128260f9a8SchristosNotes for BIND 9.16.9
138260f9a8Schristos---------------------
148260f9a8Schristos
158260f9a8SchristosNew Features
168260f9a8Schristos~~~~~~~~~~~~
178260f9a8Schristos
188260f9a8Schristos- A new configuration option, ``stale-refresh-time``, has been
198260f9a8Schristos  introduced. It allows a stale RRset to be served directly from cache
208260f9a8Schristos  for a period of time after a failed lookup, before a new attempt to
21b9eb1a82Schristos  refresh it is made. :gl:`#2066`
228260f9a8Schristos
238260f9a8SchristosBug Fixes
248260f9a8Schristos~~~~~~~~~
258260f9a8Schristos
268260f9a8Schristos- ``named`` could crash with an assertion failure if a TCP connection
27b9eb1a82Schristos  were closed while a request was still being processed. :gl:`#2227`
288260f9a8Schristos
298260f9a8Schristos- ``named`` acting as a resolver could incorrectly treat signed zones
308260f9a8Schristos  with no DS record at the parent as bogus. Such zones should be treated
31b9eb1a82Schristos  as insecure. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2236`
328260f9a8Schristos
338260f9a8Schristos- After a Negative Trust Anchor (NTA) is added, BIND performs periodic
348260f9a8Schristos  checks to see if it is still necessary. If BIND encountered a failure
358260f9a8Schristos  while creating a query to perform such a check, it attempted to
36b9eb1a82Schristos  dereference a ``NULL`` pointer, resulting in a crash. :gl:`#2244`
378260f9a8Schristos
388260f9a8Schristos- A problem obtaining glue records could prevent a stub zone from
398260f9a8Schristos  functioning properly, if the authoritative server for the zone were
40b9eb1a82Schristos  configured for minimal responses. :gl:`#1736`
418260f9a8Schristos
428260f9a8Schristos- ``UV_EOF`` is no longer treated as a ``TCP4RecvErr`` or a
43b9eb1a82Schristos  ``TCP6RecvErr``. :gl:`#2208`
