Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- The use of the ``max-zone-ttl`` option in ``options`` and ``zone``
- blocks has been deprecated; it should now be configured as part of
- ``dnssec-policy``. A warning is logged if this option is used in
- ``options`` or ``zone``. In a future release, it will become
- nonoperational. :gl:`#2918`

Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- DNSSEC ``RSASHA1`` and ``NSEC3RSASHA1`` are automatically disabled
- on systems (e.g. RHEL9) where they are disallowed by the security
- policy. Primary zones using those algorithms need to be moved
- off of them prior to running on these systems as graceful migration
- to different DNSSEC algorithms is not possible when RSASHA1 is
- disallowed by the OS. :gl:`#3469`
+- The DNSSEC algorithms RSASHA1 and NSEC3RSASHA1 are now automatically
+ disabled on systems where they are disallowed by the security policy
+ (e.g. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9). Primary zones using those
+ algorithms need to be migrated to new algorithms prior to running on
+ these systems, as graceful migration to different DNSSEC algorithms is
+ not possible when RSASHA1 is disallowed by the operating system.
+ :gl:`#3469`
-- Fetch limit log messages have been improved to provide more complete
- information. Specifically, the final values of allowed and spilled fetches
- will now be logged before the counter object gets destroyed. :gl:`#3461`
+- Log messages related to fetch limiting have been improved to provide
+ more complete information. Specifically, the final counts of allowed
+ and spilled fetches are now logged before the counter object is
+ destroyed. :gl:`#3461`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
broken DS response and :iscman:`named` failed its attempts to find a
proper one instead. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3439`
-- A DNS compression would be applied on the root zone name if it is repeatedly
- used in the same RRSet. :gl:`#3423`
+- DNS compression is no longer applied to the root name (``.``) if it is
+ repeatedly used in the same RRset. :gl:`#3423`
-- Non-dynamic zones that inherit dnssec-policy from the view or
- options level were not marked as inline-signed, and thus were never
- scheduled to be re-signed. This is now fixed. :gl:`#3438`
+- Non-dynamic zones that inherit :any:`dnssec-policy` from the
+ :namedconf:ref:`view` or :namedconf:ref:`options` blocks were not
+ marked as inline-signed and therefore never scheduled to be re-signed.
+ This has been fixed. :gl:`#3438`
-- Fix `rndc dumpdb -expired` to include expired RRsets, even if the cache
- cleaning time window has passed. This will now show expired RRsets that are
- stuck in the cache. :gl:`#3462`
+- :option:`rndc dumpdb -expired <rndc dumpdb>` was fixed to include
+ expired RRsets, even if :any:`stale-cache-enable` is set to ``no`` and
+ the cache-cleaning time window has passed. :gl:`#3462`
