Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- Implement ``draft-vandijk-dnsop-nsec-ttl``, NSEC(3) TTL values are now set to
- the minimum of the SOA MINIMUM value and the SOA TTL. :gl:`#2347`
+- The ``draft-vandijk-dnsop-nsec-ttl`` IETF draft was implemented:
+ NSEC(3) TTL values are now set to the minimum of the SOA MINIMUM value
+ or the SOA TTL. :gl:`#2347`
-- Reduce the supported maximum number of iterations that can be
- configured in an NSEC3 zones to 150. :gl:`#2642`
+- The maximum supported number of NSEC3 iterations that can be
+ configured for a zone has been reduced to 150. :gl:`#2642`
-- Treat DNSSEC responses with NSEC3 iterations greater than 150 as insecure.
- :gl:`#2445`
+- DNSSEC responses containing NSEC3 records with iteration counts
+ greater than 150 are now treated as insecure. :gl:`#2445`
-- Zones that want to transition from secure to insecure mode without making it
- bogus in the process should now first change their ``dnssec-policy`` to
- ``insecure`` (as opposed to ``none``). Only after the DNSSEC records have
- been removed from the zone (in a timely manner), the ``dnssec-policy`` can
- be set to ``none`` (or be removed from the configuration). Setting the
- ``dnssec-policy`` to ``insecure`` will cause CDS and CDNSKEY DELETE records
- to be published. :gl:`#2645`
+- Zones that want to transition from secure to insecure mode without
+ becoming bogus in the process must now have their ``dnssec-policy``
+ changed first to ``insecure``, rather than ``none``. After the DNSSEC
+ records have been removed from the zone, the ``dnssec-policy`` can be
+ set to ``none`` or removed from the configuration. Setting the
+ ``dnssec-policy`` to ``insecure`` causes CDS and CDNSKEY DELETE
+ records to be published. :gl:`#2645`
-- Change the ``max-ixfr-ratio`` configuration option default value to
- ``unlimited`` for better backwards compatibility in the stable release
- series. :gl:`#2671`
+- The default value of the ``max-ixfr-ratio`` option was changed to
+ ``unlimited``, for better backwards compatibility in the stable
+ release series. :gl:`#2671`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
-- When dumping the cache to file, TTLs were being increased with
- ``max-stale-ttl``. Also the comment above stale RRsets could have nonsensical
- values if the RRset was still marked a stale but the ``max-stale-ttl`` has
- passed (and is actually an RRset awaiting cleanup). Both issues have now
- been fixed. :gl:`#389` :gl:`#2289`
+- TTL values in cache dumps were reported incorrectly when
+ ``stale-cache-enable`` was set to ``yes``. This has been fixed.
+ :gl:`#389` :gl:`#2289`
-- ``named`` would overwrite a zone file unconditionally when it recovered from
- a corrupted journal. :gl:`#2623`
+- When generating zone signing keys, KASP now also checks for key ID
+ conflicts among newly created keys, rather than just between new and
+ existing ones. :gl:`#2628`
-- With ``dnssec-policy``, when creating new keys also check for keyid conflicts
- between the new keys too. :gl:`#2628`
+- The implementation of the ZONEMD RR type has been updated to match
+ :rfc:`8976`. :gl:`#2658`
-- Update ZONEMD to match RFC 8976. :gl:`#2658`
-
-- With ``dnssec-policy```, don't roll keys if the private key file is offline.
+- If ``dnssec-policy`` was active and the private key file was
+ temporarily offline during a rekey event, ``named`` could introduce
+ replacement keys and break a signed zone. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#2596`
-- Journal compaction could fail when a journal with invalid transaction
- headers was not detected at startup. :gl:`#2670`
+- It was possible for corrupt journal files generated by an earlier
+ version of ``named`` to cause problems after an upgrade. This has been
+ fixed. :gl:`#2670`
-- ``named-checkconf`` now complains if zones with ``dnssec-policy`` reference
- the same zone file more than once. :gl:`#2603`
+- ``named`` and ``named-checkconf`` did not report an error when
+ multiple zones with the ``dnssec-policy`` option set were using the
+ same zone file. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2603`
