included, as well as a few minor enhancements. Check CHANGES for details.
Improve greatly the PORT_REPLACES_BASE option, which now truly replaces
everything, including re-positioning nslookup and nsupdate in sbin, and
writing over the includes, instead of installing them in include/bind.
Unconditionally install dnskeygen in bin, since that's where the base
puts it, and it's only confusing to users if they can't find it after
an installation.
Install isc/ctl.h by hand in the appropriate include directory, since
we install it in the base, and the distribution Makefile does not.
libbind bug, and adds logging for people who attempt to exploit
it to named. Also improves logging for named-xfer, and adds
features to ndc to attempt to preserve command line arguments
that named was started with.
All users of BIND 8 are HIGHLY encouraged to upgrade to this version.
include better EDNS support, the ability to turn EDNS probing off
on a per-server basis, better TSIG support, better handling
of IPv6, and various improvements to the CLI utilities like dig,
host, etc. For other improvements see the CHANGES file.
All users of BIND 8 are heavily encouraged to upgrade.
Changes to the port:
1. My patch for gid_t handling in 5.x was included in the base.
2. Make use of the new and improved MANPREFIX handling in bsd.port.mk.
3. If the user defines REPLACE_SYSTEM_BIND, we do just that.
notes, "If you have BIND 8.3.0 you need to upgrade." See
/usr/local/share/doc/bind8/CHANGES for a complete list, but the most
important change is:
1324. [bug] certian bad delegations could result in a DNS storm.
and a few new features. Many of the bugs are related to memory allocation,
and some of BIND's newer features like TSIG, IXFR, etc. Users particularly
interested should take a look at the CHANGES file (see below).
Perhaps the most significant change is the introduction of EDNS0, the ability
to negotiate capabilities between servers. This feature was previously only
available in BIND 9. Whether this is a good idea or not is yet to be seen.
Install more of the documentation, and wrap it all in PORTSDOCS.
