlv.isc.org [the main service used by those previously relying on DLV] has been turned off since 2017. Support for DLV has now been removed completely, shortening BIND's validator by hundreds of lines of code and greatly reducing its complexity.
