- "--with-geoip" is used to enable the legacy GeoIP library.
- "--with-geoip2" is used to enable the new GeoIP2 library
(libmaxminddb), and is on by default if the library is found.
- using both "--with-geoip" and "--with-geoip2" at the same time
is an error.
- an attempt is made to determine the default GeoIP2 database path at
compile time if pkg-config is able to report the module prefix. if
this fails, it will be necessary to set the path in named.conf with
geoip-directory
- Makefiles have been updated, and a stub lib/dns/geoip2.c has been
added for the eventual GeoIP2 search implementation.
The ax_check_openssl m4 macro used OPENSSL_INCLUDES. Rename the
subst variable to OPENSSL_CFLAGS and wrap AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() in
action-if-not-found part of PKG_CHECK_MODULE check for libcrypto.
The json-c have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
The libxml2 have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
Make will choose modified manual from build directory or original from source
directory automagically. Take advantage of install tool feature.
Install all files in single command instead of iterating on each of them.
- the default setting for dnssec-validation is now "auto", which
activates DNSSEC validation using the IANA root key. The old behavior
can be restored by explicitly setting "dnssec-validation yes", which
"yes", which activates DNSSEC validation only if keys are explicitly
configured in named.conf.
- the ARM has been updated to describe the new behavior
- Replace external -DOPENSSL/-DPKCS11CRYPTO with properly AC_DEFINEd
HAVE_OPENSSL/HAVE_PKCS11
- Don't enforce the crypto provider from platform.h, just from dst_api.c
and configure scripts
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]
4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
4235. [func] Added support in named for "dnstap", a fast method of
capturing and logging DNS traffic, and a new command
"dnstap-read" to read a dnstap log file. Use
"configure --enable-dnstap" to enable this
feature (note that this requires libprotobuf-c
and libfstrm). See the ARM for configuration details.
Thanks to Robert Edmonds of Farsight Security.
[RT #40211]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
3741. [func] "delve" (domain entity lookup and validation engine):
A new tool with dig-like semantics for performing DNS
lookups, with internal DNSSEC validation, using the
same resolver and validator logic as named. This
allows easy validation of DNSSEC data in environments
with untrustworthy resolvers, and assists with
troubleshooting of DNSSEC problems. (Note: not yet
available on win32.) [RT #32406]
3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]
3504. [func] Add support for ACLs based on geographic location,
using MaxMind GeoIP databases. Based on code
contributed by Ken Brownfield <kb@slide.com>.
[RT #30681]
