This reverts commit 560d8b833e.
This change created a potential race between key refresh queries and
root zone priming queries which could leave the root name servers in
the bad-server cache.
4773. [bug] Keys specified in "managed-keys" statements
can now only be used when validating key refresh
queries during initialization of RFC 5011 key
maintenance. If initialization fails, DNSSEC
validation of normal queries will also fail.
Previously, validation of normal queries could
succeed using the initializing key, potentially
masking problems with managed-keys. [RT #46077]
4762. [func] "update-policy local" is now restricted to updates
from local addresses. (Previously, other addresses
were allowed so long as updates were signed by the
local session key.) [RT #45492]
4749. [func] The ISC DLV service has been shut down, and all
DLV records have been removed from dlv.isc.org.
- Removed references to ISC DLV in documentation
- Removed DLV key from bind.keys
- No longer use ISC DLV by default in delv
[RT #46155]
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".

4727. [bug] Retransferring an inline-signed slave using NSEC3
around the time its NSEC3 salt was changed could result
in an infinite signing loop. [RT #45080]
4713. [func] Added support for the DNS Response Policy Service
(DNSRPS) API, which allows named to use an external
response policy daemon when built with
"configure --enable-dnsrps". Thanks to Vernon
Schryver and Farsight Security. [RT #43376]
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
allows named to provide stale cached answers when
the authoritative server is under attack.
See max-stale-ttl, stale-answer-enable,
stale-answer-ttl. [RT #44790]
4664. [func] Add a "glue-cache" option to enable or disable the
glue cache. The default is "no" to reduce memory
usage, but enabling this option will improve
performance in delegation-heavy zones. [RT #45125]
4613. [func] By default, the maximum size of a zone journal file
is now twice the size of the zone's contents (there
is little benefit to a journal larger than this).
This can be overridden by setting "max-journal-size"
to "unlimited" or to an explicit value up to 2G.
Thanks to Tony Finch. [RT #38324]
4610. [func] The "new-zones-directory" option specifies the
location of NZF or NZD files for storing
configuration of zones added by "rndc addzone".
Thanks to Petr Menšík. [RT #44853]
