        BIND 10 - 1.0.0 Release Candidate

Welcome to the first release candidate toward the first production
BIND 10 1.0.0 release.  BIND 10 provides a C++ library for DNS
(with python wrappers) and several cooperating daemons for providing
authoritative DNS service (with in-memory and SQLite3 backends and
DNSSEC support), dynamic DNS, zone transfers, and experimental
forwarding and recursive name service.  Supplementary components
are included for statistics collection and reporting and remote
configuration and control.

This version of BIND 10 also includes the latest snapshot of the
BIND 10 DHCP development.  The snapshot includes a C++ library for
DHCP and two DHCP servers, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6. Features
of these servers are:

* Able to allocate and renew addresses, and handle lease expiration
  and releases.
* Supports a subset of clients:
  - DHCPv4 clients connected to the server via a relay.
  - DHCPv6 clients on the same LAN as the server.
* Able to configure values for standard options returned to a client,
  either globally or on a per-subnet basis.
* Able to define new options and configure them in the same way as
  standard options.
* Leases are stored in a MySQL database.
* Configuration, logging and process control uses the same mechanisms
  as the BIND 10 DNS server.

Note: The default testing account and password for bindctl/b10-cmdctl
is now removed; a new account for remote configuration and control
can be created with b10-cmdctl-usermgr, for example:
        b10-cmdctl-usermgr --file /usr/local/etc/bind10/cmdctl-accounts.csv

We are looking for testers to provide feedback about using this
release candidate. For more information about BIND 10, the release
schedule, and the community testing plans, please see:

Documentation is included and also available via the BIND 10 website
at http://bind10.isc.org/

        There is no longer a default user account. The old default account
        with username 'root' has been removed. In a fresh installation of
        BIND 10, the administrator has to configure a user account using
        the b10-cmdctl-usermgr program.

        libdatasrc/b10-auth: corrected some corner cases in query handling
        of in-memory data source that led to the following invalid/odd
        responses from b10-auth:
        - duplicate RRs in answer and additional for type ANY query
        - incorrect NSEC for no error, no data (NXRRSET) response that
          matches a wildcard

578.    [bug]           jinmei
        b10-auth now returns closest encloser NSEC3 proof to queries for
        an empty non terminal derived from an Opt-Out NSEC RR, as clarified
        in errata 3441 for RFC5155.  Previously it regarded such case as
        broken zone and returned SERVFAIL.
        (Trac #2659, git 24c235cb1b379c6472772d340e21577c3460b742)

577.    [func]          muks
        Added an SQLite3 index on records(rname, rdtype). This decreases
        insert performance by ~28% and adds about ~20% to the file size,
        but increases zone iteration performance. As it introduces a new
        index, a database upgrade would be required.

        b10-dhcp6: Fixed bug when the server aborts operation when
        receiving renew and there are no IPv6 subnets configured.

        b10-dhcp6: Fixed the bug whereby the subnet for the incoming
        packet was selected using only its source address. The subnet
        is now selected using either source address or the name of the
        server's interface on which the packet has been received.

574.    [func]          tmark
        b10-dhcp4, b10-dhcp6: Composite key indexes were added to the lease
        tables to reduce lease search time. The lease4 table now has two
        additional indexes: a) hwaddr/subnet_id and b) client_id/subnet_id.
        The lease6 now has the one additional index: iaid/subnet_id/duid.
        Adding these indexes significantly improves lease acquisition
        performance.

        Fixed problem whereby the DHCP server crashed if it ran out of
        addresses.  Such a condition now causes a packet to be returned

        failure reported on some Solaris environments.

        libdns++/Python isc.dns: In Python isc.dns, function style
        constants for RRType, RRClass, Rcode and Opcode were deprecated
        and replaced with straightforward object constants, e.g., from
        RRType.AAAA() to RRType.AAAA.  This is a backward incompatible
        change (see the Trac ticket for a conversion script if needed).
        Also, these constants are now more consistent between C++
        and Python, and RRType constants for all currently standardized
        types are now supported (even if Rdata for these are not yet
        available).

        The main initializer script (formerly known as either 'bind10',
        'boss', or 'bob'), has been renamed to b10-init (and Init in
        configuration). Configuring which components are run is henceforth
        done through '/Init/components', and the sbin/bind10 script is now
        simply a shellscript that runs b10-init. Existing configuration is
        automatically updated. NOTE: once configuration with this update
        has been saved (by committing any new change with bindctl), you
        cannot run older versions of BIND 10 anymore with this configuration.

        libdns++: the CNAME, DNAME, MX, NS, PTR and SRV Rdata classes now
        use the generic lexer in constructors from text.  This means that
        the name fields in such RRs in a zone file can now be non-absolute
        (the origin name in that context will be used), e.g., when loaded
        by b10-loadzone. One additional change to the libdns++ API is that
        the existing string constructors for these Rdata classes also use
        the generic lexer, and they now expect an absolute name (with the
        trailing '.') in the name fields.

        b10-auth now sets the TTL of SOA RR for negative responses to
        the minimum of the RR TTL and the minimum TTL of the SOA RDATA
        as specified in RFC2308; previously the RR TTL was always used.
        The ZoneFinder class was extended partly for implementing this
        and partly for allowing further optimization.

        Without this change, some TXT and SPF RDATA were incorrectly
        stored in SQLite3 datasource as they were not escaped.

        b10-dhcp6: Support for RELEASE message has been added. Clients
        are now able to release their non-temporary IPv6 addresses.

        Detect a build issue on FreeBSD with g++ 4.2 and Boost installed via
        FreeBSD ports at ./configure time.  This seems to be a bug of
        FreeBSD ports setup and has been reported to the maintainer:
        http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=174753
        Until it's fixed, you need to build BIND 10 for FreeBSD that has
        this problem with specifying --without-werror, with clang++
        (development version), or with manually extracted Boost header
        files (no compiled Boost library is necessary).
        (Trac #1991, git 6b045bcd1f9613e3835551cdebd2616ea8319a36)

535.    [bug]           jelte
        The log4cplus internal logging mechanism has been disabled, and no
        output from the log4cplus library itself should be printed to
        stderr anymore. This output can be enabled by using the
        compile-time option --enable-debug.
        (Trac #1081, git db55f102b30e76b72b134cbd77bd183cd01f95c0)

534.    [func]*         vorner
        The b10-msgq now uses the same logging format as the rest
        of the system. However, it still doesn't obey the common
        configuration, as due to technical issues it is not able
        to read it yet.
