impact of reflection and amplification attacks, is
always compiled in and no longer requires a compile-time
option to enable it.
- - A new zone file format, "map", allows zone data to be
- stored in a format that can be mapped directly into memory,
- allowing much faster zone loading.

+ - "delve" (domain entity lookup and validation engine) is a
+ new tool with dig-like semantics for looking up DNS data

- Improved EDNS(0) processing for better resolver performance
and reliability over slow or lossy connections.
- Substantial improvement in response-policy zone (RPZ)
instead of using a modified OpenSSL as an intermediary.
This has been tested with the Thales nShield HSM and with
SoftHSMv2 from the Open DNSSEC project.
- - New 'dnssec-coverage' tool to check DNSSEC key coverage
+ - New "dnssec-coverage" tool to check DNSSEC key coverage
for a zone and report if a lapse in signing coverage has
been inadvertently scheduled.
- Signing algorithm flexibility and other improvements
for the "rndc" control channel.
- - 'named-checkzone' and 'named-compilezone' can now read
+ - "named-checkzone" and "named-compilezone" can now read
journal files, allowing them to process dynamic zones.
- Multiple DLZ databases can now be configured. Individual
zones can be configured to be served from a specific DLZ
for specific clients via the new "no-case-compress" ACL.
- new "dnssec-importkey" command allows the use of offline
DNSSEC keys with automatic DNSKEY management.
- - New 'named-rrchecker' tool to verify the syntactic
+ - New "named-rrchecker" tool to verify the syntactic
correctness of individual resource records.
- When re-signing a zone, the new "dnssec-signzone -Q" option
drops signatures from keys that are still published but are
