Subject: BIND 8.2.2 (T3B; RC0) is available for general testing
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 00:01:59 -0700
From: Paul A Vixie <vixie at bb.rc.vix.com>

Confidence: moderate.  This is running on part of F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET and
on all of our local production servers.  The only reasons it's not a full
release candidate are that IXFR is still disabled and we're still tinkering
with the NT support.

Highlights vs. BIND 8.2.1:

	Preliminary support for Windows/NT (thanks to BayNetworks).
	More fixes, especially to DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, and selective forwarding.
	More portability improvements and lint removal (A/UX 3.1.1, SCO 5.0).
	Better NOTIFY behaviour, especially with large update volume.
	Better UPDATE handling, including SRV RR support and RFC compliance.
	Fix for "ndc reload ZONENAME" (specific zone reload) problems.
	Fix for round robin when multiple CNAMEs are in use.
	New "min-roots" (MINROOTS) and "serial-queries" (MAXQSERIAL) options.
	Log files are no longer auto-rotated every time the server starts up.
	New "ndc reconfig" command only finds new/deleted zones, no stat()ing.
	New global options for "update-source" and "also-notify".
	$GENERATE now supports more record types, and options.

 772.	[typo]		Typo in ns_parser.y on maybe_zero_port: line.

 771.	[lint]		UNLINK performs a INIT_LINK so explicit INIT_LINK's

 770.	[protocol]	dynamic update prerequisites were inappropiately
			matching wildcards, at variance with RFC 2136.

 769.	[bug]		ordering of CNAMES was driven by original query type.

 768.	[support]	MINROOTS is now a configuration option "min-roots".

			coalesced.

 762.	[support]	don't rotate log file versions on server startup.

 761.	[port]		named-xfer's openlog() was unconditionally using the
			LOG_CONS option.  now it does what named does.

 742.	[port]		port/sco50 was using /usr/local/etc for its ndc socket.

 741.	[port]		HPUX needed __BIND_RES_TEXT.

 737.	[port]		solaris: expr is sensitive to LC_COLLATE

 736.	[bug]		potential single file descriptor leak opening
			/dev/random.

 735.	[bug]		memory leak: having rrset-order set and reconfiguring
			the server results in a memory leak.

 734.	[port]		linux only fills in as many entries as will fill the
			buffer with SIOCGIFCONF.

 733.	[bug]		RD is not being set on first message to first forwarder
			resulting in false "Lame Server" reports and degraded

			library could cope with.

 729.	[bug]		allow-query responses were dependent upon cache
			contents.

 728.	[bug]		it wasn't possible to specify the flags of trusted keys
			in hex, which was inconvenient since dig prints hex.
