The dnssec-must-be-secure feature was added in the early days of BIND 9
and DNSSEC and it makes sense only as a debugging feature. There are no
reasons to keep this feature in the production code anymore.
Remove the feature to simplify the code.
Changing the default for max-recursion-queries from 100 to 32 was too
strict in some cases, especially lookups in reverse IPv6 trees started
to fail more frequently. From issue #4921 it looks like 50 is a better
default.
Now that we have 'max-query-count' as a global limit of outgoing queries
per client request, we can increase the default for
'max-recursion-queries' again, as the number of recursive queries is
no longer bound by the multiple of 'max-recursion-queries' and
'max-query-restarts'.
Add another option to configure how many outgoing queries per
client request is allowed. The existing 'max-recursion-queries' is
per restart, this one is a global limit.
the generated grammar for named.conf clauses that may or may not be
enabled at compile time will now print the same comment regardless of
whether or not they are.
previously, the grammar didn't print a comment if an option was enabled,
but printed "not configured" if it was disabled. now, in both cases,
it will say "optional (only available if configured)".
as an incidental fix, clarified the documentation for "named-checkconf -n".
The DLZ modules are poorly maintained as we only ensure they can still
be compiled, the DLZ interface is blocking, so anything that blocks the
query to the database blocks the whole server and they should not be
used except in testing. The DLZ interface itself should be scheduled
for removal.
This change adds a "none" parameter to the query-source[-v6]
options in named.conf, which forbid the usage of IPv4 or IPv6
addresses when doing upstream queries.
Keeping the Known Issues as part of the rendered docs has the issue that
the list can't be updated on the official docs website until the next
release. This is unpractical is a high-priority issue is discovered
shortly after a release. Keep the Known Issues in wiki and simply link
to the list from the rendered docs. The wiki article can be updated at
any time as needed.
QPDB is now a default implementation for both cache and zone. Remove
the venerable RBTDB database implementation, so we can fast-track the
changes to the database without having to implement the design changes
to both QPDB and RBTDB and this allows us to be more aggressive when
refactoring the database design.
With the introduction of the generated changelog, the CHANGES file
became a symlink to doc/arm/changelog.rst. After the changes made in
!9549, the changelog file transitioned from being a wholly generated
file to one that includes versioned changelog files, which are
themselves generated. However, while implementing !9549, we overlooked
that the CHANGES file is copied to a release directory on an FTP server
and contains just "include" directives, not the changelog itself.
Therefore, in the same fashion as the "RELEASE-NOTES*.html" file, create
a "CHANGELOG*.html" file that redirects to the Changelog appendix of the
ARM.
the logging of error-report queries is no longer activated by
the view's "send-report-channel" option; that now only configures
the agent-domain value that is to be sent in authoritative
responses. the warning that was logged when "send-agent-domain"
was set to a value that is not a locally configured zone has
been removed.
error-report logging is now activated by the presence of an
authoritative zone with the "log-report-channel" option set to
"yes". this is not permitted in the root zone.
NOTE: a zone with "log-report-channel yes;" should contain a
"*._er" wildcard, but that requirement is not yet enforced.
add a boolean "log-report-channel" option for primary and
secondary zones, which sets the DNS_ZONEOPT_LOGREPORTS zone
flag. this option is not yet functional.
If send-report-channel is set at the zone level, it will
be stored in the zone object and used instead of the
view-level agent-domain when constructing the EDNS
Report-Channel option.
This commit adds support for the EDNS Report-Channel option,
which is returned in authoritative responses when EDNS is in use.
"send-report-channel" sets the Agent-Domain value that will be
included in EDNS Report-Channel options. This is configurable at
the options/view level; the value is a DNS name. Setting the
Agent-Domain to the root zone (".") disables the option.
When this value has been set, incoming queries matchng the form
_er.<qtype>.<qname>.<extended-error-code>._er.<agent-domain>/TXT
will be logged to the dns-reporting-agent channel at INFO level.
(Note: error reporting queries will only be accepted if sent via
TCP or with a good server cookie. If neither is present, named
returns BADCOOKIE to complete the DNS COOKIE handshake, or TC=1
to switch the client to TCP.)
With Sphinx 8.1.0, footnotes can't stand on their own and have to be
referenced from somewhere, otherwise build fails, e.g.:

Enforcing pylint standards and default for our test code seems
counter-productive. Since most of the newly added code are tests or is
test-related, encountering these checks rarely make us refactor the code
in other ways and we just disable these checks individually. Code that
is too complex or convoluted will be pointed out in reviews anyways.
This release note was missing due to a malformed Merge Request title.
The text is not copied verbatim, but changed to something more release
note-like.
This commit adds support for timestamps in iso8601 format with timezone
when logging. This is exposed through the iso8601-tzinfo printtime
suboption.
It also makes the new logging format the default for -g output,
hopefully removing the need for custom timestamp parsing in scripts.
The example.com zone file given in the "Configurations and Zone Files"
chapter has an SOA expire of 3 weeks, which is not a multiple of
the default signatures-validity value. Adjust the SOA expire so that
it is much lower than the signatures-validity default.
When `sig-validity-interval` was obsoleted, the text that the signature
validity interval should be multiples of the SOA expire interval was
removed. Restore this text to the description of the
`signatures-validity` option.
On Linux, the system administrator can use Control Group ``cgroup``
mechanism to limit the amount of available memory to the process. This
limit will be honoured when calculating the percentage-based values.
