4807. [cleanup] isc_rng_randombytes() returns a specified number of
bytes from the PRNG; this is now used instead of
calling isc_rng_random() multiple times. [RT #46230]
4579. [func] Logging channels and dnstap output files can now
be configured with a "suffix" option, set to
either "increment" or "timestamp", indicating
whether to use incrementing numbers or timestamps
as the file suffix when rolling over a log file.
[RT #42838]
4411. [func] "rndc dnstap -roll" automatically rolls the
dnstap output file; the previous version is
saved with ".0" suffix, and earlier versions
with ".1" and so on. An optional numeric argument
indicates how many prior files to save. [RT #42830]
provisioning secondary servers in which a list of
zones to be served is stored in a DNS zone and can
be propagated to slaves via AXFR/IXFR. [RT #41581]
4375. [func] Add support for automatic reallocation of isc_buffer
to isc_buffer_put* functions. [RT #42394]
4290. [func] The timers returned by the statistics channel
(indicating current time, server boot time, and
most recent reconfiguration time) are now reported
with millisecond accuracy. [RT #40082]
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]
4005. [func] The buffer used for returning text from rndc
commands is now dynamically resizable, allowing
arbitrarily large amounts of text to be sent back
to the client. (Prior to this change, it was
possible for the output of "rndc tsig-list" to be
truncated.) [RT #37731]
