BIND 9.6.0b1 is now available.
BIND 9.6.0b1 is a beta release for BIND 9.6.0.
Please as a minimum perform a test build on your operating
system. We don't have test platforms for every operating
system and sometimes we accidently break builds. Now is
the time to tell us about that.
Bugs should be reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BIND 9.6 has a number of new features over 9.5, including:
Full NSEC3 support
Automatic zone re-signing
New update-policy methods tcp-self and 6to4-self

Changes since BIND 9.6.0a1
--- 9.6.0b1 released ---
2481. [bug] rbtdb.c:matchparams() failed to handle NSEC3 chain
collisions. [RT #18812]
2480. [bug] named could fail to emit all the required NSEC3
records. [RT #18812]
2479. [bug] xfrout:covers was not properly initalized. [RT #18801]
2478. [bug] 'addresses' could be used uninitalized in
configure_forward(). [RT #18800]
2477. [bug] dig: the global option to print the command line is
+cmd not print_cmd. Update the output to reflect
this. [RT #17008]
2476. [doc] ARM: improve documentation for max-journal-size and
ixfr-from-differences. [RT #15909] [RT #18541]
2475. [bug] LRU cache cleanup under overmem condition could purge
particular entries more aggressively. [RT #17628]
2474. [bug] ACL structures could be allocated with insufficient
space, causing an array overrun. [RT #18765]
2473. [port] linux: raise the limit on open files to the possible
maximum value before spawning threads; 'files'
specified in named.conf doesn't seem to work with
threads as expected. [RT #18784]
2472. [port] linux: check the number of available cpu's before
calling chroot as it depends on "/proc". [RT #16923]
2471. [bug] named-checkzone was not reporting missing mandatory
glue when sibling checks were disabled. [RT #18768]
2470. [bug] Elements of the isc_radix_node_t could be incorrectly
overwritten. [RT# 18719]
2469. [port] solaris: Work around Solaris's select() limitations.
[RT #18769]
2468. [bug] Resolver could try unreachable servers multiple times.
[RT #18739]
2467. [bug] Failure of fcntl(F_DUPFD) wasn't logged. [RT #18740]
2466. [doc] ARM: explain max-cache-ttl 0 SERVFAIL issue.
[RT #18302]
2465. [bug] Adb's handling of lame addresses was different
for IPv4 and IPv6. [RT #18738]
2464. [port] linux: check that a capability is present before
trying to set it. [RT #18135]
2463. [port] linux: POSIX doesn't include the IPv6 Advanced Socket
API and glibc hides parts of the IPv6 Advanced Socket
API as a result. This is stupid as it breaks how the
two halves (Basic and Advanced) of the IPv6 Socket API
were designed to be used but we have to live with it.
Define _GNU_SOURCE to pull in the IPv6 Advanced Socket
API. [RT #18388]
2462. [doc] Document -m (enable memory usage debugging)
option for dig. [RT #18757]
2461. [port] sunos: Change #2363 was not complete. [RT #17513]
